[Image slip:] Tomb of the Lady Ann Grimston in the Churchyard of Tewin, Herts. [Letterpress:] The Tomb of Lady Anne Grimston, in the Churchyard of Tewin, in Hertfordshire. Dispalys one the most extraordinary and romantic of those freaks in which it is proverbial that Dame Nature delights. The masonry of the tomb - once firmly set, and bound with iron pins together...however unusual, we are content to regard as beautiful illustrations of natural laws. The following inscription is still legible on the tomb: Here lyeth interred the Body of the Right Honourable Lady Anne Grimston, Wife to Sir Grimston, Bart. of Gorhambury, in Hertfordshire, Daughter to the late Right Honourable Earl of Thanet, Who departed this life Nov.22nd, 1713, In the 60th year of her age.

Tomb of Lady Anne Grimston, St Peter's Church, Tewin, Hertfordshire. Legend has it that Lady Anne Grimston was to say the least a staunch atheist, the story goes that on her death bed she refused to allow the Vicar to administer the last rites. She went on to say that should God and the teachings of the Bible be true then seven trees would sprout from her grave, and so they did.

Thalestris, Queen of the Amazons. From a curious and valuable Antique.
J. Chapman Sculpsit.
London published as the Act directs Mar:10, 1797 by J. Wilkes.
Stipple with etching printed in colour, 160 x 110mm. 6¼ x 4¼". Foxed.
The Amazons are a nation of all-female warriors in Classical and Greek mythology. Herodotus placed them in a region bordering Scythia in Sarmatia. Other historiographers place them in Asia Minor or Libya. According to the mythological Greek Alexander Romance, Queen Thalestris of the Amazons brought 300 women to Alexander the Great, hoping to breed a race of children as strong and intelligent as he. According to the legend, she stayed with the Macedonian king for 13 days and nights in the hope that the great warrior would father a daughter by her. However, several of Alexander's biographers dispute the claim, including the highly regarded secondary source, Plutarch.

A portrait of 'Tahmas Kuli Khan', more commonly known as Nader Shah (1688 - 1688), in a decorative border including a shepherd and an angel. Nader ruled as Shah of Iran (1736–47) and was the founder of the Afsharid dynasty. Because of his military genius, some historians have described him as the Napoleon of Persia or the Second Alexander. He was a member of the Turkic Afshar tribe of northern Persia, which had supplied military power to the Safavid state. Nader rose to power during a period of anarchy in Iran, and reunited the Persian realm. He became so powerful that he decided to depose the last members of the Safavid dynasty, which had ruled Iran for over 200 years, and become shah himself in 1736. His victories briefly made him the Middle East's most powerful sovereign, but his empire quickly disintegrated after he was assassinated in 1747. Nader Shah has been described as "the last great Asian military conqueror". and he is credited for restoring Iranian power.

Robert Gallon (1845 - 1925) was a landscape painter who lived in London. He travelled extensively throughout the British Isles to paint his subjects.

Gallon actively exhibited during the years 1868 - 1903 at the principal London Galleries, particularly the Royal Academy and the Royal Society of British Artists.
