L. Hess sc.
[German.] [n.d. c.1810.]
Engraving with large margins. Plate 140 x 89mm (5½ x 3½").
Amerigo Vespucci (1454-1512) the Italian merchant, explorer and cartographer. His two voyages to the east coast of South America between 1499 and 1502 led him to postulate that the Americas were a new landmass, not the East Indies as Columbus believed. The Americas are generally believed to have derived their name from the feminised Latin version of his first name. The portrait was published in 'Allgemeine Geographische Ephemeriden' (Universal Geographical Ephemerides (i.e. encyclopedia) by Friedrich Bertuch et al.

Six vestal virgins prepare an offering before a statue of Vesta, goddess of fire.

Engraved after Jean Raoux (1677-1734), French painter of fancy pictures, by the Dutch engraver P.H. Jonxis (1757-1843), who worked in Utrecht and Paris.

Rare etching. sheet 165 x 110mm (6½ x 4¼"). Lacking upper margin; the rest very thin.
A slender man in profile delicately standing on tip-toe in the attitude of a dancing-master. His elbows are held out, he holds his hat. He is dressed like the Frenchman of caricature, with a high toupee wig. This seems to be a caricature of ballet dancer and dancing master Gaetano Apoline Balthazar Vestris (1729 - 1808); or possibly Mr. Fitzgerald. Charles Bretherton (c.1760 fl - 1783) was an engraver, etcher, watercolourist and publisher in London. He was the younger brother of James Bretherton, hence often signs as Bretherton junior.

Letterpress handbill. Sheet 340 x 205mm (13½ x 8"). A few small tears.
A hand bill for a show at Hull's Botanic Garden, with an exhibition of George Danson's immense protean view of the Eruption of Vesuvius: under normal light the painting showed a daytime view of the Bay of Naples but, at the appointed time, back-lighting changed the scene to night, with lava spewing into the air, accompanied by fireworks. George Danson (1799-1881) specialised in panoramas exhibited outside in pleasure gardens, usually first shown at Royal Surrey Zoological Gardens, Walworth. This ‘Vast Panorama Al Fresco of Mount Vesuvius’ (first exhibited 1837) was admired by J.M.W. Turner. The 'Southby' mentioned here is J. Southby (d.1865), a self-created ‘Chevalier’, who was the pyrotechnist. Southby created the firework display for the coronation of Queen Victoria in Hyde Park in 1838.
