A very rare engraving. Sheet 207 x 134mm. 8¼" x 5¼". Cut.
From the title page to 'Relation D'Un Voyage fait au Levant' - The travels of Monsieur de Thevenot into the Levant. Jean de Thévenot (June 16, 1633 – November 28, 1667) was a French traveller in the East, who wrote extensively about his journeys. He was also a linguist, natural scientist and botanist. He was born in Paris and received his education in the Collège de Navarre.

"They Won't be Happy Till They Get 'Em."
[Etched by Frank Paton.] G.Yates Carrington /88
[London, Published May 17th 1889 by E.E.Leggatt, 62 Cheapside, E.C.]
Rare etching. 285 x 355mm (11¼ x 14"). Various repaired tears not in the cricket image.
The central image of two terriers either side of a guinea pig's hutch is surrounded by nine vignette scenes. One of these is a cricket match, a scoreboard inscribed with the scores of the opening batsmen: 302 and 189 runs for numbers 1 and 2 respectively. Frank Paton (1856 - 1909) was a successful artist during his lifetime and could even count Queen Victoria as an admirer of his work. He is perhaps most widely known for his series of etched Christmas cards published annually by Edward Ernest Leggatt from 1880 until Paton's death in 1909. They were intended to be a cut above the average Christmas card and sold for half a guinea each. Their format became quite formulaic over the years. A central subject reflecting the title of the print was usually complemented by a series of often humorous sketches around its border. A number of the prints would be sent from the printers to be signed in pencil by Paton, as here. A cricketing item.

[Isaac Cruikshank].

Etching with hand colour 320 x 415mm (12½ x 16¼"), with small margins. Hinged inside mount at top. A crease down the middle where previously folded.
A satire on the third marriage of the irish peer and politician John Hamilton, 1st Marquess of Abercorn (1756 –1818) , on 3rd April 1800, to Lady Anne Jane Gorn (Hatton)(1763–1827). A horned Abercorn puts the ring on the finger of Anne who turns aside to point up at a high alcove, serving as an altar, in which are the torso of a grinning satyr and two goats. A woman in a veiled shroud stands behind her presumably the ghost of the first wife of Abercorn, Catherine Copley who died 13th September 1791. Behind Abercorn stand three crying women who are most likely his daughters from his first marriage: Harriet, Maria and Catherine Hamilton. BM 9576
