Coloured lithograph. Sheet: 645 x 275mm (25½ x 11"), with large margins.
Section showing Blackfriars Bridge, from 'View of the North Bank of the Thames from Westminster Bridge, to London Bridge. Shewing that Part of the Improvements Suggested by Lt.-Col. Trench, which is Intended to Carry into Execution.' Colonel (later General Sir Frederick) Trench originated the idea of the Thames Embankment, for which a bill was (unsuccessfully) presented to Parliament in 1825. Revived, work on the Embankment started in 1864, although to a different design than is shown here. Drawn by Thomas Mann Baynes, the panorama shows the riverside as it appeared in 1825, from Westminster to London Bridge, with Trench's proposed embankment running from Whitehall to Blackfriars Bridge, with the skyline of London shown correclty above; this would have been one of nine lithographic sheets.

Brunswick Dock on the Thames at Blackwall. This noble bason was excuted from the design & at the individual expence of John Perry Esq.r [...] & the Dock was opened for the reception of Shipping on the 20th of Nov.r 1790. To John Perry Esq.r this Print is with his permission inscribed by his obedient Servant William Daniell.
Drawn & Engraved by W.m Daniell, & Published by him at No.9 Cleveland Street, Fitzroy Square, London, Oct.r 20. 1803.
Coloured aquatint, sheet 505 x 870mm (19½ x 34¼"). Surface loss in places, general paper tone, scratch centre right.
Brunswick Dock, Blackwall, named after the ducal house in honour of George III, with text describing its history. The dock was the first wet dock with gates on to the Thames, and its main feature was a large tower containing a crane for raising or fitting masts to tall ships, visible here. One of six large aquatints by William Daniell of the new docks then being excavated to reduce congestion in the Pool of London. Daniell (1769-1837) was one of the few artists of the period who was as skilled as an aquatinter as he was a painter. It was common practice to add engraved or etched lines to give shape to the tonal effect of the aquatint; this plate is pure aquatint, with no added lines, not even on the rigging of the boats. The margins have been given a grey wash in imitation of watercolour presentation of the period. A painting of the same scene by Daniell, which may have been executed in preparation for this engraving, is in the National Maritime Museum, Greenwich (BHC1867).

Fac Similes des Dessins Extraits des Livres de Croquis de Géricault et Lithographiés par Plusieurs Artistes.
Publiés par Blaisot M.d d'Estampes de S.A.R. M.gr le Duc d'Orléans / Palais Royal 1825 / Imp.e Lithog.e de P. Ducarme, Rue des Fossés Saint Germain l'auxerrois, No. 24
Ten lithographs in original wrappers, sheets each approx 365 x 270mm (14¼ x 10½"). Collector's stamp of [?]Paul and Véronique Sanchez on verso of each (probably variant of L.3289.
Ten lithographs of 20? after drawings by Théodore Géricault (1791 - 1824) and published shortly after his death. Subjects include military and oriental costume studies, fighting bulls, the philosopher Helvetius presenting his son to Voltaire, and a fragment of Michelangelo's 'Last Judgment'. After Géricault's death at the age of 32, his works were auctioned in a sale which contained around 220 paintings and an estimated 1600-1800 drawings and watercolours. Géricault sold very little in his lifetime, and so he owned most of his work at the time of his death. The drawings reproduced here were probably purchased at the auction by Blaisot. While he had little financial success in his lifetime, Géricault's postuhumous influence was on the likes of Delacroix and Courbet was great.

Blake sc.
[Published by Longman, Hurst, Rees, Orme & Brown, London, Novemr. 11th 1818]
Stipple and line engraving, sheet 265 x 215mm (10½ x 8½"). Trimmed, losing publication line.
Plate from Abraham Rees' 'The Cyclopaedia; or, Universal Dictionary of Arts, Sciences, and Literature', engraved by the visionary artist and poet William Blake (1757-1827) to illustrate a text by sculptor John Flaxman. After a period of coolness, Blake and Flaxman were on good terms again at this time, and the sculptor intervened to secure Blake several engraving commissions (including this one) in the 1810s. Without these commissions, Blake might well have fallen into dire poverty at this time.
