W.L. Wyllie [pencil signature.]
[n.d. c.1920.]
Etching with pencil signature. Plate 228 x 355mm. 9 x 14". Slight repair platemark top right.
A view along the River Thames, looking through the mist towards St Paul's Cathedral. William L. Wyllie (1851-1931) was born on July 5th 1851, in London. He attended Heatherley's art school until the age of fifteen, leaving to study at the Royal Academy Schools, where he won the Turner Medal at the age of eighteen. In the early 1870's Wyllie became an illustrator for the Graphic and also held several exhibitions at the galleries of the Fine Art Society. In 1889 he was elected an associate of the Royal Academy, where he exhibited his work in 1901. Wyllie spent much of his time at sea working for the White Star Shipping Line. He also served in the Royal Navy during WWI, painting seascapes and coastal landscapes. His etchings and watercolours showing working life on the Thames and the Medway brought him widespread popularity. Later in his life he played an important role in the restoration of the Victory. Wyllie died on the 6th April 1931 in Hampstead, and scouts from the 1st Portchester Sea Scout Troop, which he had founded, rowed his coffin across Portsmouth Harbour for his burial at Portchester Castle.

Their Majesties Procession in St Pauls, Ap.l 23d 1789. Engraved for the Lady's Magazine.
Prattent sculp
Pub.d as the Act Directs by G. Robinson & Co.
Engraving, sheet 245 x 175mm (9½ x 7"). Creased as normal.
Thanksgiving service held at St Paul's Cathedral on 23 April 1789 to mark the recovery of George III from illness. The king had been seriously ill before, in 1765, and the onset of severe illness late in 1788 led to a mad-doctor, Dr Francis Willis, being brought in (his implements included a strait-jacket and a restraining chair). The political implications were dramatic, with the prospect of the Prince of Wales becoming regent and imposing radical changes to government, but on 17 February 1789, three days before the Regency Bill was due to take effect, it was announced that the king was convalescent.

Claude le Lorrain delin.t. R. Earlom fecit.

Mezzotint with etched lines, printed in sepia. 210 x 260mm, 8½ x 10¼". Uncut, with large margins, slight soiling of margins.
St Peter being delivered from Herod's prison by an angel. Engraved by Richard Earlom (1743 - 1822) after a sketch in the copy of Claude le Lorrain's 'Liber Veritatis' owned by the Duke of Devonshire at Chatsworth. Claude (c.1600-82) was a prolific and successful landscape painter, and, even during his lifetime, forgeries of his work appeared for sale. To combat this Claude made up six albums of tinted sketches of his completed works, each sketch with the name of the purchaser of the painting on the back. The 'Liber Veritatis' (Book of Truth) was then distributed around Europe so that his genuine paintings could be authenticated. The Chatsworth copy of the 'Liber Veritatis' contained 200 drawings, including a frontispiece portrait of Claude and five unrelated drawings. Commissioned by John Boydell, Richard Earlom engraved the full set between 1774 and 1777, when they were published by Boydell in two volumes, each containing 100 prints, numbered 1-200. A third volume of 100 prints was published by Boydell in 1819, which was numbered separately, containing mezzotints by Earlom after other drawings by Claude in various collections.

Henry Aston Barker's Panorama, Leicester-Square. View of the City of St. Petersburgh, Taken on the Tower of the Observatory. The Battle of Waterloo is in the Lower Circle. Open from Ten until Dusk. Admission to each Painting One Shilling.
1817. J. Adlard, Printer, 23, Bartholomew-Close, West Smithfield.
Wood engraved broadside with letterpress. Sheet 280 x 270mm (11 x 10½"). Some wear. Creases & foxed.
A circular wood engraving with a 25-point list of important landmarks, the key to a painted panorama of St Petersburg exhibited at the 'Panorama', the first building to be erected for the purpose of displaying panoramas. It is likely that the view was painted by either Barker (1774-1856) himself or John Burford (fl.1812 - 1850). He went to Paris to research for a panorama of the Battle of Waterloo (on display at the same time as St Petersburg') and his sketches were issued as a set of eight etchings by John Burnett. During his lifetime Barker's celebrity opened doors: he met Sir William Hamilton and Admiral Nelson in Naples, and Napoleon Bonaparte on Elba. He married Admiral William Bligh's eldest daughter in 1802.
