A Wonderful Flight or Journey from France to Gibralter, America &c. Related by an Eminent Author.
J. Strange Sculpt.
[1793]
Very rare engraving, sheet 205 x 120mm (8 x 4¾"). Trimmed, losing text. Slight mark in sky.
A man rides on the back of a huge eagle which carries him through the air. Illustration to a narrative entitled “An Extraordinary Flight on the Back of an Eagle over France to Gilbralter, South and North America, the Polar Regions, and Back to England, within six-and-thirty-Hours,” which offered a first-person narrative of one person’s extraordinary adventures, while exploring a ruined temple on the Island of “Thanet.” A brief prefatory comment explained to readers that the account was an extract from a text by (in reality Rudolph Erich Raspe, a well known humourist), and explained that it was a “satire upon those Writers and Travellers who have renedered themselves ridiculous by the number of montrous and and incredible Stories related in their works.” (Other impressions of this print carry additional text explaining 'The Art of Lying Burlesqued in an Account of....') Although the main target of this satire was the exagerated tales included in many published travelogues of the day, its dramatic vision of a boy holding tight to an impossibly large eagle would also have evoked the more farcical side of the ballooning phenomena, which was itself a favourite theme in many satirical prints in the mid 1780s. Frontispiece to the first volume of the 'Wonderful Magazine', an entertaining but short-lived periodical founded in 1793 by the hack writer and bookseller Henry Lemoine (1756-1812).

London, Pubd. by E & S. Harding, Pall Mall 21 May 1793.
Stipple, 225 x 180mm. 9 x 7".
Sir William Wood (1609 - 1691), toxophilite, born in 1609, was for many years marshal of the Finsbury archers, who held their meetings in Finsbury Fields. He was probably knighted by Charles II for his skill in the use of the bow. In 1676 his society or regiment purchased a badge or shield to be worn by their marshal, and the decoration, known as the ‘Catherine of Braganza Shield,’ passed to successive marshals till 1736, when the office was abolished. Subsequently each succeeding captain of the Easter target held it till it passed into the hands of the Royal Toxophilite Society on its formation in 1781. This society also absorbed the few remaining Finsbury archers.

A portrait of Elizabeth Woodcock, who survived being trapped in a snowdrift for eight days. Mrs Elizabeth Woodcock, a resident of Impington and wife of Daniel Woodcock, went to Cambridge market on Saturday 2nd February 1799. She sold her eggs and butter and started to return home. Her last stopping place was The Three Tuns at the top of Castle Hill. Heavy falls of snow had already occurred when she replenished her flask with brandy and left for home on her horse. She was thrown from her horse in the fields to the east of Impington, and was unable to remount. Shaken and numbed with cold she took shelter under a hawthorn hedge. The snow drifted over her until she was completely covered. Early next morning she heard the church bells ringing for morning service. She also heard the voices of passers-by in the distance, but was unable to attract attention. On the Monday she made a hole in the snow above her and made a flag of her red handkerchief which she tied on a stick. This flag led to her discovery but not till another week had passed. On the following Sunday, the Parish Clerk of Impington, William Munsey, saw the flag while out walking, discovered Mrs Woodcock, got help, and rescued her. She had been buried under the snow for eight days, and was conscious most of the time. She heard a church clock striking the hours, and the church bells on two successive Sundays. After her rescue, tragically she did not survive long. She was taken ill and died on 24th July at the age of 43.
