Denon [facsimile signature].
Engraved by Thomson, from a Drawing by Isabey.
Published by Fisher, Son & Co. Caxton, London, 1825.
Stipple, platemark 220 x 135mm (8½ x 5¼"), small margins. Foxing.
Baron Dominique-Vivant Denon (1747-1825), French painter, archaeologist and traveller. He had a brilliant career as an artist and diplomat under the ancien regime, rubbing shoulders with the likes of Diderot, Voltaire, and Robespiere. He followed Napoleon on his campaign in Egypt, making over 150 sketches (now in the British Museum) which, reproduced in his book 'Voyage dans la Basse et la Haute Egypte' (1802), the first serious description of the antiquities discovered in Egypt, were influential in establishing the Egyptian Revival style in France. In 1802 he was appointed director-general of the Imperial Museums, playing a key role in bringing foreign masterpieces into the Louvre. He played a crucial role as artistic adviser to Napoleon, selecting artworks to requisition and handing out commissions to artists. After Napoleon's defeat in 1815 he retired, and spent his last ten years engraving and working on a general history of the arts.

Mixed method engraving. 610 x 440mm (24 x 17¼"), with extremely large margins.

François Marie Arouet de Voltaire. (1694–1778) French Philosopher. One of the towering geniuses in literary and intellectual history, Voltaire personifies the Enlightenment. This mainstream of thought in 18th Century Europe fostered the belief in natural law and universal order and the confidence in human reason that spread to influence all of 18th-century society. Currents of thought were many and varied, but certain ideas may be characterized as pervading and dominant. A rational and scientific approach to religious, social, political, and economic issues promoted a secular view of the world and a general sense of progress and perfectibility.

The Volunteer_1803. [&] The Volunteer_1860.
Painted by J. Absolon_ G. McCulloch lith. Day & Son, Lithrs to the Queen.
London Published Nov.r 1.st 1860 by Lloyd Brothers & Co. 96 Gracechurch Street.
Pair of scarce lithographs with fine handcolour. Sheet: 350 x 430mm (13¾ x 17"); large margins.
The first scene shows a member of the British Volunteer Corps helping a young woman over a stile. Following the breakdown of the Truce of Amiens, Britain declared war on Napoleon in 1803 and a huge volunteer force the like of which had not been seen before was created to protect Britain from invasion. The second scene shows a young volunteer officer from 1860 holding the hand of a young lady. Following the Crimean War it became apparent that Britiain did not have enough forces to defend itself should its defences be threatened; and with fears that Britain might be caught up in the war between the French and the Prusssian Empire the new Volunteer Force was formed emulating that of 1804. The pair serves to both encourage young men to sign up to the Volunteer force and to perhaps also encourage young women to persuade their men to sign up.
