J.S. Prout [signed on stone.]
[Hobart, Tasmania: J.S. Prout, 1844.]
Rare sepia-tinted lithograph heightened in white, sheet 265 x 400mm. 10½ x 15¾". Trimmed to image.
Plate to the rare folio 'Tasmania Illustrated' by John Skinner Prout (1805 - 1876); the artist seated, sketching amongst the trees, his portfolio and hat in foreground. Published in two parts, the first with titlepage and twelve views on eleven plates, with six plates forming the second part. The nephew of the artist Samuel Prout, Prout was born in Plymouth in 1806. He travelled to Australia in the late 1830s and arrived in New South Wales in 1840. In 1844 Prout and his family moved to Hobart, the capital of Tasmania. On 14 June he announced a course of lectures 'on the cultivation of the fine arts, with practical illustrations'. They were well received and later in the year he published the first volume of Tasmania Illustrated, 'five grouped vignettes of Tasmanian scenes'. By the time the second volume appeared in 1846 Prout had toured the North of the island, where he was 'engaged by several gentlemen for the purpose of sketching their country seats, farms, and the country surrounding them'. He returned to England in 1848 and began exhibiting many of his Australian works in London.
The original watercolour can be found in the National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne.

Hand-coloured aquatint. Plate: 240 x 270mm (9½ x 10½") large margins.
A view of the central yard at Tattersall's auction house which sold horses and carriages. In the background several carriages are lined up, in the foreground a group of men are lined up inspecting a horse brought before them. A plate from Ackermann's 'Microcosm of London' (1808-9), a landmark publication in the documentation of London, bringing together two specialist artists, Thomas Rowlandson to design the figures and Augustus Pugin to provide the architectural draughtsmanship. The result was a series of scenes unprecedented in their combination of vivid activity and architectual accuracy.

Hand coloured aquatint, 235 x 270mm. 9¼ x 10½".
A horse is inspected by prospective buyers as it goes under the hammer at Tattersalls, to this day the main auctioneer of race horses in the United Kingdom. It was founded in 1766 by Richard Tattersall (1724 - 1795), who had been stud groom to the second Duke of Kingston. The first premises occupied were near Hyde Park Corner, in what was then the outskirts of London. Two "Subscription rooms" were reserved for members of the Jockey Club, and they became the rendezvous for sporting and betting men. Among the famous dispersal sales conducted by "Old Tatt" were those of the Duke of Kingston's stud in 1774 and of the stud of the Prince of Wales (afterwards George IV) in 1786. Plate to Volume III of Rudolph Ackermann's 'Microcosm of London', 3 vols., 1808-10. Numbered 'Plate 83.' upper right.

Mr. Thomas Tayler, Twenty Two Years Master Of Lloyds Coffee House. Died 6th. June 1796, aged 50.

Thomas Tayler [1746 - 1796], Master of Lloyd's Coffee House. The coffee house that Edward Lloyd opened in 1687 near the Thames on Tower Street was a favourite haunt of men from the ships that moored at London's docks. The house was 'spacious, well built and inhabited by able tradesmen' according to a contemporary publication. It grew so popular that in 1691 Lloyd moved it to much larger and more luxurious quarters on Lombard Street. Nat Ward, a publican whom Alexander Pope accused of trading vile rhymes for tobacco, reported that the tables in the new house were 'very neat and shined with rubbing.' A staff of five served tea and sherbet as well as coffee. Lloyd's coffee house served from the start as the headquarters for marine underwriters, in large part because of its excellent mercantile and shipping connections. In 1771 seventy-nine of the underwriters who did business at Lloyd's subscribed £100 each and joined together in the Society of Lloyd's, an unincorporated group of individual entrepreneurs operating under a self-regulated code of behavior. These were the original Members of Lloyd's; later, members came to be known as 'Names.' The Names committed all their worldly possessions and all their financial capital to secure their promise to make good on their customers' losses. That commitment was one of the principal reasons for the rapid growth of business underwritten at Lloyd's over the years. In 1774 the 'Subscribers to Lloyd's' occupied new premises at the Royal Exchange at Cornhill. By the turn of the century the traditional club of marine underwriters had become an international market for insurance risks of almost every type. Lloyd's pre-eminence as a world centre for insurance had been established.
