Mary Squires the Gypsy, who was Condemned for Stripping Eliza. Canning, at Endfield Wash; and has since obtain'd his Majesty's most Gracious Pardon.
Drawn from the Life, by the Honourable R_d E_d and Etch'd by Tho.s Worlidge, Painter in the Little Piazza, Covent Garden.
[Etched c.1754, but on wove paper watermarked 1812.]
Etching. 205 x 160mm (8 x 6½") very large margins.
An 18-year-old London maidservant called Elizabeth Canning claimed to have been kidnapped on New Year's Day and held for a month, in a brothel in Enfield. She accused `Mother Wells', the madam of the establishment, of trying to force her to become a prostitute. A hideous gypsy crone staying in the house, Mary Squires, cut off the girl's stays (worth 10 shillings), and Elizabeth was imprisoned in an attic with only a few crusts of bread and a jug of water to live on. On January 29th she escaped through a window and walked all the way back to her mother's house in the City. Squires and Wells were apprehended, and tried at the Old Bailey; the former was condemned to be hanged, and the latter was burned in the hand and imprisoned. However opinion turned against Canning and new evidence led her to be charged with perjury and transported for seven years.

Launch of the Great Britain, at Bristol. On the 19th of July 1843, in the presence of H.R.H. Prince Albert.
Drawn by H. Sims.
Engd. & Pubd. by J. Harris [c.1850].
Rare steel engraving, perhaps an illustration trimmed from a writing paper, sheet 110 x 175mm. 4¼ x 7".
The SS ‘Great Britain’ was the first screw-propelled vessel to cross the Atlantic, as well as being the first iron-built ship to do so. She sailed from Liverpool to New York in 1845, taking 14 days 21 hours to make the crossing. She was completed in Bristol in 1843 for the Great Western Steamship Company to the plans of Isambard Kingdom Brunel. Accommodation was provided for about 360 passengers. The Great Britain was employed in the Australian trade from 1852, and then had her engines removed and was converted into a sailing vessel in 1882. Her seagoing life ended in the Falkland Islands in 1886. In 1970 she was brought back to the dock in which she was built, for preservation.
