William L. Wyllie [pencil signature.]
[n.d. c.1920.]
Etching, signed in pencil. Plate 165 x 381mm. 6½ x 15".
A steam tug towing a tall-ship into the Grand Harbour, Valetta, Malta. William L. Wyllie (1851-1931) was born on July 5th 1851, in London. He attended Heatherley’s art school until the age of fifteen, leaving to study at the Royal Academy Schools, where he won the Turner Medal at the age of eighteen. In the early 1870’s Wyllie became an illustrator for the Graphic and also held several exhibitions at the galleries of the Fine Art Society. In 1889 he was elected an associate of the Royal Academy, where he exhibited his work in 1901. Wyllie spent much of his time at sea working for the White Star Shipping Line. He also served in the Royal Navy during WWI, painting seascapes and coastal landscapes. His etchings and watercolours showing working life on the Thames and the Medway brought him widespread popularity. Later in his life he played an important role in the restoration of the Victory. Wyllie died on the 6th April 1931 in Hampstead, and scouts from the 1st Portchester Sea Scout Troop, which he had founded, rowed his coffin across Portsmouth Harbour for his burial at Portchester Castle.

Jan de Visscher Sculpsit
[n.d., c.1666]
Engraving, sheet 490 x 340mm (19¼ x 13¼"). Trimmed inside platemark; fold through centre. Small tear on right edge.
Abraham van der Hulst (1619 - 1666), Dutch admiral. Van der Hulst captained the 'Groningen' ship during the First Anglo-Dutch War (1652-4) and subsequently blockaded Portugal in the later stages of the Dutch-Portuguese war (1601-61). He then returned to action against the English in the Second Anglo-Dutch War (1665-7). He fought in the Battle of Lowestoft, a heavy defeat for the Dutch in which van der Hulst's conduct saw him promoted to admiral. He was second-in-command to Cornelis Tromp in the 'Four Days Battle' (11 June to 14 June) off the Isle of Thanet, which remains one of the longest naval engagements in history. Van der Hulst commanded the ship the 'Spiegel' and was shot in the chest by a bullet and died on June 12th. This print commemorates his participation in the battle, which can be seen taking place in the background. Van der Hulst was buried in the Oude Kerk in Amsterdam, where a marble tomb by Artus de With was erected in his memory.

Etching, platemark 140 x 95mm (5½ x 3¾"). Small margins; on thin cream tissue; glued to backing sheet at corners and tipped into album sheet.
Dramatic portrait of Anthony van Dyck, probably copied from Vorsterman's in the 'Icones Principum Virorum' of c.1630-45. That print itself purported to be after a self-portrait by van Dyck, but the grisaille on which it is based (now kept in the collection of the Duke of Buccleuch, Boughton House) is of uncertain attribution. Lifetime impression of this print.
State ii/iii; W50; D222; Ex collection of the Late Hon. C. Lennox-Boyd.
