Scarce tinted lithograph. Printed area 360 x 450mm, very large margins. Creasing.
An early design for what became the Grand Hotel, by the same architect Cuthbert Broderick (1821-1905), lacking the four distinctive turrets in the corners. A pencil note, 'received by Post from Mr Theakston 20 June 1862', suggests it was printed the year before construction began. However it imagines the hotel complete, with promenaders, riders and swimming huts on the beach By the time the building was completed in 1867 it had cost £100,000 and was the largest brick building and the largest hotel in Europe.

Day & Son, Lith.rs to the Queen.
[n.d., c.1862.]
Scarce tinted lithograph. Printed area 360 x 450mm, very large margins. Creasing.
An early design for what became the Grand Hotel, by the same architect Cuthbert Broderick (1821-1905), lacking the four distinctive turrets in the corners. A pencil note, 'received by Post from Mr Theakston 20 June 1862', suggests it was printed the year before construction began. However it imagines the hotel complete, with promenaders, riders and swimming huts on the beach By the time the building was completed in 1867 it had cost £100,000 and was the largest brick building and the largest hotel in Europe.

Scarcity in India [&] British Plenty.
Painted by H. Singleton. Engraved by C: Knight.
Pub.d Jan.y 1st 1794 by C. Knight, Stoke, Bucks, & Random Stainbank & Sayer, 17 Old Bond Street, London.
Pair of stipple engravings with hand colour. Each c. 600 x 455mm (23½ x 18"), with large margins. 'Scarcity' with surface wear in inscription area and margins. 'Plenty' with worming in inscription area and some wear in margins.
A rare pair of scenes after Henry Singleton (1766-1839) which contrast British wealth with food shortages in India at a time of famine in Bengal between 1769-1770. 'British Plenty' shows a single seaman between two women who, although they appear to be selling the man vegetables, are marked as prostitutes by their fine dresses. In contrast, 'Scarcity in India' depicts two young Englishmen offering cheap trinkets to a young Indian girl outside an impoverished village.

Samuel Scott, the unfortunate American Diver.
[n.d., c.1841.]
Rare lithograph. Sheet 260 x 200mm (10¼ x 8"). Some slight surface soiling.
A portrait of Samuel Gilbert "Sam" Scott (c. 1813-41), an American daredevil, printed shortly after his deadly fall from Waterloo Bridge. Born in Philadelphia, Scott served in the U.S. Navy where he became well known for jumping off the masts of ships. This led to a career as a stuntman and daredevil, travelling the U.S. and Canada performing his death-defying leaps, including a purported 593-foot jump from Niagara Falls. On January 11, 1841, Scott planned to run from the White Lion Pub in Drury Lane to Waterloo Bridge, jump from a scaffold on the bridge into the river, and return to the pub during the hour between 1:00 and 2:00 P.M. As per previous bridge jumps, a rope attached to the scaffold allowed Scott to swing away from the bridge before diving. But on this jump, the rope wrapped around Scott's neck. The spectators erroneously thought that this was part of Scott's act, no immediate action was taken and Scott inadvertently hung himself. OCLC cites but one extant example in North Americana collections. A recorded example at the Wellcome Library includes a Day & Son stamp on verso of a mount.
