Uncle Tom and his Wife for Sale.
Painted by Sir Edwin Landseer engraved by Charles Mottram.
Published by Henry Graves & Compy. Sept 20th. 1860. Printsellers to the Queen__6 Pall Mall. Under: New York Published by M.Knoedler Broadewar Septr 20th 1860 and Entered according to Act of Congress in the Clerk's Office of the District Court of United States of the Southern Districk of New York.
Mixed method engraving, 645 x 810 mm (25½x 31¾") with large margins. Laid on linen. Time staining and nicks to edges of paper.
The painting was shown at the Academy in 1857. Two pug dogs sitting on a step, chained to a doorpost behind, one at right with its tongue out as the other turns towards them, a smoking cigar butt and half-eaten apple discarded in the foreground. "Uncle Tom and his Wife for sale,'' showed that Landseer had occupied some of his time during his trip to the United States in reading a now almost-forgotten United States novel. Landseer was affected by the plight of the North American Slave. "Uncle Tom" is a dog of humble breeding and sturdy constitution; he has been brought to the market for sale, and is chained to his wife, for whom a similar fate is purposed. The best part of the picture was the tearful look of the wife at the dog of her heart. This was a master- piece wherein Sir Edwin often triumphed — the humanizing of animal expression, or rather, the animalization of human expression.

London, Published Sept.r 14 1797 by N. Pocock Ct. George Street Westminster.
Fine aquatint and engraving with large margins. Platemark: 480 x 640mm (18¾ x 25¼").
A dramatic battle scene depicting action between the English frigate 'Unicorn', and the French frigate 'La Tribune', which took place June 8th, 1796 near Waterford. Launched in 1793, 'Tribune' was under the command of Commodore John Moulson (or Moulston), an American who had served in the French Navy for 16 years. On 8th June 1796, 'Tribune' was sailing off the south coast of Ireland, when at daybreak the British frigates 'Unicorn' and 'Santa Margarita' sighted the French vessels and proceeded to chase them. 'Unicorn' eventually pulled alongside and an intense engagement that lasted for 35 minutes ensued, resulting in the capture of 'Tribune'. The victory earned Sir Thomas William, to whom this print is dedicated, a knighthood. In 1847 the Admiralty awarded the remaining survivors of this action the 'Naval General Service Medal'. Details of both ships are below titles with an account of the event from Sir Thomas William to Admiral Kingsmill, from on board the 'Unicorn' dated 1796.

W. Henderson del.t. T. Sutherland sculp.t.
[n.d., c.1820.]
Rare aquatint, printed in blue and brown. Sheet 245 x 375mm (9¾ x 14¾"). Trimmed within plate, tears taped. Central crease.
A view of the remarkable suspension bridge over the River Tweed between Horncliffe in Northumberland and Fishwick, Berwickshire, with an angler in the foreground. When it opened it was the longest wrought iron suspension bridge in the world; it is now the oldest suspension bridge still carrying road traffic. Captain Samuel Brown (1776-1852) championed the Royal Navy's use of chain link cables to replace unreliable hemp ropes in rigging. Leaving the navy he set up a chain-making company which provided the navy with chain until 1916. He also provided chain for Brunel's SS Great Eastern: the famous photograph of Brunel by Robert Howlett includes these chains. In 1817 he took out a patent titled the 'Construction of a Bridge by the Formation and Uniting of its Component Parts'. In 1819 he started building this bridge, with the help of John Rennie on the masonry, finishing in less than a year. In 1823 he built the Chain Pier in Brighton. In 1838 Brown was knighted by Queen Victoria. An unusual example, not finished with hand colour as expected.

The tower is over two hundred feet in height, and contains a 10-ton bell which local patriotism has christened "Great George," in commemoration of the three Georges associated with the University---King George V. who opened the buildings, Sir George Oatley who designed them, and Sir George Wills who, with his brother, defrayed the cost of the tower and other parts of the building as a memorial to their father, who was the first Chancellor of the University. The Wills family are the founders and owners of the great tobacco industry of Bristol (W.D. and H.O. Wills), and for this reason the tower is sometimes irreverently named Smoke Tower.]
