[Nathaniel St André] Major G*****n & Lady Landing at Southampton in Cripples Walk. 4
[by William Austin]
Pubd as ye Act Directs May 1st 1773.
Etching, J. Whatman watermark. 270 x 400mm (10½ x 15¾"), with large margins.
An elderly man with a gouty leg walks on crutches, followed by his tall wife with a witch-like face with hooked nose and protruding bearded chin. Among the other figures that walk along the sea front is a man marked 'The Rabbit Doctor St A-', with a rabbit under his arm. This is a caricature of Nathaniel St André (c.1680-1776), a Swiss surgeon who was appointed as surgeon and anatomist to the royal household by George I in 1723. However, in 1726 he supported the claim of Mary Toft that she had given birth to fourteen rabbits, even publishing an account. When she admitted the deception St André lost his Royal salary. Later one of his patients died and he married his widow the same day. The pair moved to Southampton in 1750. From a set of twelve prints by William Austin (1721/33-1820), drawing-master and engraver. Austin taught caricature to amateurs and this series, which mocked several well-known personages (as did its dedicatee, the actor Samuel Foote) contains some of the most lively English caricatures of the period between Hogarth and the late Georgian satire of Gillray and Rowlandson.

The Town of St Andrews.
Drawn on the Spot by I. Clark.
London, Published by Smith, Elder & Co. 65 Cornhill, 1824.
Aquatint, 510 x 665mm. 20 x 26¼". Slight mount burn.
The Royal Burgh of St Andrews, from the "Views in Scotland" series. The town is shown from the south-east, with the tower of Holy Trinity on the left, St Rule's Tower and the ruins of St. Andrews Cathedral, with the coast on the right. Although it cannot be proved it is believed that 'I. Clark" is the Scottish painter John Heaviside Clark, famed as 'Waterloo Clark' for his early sketches of the Battle. He was also skilled in aquatinting, and certainly none of this series has a named engraver. Uncoloured examples of this series are rare, suggesting this is an early impression, possibly a proof.

Published by R. Ackermann, 101, Strand, Jany. 28th. 1825.
Engraving, outline proof with open letters, 505 x 330mm.
View of St Brides Avenue as seen from Fleet street, with figures and adjacent shop fronts, including the premises of Pitman and Ashfield to the left. John Buonarroti Papworth (1775 - 1847), architect and designer, was a thorough master of drawing perspective and classic ornament. Many of his architectural designs were exhibited at the Royal Academy yearly from 1794 to 1799. For the premises of Rudolf Ackermann, the publisher of this engraving, to whose ‘Repository of Arts and Essays' from 1809 to 1823 he was a frequent contributor of prose and verse and of drawings, he designed a hall or reception-room, intended as a lounge for customers. In 1826 he worked on the extensive building, No. 96 Strand, at the corner of Beaufort Buildings, now occupied by Rimmel the perfumer. His most important architectural work in London is here represented - St. Bride's Avenue, Fleet Street. This provided a clear view and a good access for the magnificent steeple of St. Bride's Church, previously screened from Fleet Street by a row of houses. This vision of how the new street might look is intended to encourage subscriptions for the project. The details of where subscriptions were received are provided to the left and right of the caption below the image.

Copy of Hogarth's satire on William Kent's altarpiece at St Clement Danes; a group of five angels playing musical instruments; the dove of the Holy Ghost above, surrounded by seven heads of putti. William Kent's altarpiece was much criticised for Roman Catholic overtones, and was said to include a depiction of Princess Maria Clementina Sobieska, wife of the Old Pretender; in 1725 the Bishop of London ordered it to be removed. Like Hogarth's original print of 1725 it is printed on blue paper but is distinguished by more uniform text below the image (including a modern 's' at the end of the final 'Wings') and other small differences.

Photographs to accompany the papers relating to the Crimean Testimonial, dated August 26, 1862.
Four rare photographs in card booklet with title and list of photos. Largest photograph 230 x 185mm (9 x 7¼"). Some wear.
A full set of photographs issued to soldiers of the Royal Artillery to raise money for the Crimean Memorial Windows in St George's Garrison Church, Woolwich. The photos are the new obelisk dedicated to the fallen of the Crimean War, a sketch of the proposed interior and two sketches of proposed stain glass windows. A contemporary source noted that 'as the expense of supplying photographs to every subscriber would be very considerable, a limited number only has been struck off, which will be sent to Stations, at which subscribers will have the opportunity of seeing them'. St George's Garrison Church was destroyed by a V1 in 1944. Even as a ruin the building was listed in 1973 for its architectural merits, especially its polychromatic Victorian brick, and a canopy roof has been build over the top.
