Storm Signals Hoisted at the Coast Guard Stations...
H. Carlisle Lith.
Liverpool Published by Hugh Seddon, 10 Wapping. [n.d., c.1861.]
Steel engraved card. Sheet 90 x 125mm (3½ x 5"). With letterpress explanation. Some surface soiling.
A scarce & interesting item showing a system of warning signals consisting of cones and cylinders hoisted up flagpoles in ports, devised by Vice-Admiral Robert FitzRoy (1805-65), best known as the captain of HMS Beagle during Charles Darwin's famous voyage in 1831-36. He was also governor of New Zealand 1843-8 and from 1854 was 'Meteorological Statist to the Board of Trade', head of what became the Meteorological Office. His mission was to stop the loss of shipping to storms, by 'forecasting the weather', an expression he coined himself. He ordered the distribution of barometers to small fishing communities in 1859 and the following year introduced this storm signal system, keeping fleets in port when the signals were up. The publisher of both card and text, Hugh Seddon, describes himself in the text as a flag maker.

The Beauties of Stow were engraved by George Bickham [1706?-1771] from drawings by the Frenchman Jean-Baptiste-Claude Chatelain [1710-1771]. Stowe was one of the most famous gardens in England, boasting designs by some of the most celebrated English gardeners. Charles Bridgeman, Richard Kent, and Capability Brown all had a hand in designing the garden. The 1753 edition of Bickham’s prints were reissued in several editions throughout the second half of the eighteenth century, so it is difficult to identify the precise date.

A pleasure cruise or ferryboat on the lake at Stowe House, Buckinghamshire, with three smaller rowing boats surrounding. A fountain in the background, the park with the house in the distance on the left shore. Stowe was begun by Sir Richard Temple in 1676, his family having risen from sheep farmers under Elizabeth I. Over the next century, Viscount Cobham and then Earl Temple (Cobham's Grenville nephew) rebuilt it into the great classical show house and landscape which still amazes visitors today. Numerous famous architects worked at Stowe House and Gardens. Among them were Sir John Vanbrugh, William Kent, James Gibbs, Robert Adam, Thomas Pitt and Sir John Soane, making Stowe one of the most important houses and estates in the country. The house is now part of Stowe School, founded in 1923.

[Trial of Thomas Wentworth, Earl of Strafford] Abbildung der Session des Parlaments zu Londen uber den Sentenz des Grafen von Stafford.
W Hollar fecit [c.1641].
Etching. 260 x 280mm (6¼ x 11"). Slight creasing.
The trial of Thomas Wentworth, Earl of Strafford (1593-1641), lord lieutenant of Ireland. In the deteriorating political climate leading up to the English Civil War, Strafford was recalled to London by Charles I (whose great supporter he was) in 1640, but was accused of high treason and imprisoned in the Tower of London shortly after. Strafford was tried in March 1641 (the detailed trial scene here labels the prominent figures present) and demonstrated his great skill as an orator by refuting most of the charges against him (mostly relating to his conduct in Ireland). When these failed, the Commons passed a bill of attainder (an act of legislation declaring Strafford guilty and punishable by death). Charles I, who had previously sworn to protect Strafford, both appeared in person to ask for him not to be condemned to death, and sent soldiers to the Tower in an unsuccessful attempt to free him. Eventually Charles assented to the bill of attainder and Strafford was beheaded at Tower Hill (he was spared the traditional punishment for treason, of being hung, drawn and quartered). The death of Strafford, rather than resolving the tension between parliament and the monarchy, merely aggravated it, as the king could not forgive those who had forced him to abandon one of his most trusted aides. Etching by Wenceslaus Hollar (1607-77). Born in Bohemia, Hollar spent around 32 of his 52 years as a professional artist working in England. An outstanding draughtsman and topographical etcher, Hollar's enormously varied work has done much to inform the way that seventeenth century London is visualised.
