[Ernest Edwin Abbott.]
[n.d. c.1930.]
Etching. 234 x 191mm. 9¼ x 7½".
Ernest Edwin Abbott (1899-1973) was born in Bideford, Devon. In 1911 he left alone as an ironmonger for Western Australia. In 1913 he married Florence Radcliffe Olde, collar worker, also from Bideford. According to the Electoral Rolls of 1919 and 1924 for Kooyong, Victoria, a subdivision of Kew, he was described as an artist. They finally moved to Melbourne where he later died, three years after his wife. He was mainly self-taught. Abbott was a craftsman so had studios and made his own engraving tools and printed his images on a flat-plate press. He is best known for italglio prints, watercolours and some oils. In 1920 having moved to Melbourne he took a studio in Oxford Chambers, but after about a decade he gave up his city studio to focus on printmaking at his home, particularly dry-point etching. His work focused around Egyptian, Australian and English scenery. Abbott is not known to have exhibited during his lifetime, although a retrospective exhibition was held in 1993.

"The chief and most enterprising firm of booksellers in Holborn proper is that of Mr. and Mrs. Tregaskis, at No. 232, the corner of the New Turnstile. The house itself is full of interest, and is quite a couple of hundred years old. A century ago one of the most eventful scenes of David Garrick's career was enacted here, for it was from this house that the great actor was buried. Mrs. Tregaskis first started, as Mrs. Bennett, at the corner of Southampton Row, and some time after removing to her present shop, married Mr. James Tregaskis, and the two together have built up a business which is scarcely without a rival in London. The shop is literally crammed with rare and interesting books, whilst 'The Caxton Head Catalogues' are got up with every possible care. " - W. Roberts' The Book-Hunter in London.

At a gathering of smartly-dressed black people, a couple walk out onto the dance floor as an orchestra plays on the balcony. One of a series of 'Tregear's Black Jokes', a set of twenty caricatures first published in 1834, the year in which the Slavery Abolition Act came into force. The prints, which were advertised as 'A Series of Laughable Caricatures on the March of Manners amongst Blacks', developed the theme of the earlier 'Life in Philadelphia' caricatures lampooning the social aspirations of Philadelphia's black population. These were first published by Edward William Clay in the United States in the 1820s. The London publisher Gabriel Shire Tregear published copies of the 'Life in Philadelphia' caricatures, then followed it up with 'Tregear's Black Jokes'. After Tregear's death his plates passed to his former shopman Thomas Crump Lewis (1808-81), whose publication line is on this print. The three mentions of Tregear's name on the plate have either been changed to Lewis', or simply effaced.

Sir Thomas Trevor, 1st Baron Trevor PC (1658-1730), was knighted in 1692 as Solicitor General and in 1695 became Attorney-General. In 1701 he was appointed chief justice of the common pleas, and in 1712 he was created a peer as Baron Trevor of Bromham. On the accession of George I in 1714 he was deprived of the justice-ship, but from 1726 to 1730 he was Lord Privy Seal. Three of his sons succeeded in turn to his barony, and a fourth son, Richard Trevor (1707-1771), was bishop of St David's from 1744 to 1752, and then bishop of Durham.

A faithful representation of the trial of her most gracious Majesti [sic] Caroline queen of england, in the house of lords 1820. [French translation to right.]
[Anon., French or Italian, n.d., c.1820.]
Large and extremely scarce lithograph, sheet 525 x 575mm. 20¾ x 22¾". Several fold and handling creases, some reinforced with old backing strips to verso. Some soiling and light staining, generally tatty extremities, with closed tears and filled chip to lower right corner.
Depiction of the 1820 trial for adultery of Queen Caroline of Brunswick (1768 – 1821), wife of George IV. A realistic view of the House of Lords receding in perspective to the Throne, above which is inset an oval bust portrait lettered ‘Bartolomo [sic] Bergami’, wearing four decorations. Members of the House and others assembled around a large table at centre, upon which sits ‘13’, the ‘Green Bag’. Lord Chancellor John Scott, 1st Earl of Eldon presiding in middle ground, at centre; Queen Caroline can be seen seated in foreground to right. Lettered below the image with key, in English and French, identifying numbered figures and points of interest within the composition. This seems to be a Continental copy of a British print. When Caroline of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel (1768 – 1821) arrived at St James's Palace the Prince of Wales came to visit her. After greeting her, he turned to the Earl of Malmesbury saying, 'Harris, I am not well. Pray get me a glass of brandy'. He then left the room. Caroline's comment to Malmesbury was , 'I find him very stout and by no means as handsome as his portrait'. The ill-matched pair were married on 8 April 1795 and it soon became clear that the Prince of Wales would not tolerate his wife's company unless he was drunk. The marriage was consummated and on 7 January 1796 a daughter, Charlotte, was born to the couple. By March, the proud parents were living separately and rarely spoke to each other. George's disastrous marriage to Caroline provided ample material for the caricaturists of the day. George was mocked for preferring his mistresses to his wife; Caroline received more sympathy but was rumoured to have a string of lovers and was easy to portray as a vulgar attention seeker. Tired of her husband's neglect, Caroline left England to tour Europe and in Italy met Bartolomeo Bergami who became her secretary and constant companion. The couple's relationship caused much scandal.
