The Tables Turned or The Lie circumstantial.
Pub.d by T. Taplain Upper Thames St London
Etching with hand-colouring, sheet 240 x 350mm (9½ x 13¾"). Trimmed inside platemark; tear on left.
Duel between Charles Vane, third marquess of Londonderry (1778-1854) and Ensign Battier. Battier's pistol misfired and he declined the offer of another shot and left. He was later horsewhipped by Londonderry's second, Sir Henry Hardinge. In this image Londonderry (far left) nonchalantly awaits the second shot from Battier, which Hardinge (centre, in brown coat) invites. Battier, next to Hardinge, drops his pistol rather than taking the shot, to the disbelief of his second Lt.-Col. Weston (right). A surgeon in the background observes 'I see they will not want me'.

The Tablet of Cebes.
[n.d., c. 1830.]
Ink mss. with watercolour wash, sheet 230 x 145mm. 9 x 5¾". Tear and chip to top edge.
Manuscript diagram to explain the philosophies of Cebes of Thebes, a disciple of Socrates and Philolaus. He is one of the speakers in the Phaedo of Plato, in which he is represented as an earnest seeker after virtue and truth, keen in argument and cautious in decision. Three dialogues, the Hebdome, the Phrynichus and the Pinax or Tabula, are attributed to him. The two former are lost, and most scholars deny the authenticity of the Tabula on the ground of material and verbal anachronisms. The Tablet of Cebes professes to be an interpretation of an allegorical picture in the temple of Cronus at Athens or Thebes. The author develops the Platonic theory of pre-existence, and shows that true education consists not in mere erudition, but rather in the formation of character. Parallels are often drawn between this work and John Bunyan's The Pilgrim's Progress.

The Madonna, the Infant Christ and St. John, From an unfinished Basso relievo in Marble by Michelangelo Buonaroti. Done by him about the Year 1503 for Taddeo Taddei [...]
Michael Angelo [...] F. Bartolozzi R.A.
London Pub.d as the Act directs Jan. 1 1795 by A. Molteno Printseller to her Royal Highness the Duchess of York No. 76 St. James's Street
Soft-ground etching, rare, platemark 355 x 300mm (14 x 11¾"), with very large margins. Creases top right in margin.
Etching of Michelangelo's Taddei Tondo, which since 1830 was been in the collection of the Royal Academy of Arts, London. The text below the image claims that the print was made by the celebrated Italian printmaker (and founding member of the Royal Academy) Francesco Bartolozzi and published in 1795, but this cannot be true, as the tondo was not acquired by George Beaumont until 1822. After Beaumont died in 1827, the print was briefly in possession of Lady Beaumont (who is named as the owner of the tondo on this print) before it waas received by the RA in 1830. During this time an etching of the tondo after a drawing by William Young Ottley was made by F.C. Lewis and published in London by W.B. Tiffin in 1828. This print would appear to be an altered impression of that plate, with the publisher (potentially Molteno, who was active until 1845) backdating the print and attributing the print to Bartolozzi, dead by this time but one of the foremost eighteenth century engravers, in a bid to increase demand for the print. In a recent book about the tondo, Alison Cole described the source drawing by Ottley as follows: 'the drawing sensitively attempts to amend the 'unfinished' nature of the tondo, in much the same way as plaster casts of the period tend to do, focusing on making sense of the shadowy figure of St John and the 'dove' and further delineating the exquisite features of the Virgin. Ottley probably drew the tondo soon after the purchase was made [by George Beaumont] (c.1822)'.

An attack on a British warship, HMS Dolphin, by Tahitians in canoes. Samuel Wallis (1728 - 1795) sailed from Plymouth on 22 August with the Swallow sloop, commanded by Philip Carteret. The two ships passed through the Straits of Magellan and came into the Pacific on 12 April 1767; they then separated. Wallis opened out a part of the ocean till then unknown, and first brought to European knowledge the numerous islands of the Low Archipelago and of the Society Islands, including Tahiti, which he called King George the Third's Island. Thence he made for Tinian, which he reached on 19 August, having discovered many new islands on the way. After staying a month at Tinian, he went to Batavia, and thence home by the Cape of Good Hope. Originally for John Hawkesworth's 'Account of the voyages undertaken by the order of His present Majesty for making discoveries in the southern hemisphere'. Wallis's account of his voyage, first printed in Hawkesworth (1733), was repeated in Hamilton Moore's ‘Collection of Voyages’ (1785), in Robert Wilson's ‘Voyages’ (1806), in Kerr's ‘General History of Voyages’ (1814), and in Joachim Heinrich Campe's collection (Brunswick, 1831).
