[University Tower, Bristol.] 81. [This modern tower (1925) of Bristol University is a striking landmark in the city, and fortunately escaped damage in the heavy air-raids of the last war. 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.]

[Portrait of William Upcott] A Collector.
Engraved by T. BRagg from a Drawing by W. Behnes, March 1818.
Engraving on india, very fine impression; platemark 285 x 185mm (11¼ x 7¼").
William Upcott (1779-1845), antiquary and autograph collector and son of the artist Ozias Humphry (1742-1810). Along with his early collecting of prints, coins and trade tokens, Upcott inherited his father's artworks and extensive correspondence. It was the latter which led Upcott towards his primary interest of collecting autographs. Upcott also catalogued the library at the Evelyn family home of Wotton in Surrey (in the course of which he acquired, possibly illegally, a number of items which he later refused to return), and compiled a biographical dictionary of British authors and a bibliography of British topgraphical works (a volume of which he holds in this print). In later years Upcott negotiated with various institutions interested in acquiring his collection (from the British Museum to the Library of Congress) but most of his collection remained with him at his Islington residence 'Autograph Cottage'. After his death the collections were dispersed in three sales: the British Museum purchased his collections relating to British topography, while the Evelyn family repossessed items Upcott had taken from the library. Engraved after a drawing by William Behnes (1791x7-1864), who was second only to Francis Chantrey as England's most prolific and successful portrait sculptor at this time.

Punta dell'Ursa.
M.A.T.W. [Mary Anne Theresa Whitby] Newlands [c.1828].
Rare lithograph. Printed area 105 x 140mm (4 x 5½").
The printmaker, Mary Anne Theresa Whitby (1784-1850), was married to Captain John Whitby, flag captain for Admiral Sir William Cornwallis. They lived on the admiral's estate, Newlands: after John's death in 1806, Mary stayed on, spending much of her time with Cornwallis, who left his estate to her on his death in 1819. Being a keen amateur lithographer, Whitby established a private press at Newlands, but she is better remembered for the first successful sericulture (silk production) to England after three centuries of attempts, presenting twenty yards of damask to Queen Victoria in 1844. She performed genetic experiments on her silkworms for Charles Darwin, who published her results in his 'The Variation of Animals and Plants Under Domestication' (1868).

Ursa Major, or the Old City Bear.
to be hand at the Acorn in the Strand [anon., 1756]
Engraving with hand-colouring, small margins, platemark 200 x 325mm (8 x 12¾"). Slight staining to edges, good overall.
Satire on Sir John Barnard's political misjudgment in opposing the corporation of London's address on the loss of Minorca. The 'Old City Bear' is Barnard, who fights off the Lord Mayor of London, Slingsby Bethel, and his Aldermen on the left, who carry the City Address to the King. The rope around Barnard's jaws is held by the Duke of Newcastle. At Newcastle's feet the British lion sleeps, while a French monkey points a pistol at him. In the background is a view of London showing Bow church with its dragon weathercock (Barnard was Alderman of the City of Bow). Early hand-colouring similar to that on the British Museum's impression of the print.
