The Rev.d John Wesley, A.M. Fellow of Lincoln College, Oxford. Born at Epworth in Lincolnshire June 28.th 1703. Died in London. March 2.d 1791. [Remarque:] Epworth Church.
Painted by G. Romney, 1789. Engraved by W. Ward, A.R.A. Mezzotinto Engraver to His Majesty & H.R.H. the Duke of York. [Remarque:] Drawn by J. Jackson, R.A. July 18.th 1825.
Published Aug.t 1.st. 1825 by the Rev.d Tho.s Roberts, Bristol.
Mezzotint and etching with remarque of Epworth Church. Plate 349 x 252mm. 13¾ x 10". Some time staining.
John Wesley (1703-1791) the founder of the Methodist movement which, under his organisation, grew from the 'Holy Club' of his Oxford friends into a great religious rival. An indefatigable traveller, preacher and writer, Wesley averaged 8,000 miles a year on horseback and gave 15 sermons a week. He was the brother of Charles, the divine and hymn-writer, and uncle of Samuel Wesley, the composer and organist. The movement took form from its third rise in the early 1740s with Wesley, along with others, itinerant field preaching and the subsequent founding of religious societies for the formation of believers. This was the first widely successful evangelical movement in the United Kingdom. Wesley's Methodist Connexion included societies throughout England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland before spreading to other parts of the English-speaking world and beyond. He divided his religious societies further into classes and bands for intensive accountability and religious instruction.

A view of the newly-built West India Docks on the Isle of Dogs in London. Outraged at losses due to theft and delay at London's riverside wharves, Robert Milligan (c. 1746 - 1809) headed a group of powerful businessmen, including the chairman of the West India Merchants of London, George Hibbert, who promoted the creation of a wet dock circled by a high wall. The Docks were constructed in two phases. The two northern-most docks were constructed between 1800 and 1802 (officially opened on 27 August 1802) for the West India Dock Company to a design by leading civil engineer William Jessop (John Rennie was a consultant), and were the first commercial wet docks in London.

West Meon Rectory. North Front.
M.A.T.W. [Mary Anne Theresa Whitby] 1830.
Rare lithograph on chine collé. 185 x 245mm (7¼ x 9½"), with large margins.
The Tudor and Jacobean rectory in West Meon, Hampshire (now a private residence). At the time this print was made, it was occupied by clergyman Henry Vincent Bayley (1777-1844) who had earlier played an important role in the renovation of Lincoln Cathedral. 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).

[Mary Anne Theresa Whitby, c.1830.]
Rare lithograph. Printed area 185 x 255mm (7¼ x 10"), with large margins. Foxing.
The Tudor and Jacobean rectory in West Meon, Hampshire (now a private residence). At the time this print was made, it was occupied by clergyman Henry Vincent Bayley (1777-1844) who had earlier played an important role in the renovation of Lincoln Cathedral. 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).
