A detailed view of the front and side facades of the Siena Cathedral, a medieval church in Siena, Tuscany. The cathedral itself was originally designed and completed between 1215 and 1263 on the site of an earlier structure by Giovanni Pisano, who was able to oversee his work until about 1296 when he abruptly left Siena, reportedly over creative differences with the Opera del Duomo, the group that oversaw the construction and maintenance of the Siena cathedrals. The church has the form of a Latin cross with a slightly projecting transept, a dome and a bell tower. The areas around and above the doors, as well as the columns between the portals, are richly decorated with acanthus scrolls, allegorical figures and biblical scenes, which can be seen in the centre.

Finely hand coloured etching, sheet 260 x 405mm (10¼ x 16"). On paper watermarked '1797.' Trimmed within plate. Some surface dirt. Repaired tears.
Satire on the supposed Jacobin sentiments of the Opposition. The host of the Twelfth Night celebration, Charles James Fox (1749-1806), stands behind a table on which is a large Twelfth-cake decorated with trees of Liberty and crowned by a bonnet-rouge. He and all his guests are inspecting the tickets they have drawn from a bonnet-rouge full of papers which lies on the corner of the table opposite Richard Brinsley Sheridan (1751-1816). Fox delightedly holds out his ticket, 'Perpetual Dictator'. The others are: George Tierney (1761-1830), his ticket 'A Nabob'; then Francis Rawdon Hastings, 1st Marquess of Hastings and 2nd Earl of Moira (1754-1826), 'The Irish Hoaxter'; Francis Russell, 5th Duke of Bedford (1765-1802), seated, 'Collector of Taxes', Charles Howard, 11th Duke of Norfolk (1746-1815), on Fox's right, 'Perpetual Toast Master'; Right Hon Michael Angelo Taylor (1757-1834), very small and wearing a bonnet-rouge, his ticket inscribed 'Go to Roost'; Thomas Erskine, 1st Baron Erskine (1750-1823), on Fox's right, 'Soliciter General'; Sir Francis Burdett, 5th Baronet (1770-1844), 'Keeper of the Prison in Cold Bath Fields', Richard Brinsley Sheridan (1751-1816), seated, 'First Lord of the Treasury', and who is thought to be George Byng (1764-1847) M.P. for Middlesex, looking nearsightedly at 'Bastile Jervise'. On the wall is a placard: 'Rules to be observed at this Meeting 1 That the Cake be decorate with appropriate insignia 2 That the tickets be deposited in a Bonnet Rouge and drawn in Rotation 3 That the Old Fashioned Game of King and Queen be exploded & Catch as Catch can Substituted in its stead.'

A view of Orleans House, a Palladian villa on the Thames in St Margaret's, Twickenham, home to Louis Philippe, Duke of Orleans, between 1813 and 1815. A very large image with coaches and riders. The artist, Louis Marie Baptiste Atthalin (1784-1856), had been an aide-de-camp of Napoleon before taking the same role for Louis Philippe in 1814, after the first exile of Napoleon, at which time he painted this view. Despite rejoining Napoleon for the Hundred Days, Atthalin remained a favourite of the Duke: after becoming king in 1830 Louis Philippe made Atthalin Maréchal de Camp. When Louis Philippe abdicated after the February 1848 Revolution, Atthalin also lost his position, after which he retired from public life.
