Printed & Published 1838, at Friedel's litho. Estab.t 252, Tottenham Court Road, London.
Lithograph. Printed area 300 x 210mm (11¾ x 8¼"), with large margins.
A Dutchman in rustic dress, sitting in a window, glancing over his shoulder while raising a tankard. Adriaen van Ostade (1610-85). Adam Friedel (1780- death date unknown) was a Danish artist, printmaker and publisher who, after serving in the Napoleonic wars, voluntarily joined the Greek army at the start of the Greek War of Independence, fashioning himself as Danish nobility. He was exposed by a real noble who proved his backstory to be a lie. After spending a year in Egypt he took refuge in London in 1824 where he opened a lithographer's shop. Between 1825 and 1826 Friedel printed and published, both in Paris and London, twenty-four lithographs with portraits of politicians and prominent military figures of the Greek War of Independence. He had drawn the portraits himself, in most cases from nature, while J. Bouvier coloured and lithographed these images. The series was a success and he was awarded for his contributions to the Greek Struggle for Independence with two decorations. For health reasons he travelled around a lot. He travelled to Smyrna and taught at a Greek school. He stayed at the Ottoman Capital during the Crimean War and painted several portraits of various politicians. In 1865 he asked for a pension for his services to Greece however little is known about what happened to him after that and his place and date of death is unknown.

Before news had reached France reinforcements were sent out from Brest, but this time the Royal Navy was ready for them. The French were chased north and scattered to be picked off by the superior British fleet. The French frigate 'La Loire' had managed to escape from HMS Mermaid despite severe damage, but came up against HMS Kangaroo, which closed on the unprotected stern of Loire, raking the immobile French ship, as shown here. After her capture the Royal Navy recommissioned her as HMS Loire.

[Tothill Fields]
[Abraham Aubry after Wenceslaus Hollar, c.1644]
Etching, sheet 90 x 165mm (3½ x 6½"). Trimmed to image and glued to backing sheet.
View across Tothill Fields towards Westminster Abbey (marked 'S. Peter in westminster'), with Parliament buildings to the right and the old St. Paul's Cathedral (destroyed by the 1666 fire) in background. Copy by Abraham Aubry of an etching by Wenceslaus Hollar (1607-77), whose etching was originally issued as part of a set of four English views (the other three were of central London and Windsor). Born in Bohemia, Hollar spent around 32 of his 52 years as a professional artist working in England. An outstanding draughtsman and topographical etcher, Hollar's work was enormously varied and has done much to inform the way that 17th century London is visualised.
