After Worlidge's death she carried on the sale of his etchings at his house in Great Queen Street; but she let the mansion to Hester Darby and her daughter, Mary Robinson ('Perdita'), on her marriage to a wine and spirit merchant James Ashley, using the name Mrs Ashley until 1771. She later remarried again a Captain Robinson, and kept the 'Star and Garter' at Richmond.

Occasional offsetting and spotting. Includes an amateur watercolour portrait after Worlidge. Some sheets on watermarked 1823 Whatman paper.
A posthumous collection of prints by Thomas Worlidge (1700-66), known as the 'English Rembrandt' for his etching technique and fondness for copying subjects by Rembrandt and his contemporaries. The subjects here include several Rembrandt copies and other Dutch genre scenes, along with religious subjects, portraits and oddities such as a camel, écorché figure, and portraits of 'Mahomet, a Turkish Merchant' and his companion 'Hamet'. Born in Peterborough, Worlidge was a pupil of Alessandro Maria Grimaldi, whose daughter Arabella he married. His widow issued his plates in 1766 and 1767 after his death with the numbers in the corners, but very few impressions were issued and sold by Worlidge during his lifetime.
We have early impressions of many of prints in this collection, eg. refs 23970 (Hamet); 28369 (John Evelyn); 32573 (self-portrait); 32572 (Turk's Head); 32576 (écorché) etc. Ex: Collection of The Hon

Wounded Buffalo Bull. No.16.
Catlin del._on Stone by Mc.Gahey. Day & Haghe Lith.rs to the Queen.
(From Catlins N.A. Indian Collection.) [London: Geo. Catlin, 1844.]
Tinted lithograph. 411 x 565mm (16¼ x 22¼"). Tear to lower edge.
Buffalo wounded by a spear or arrow in the snow. "The reader has here, a striking illustration of the deadly effects of the Indian's arrow, and also as an emphatic representation of one of the largest specimens of the buffalo bull, shot through the heart, at his last halt; his legs bending under his great weight, and his huge carcass ready to tumble down from loss of blood, which is pouring from his nostrils and mouth, as well as from the wounds in his side. Not only shot, but pinioned, by the arrows of the hunter, (who has already counted him amongst his victims and passed on to claim others of the throng,) the bull is thus left to struggle with death; and in that struggle, hobbles and reels along but a brief distance, wheezing and sighing through streams of frothy blood until he sinks upon his haunches, where he invariably rests for a few moments, bracing up with his fore legs, the noblest object of pity, until his last deep-drawn breath is gushed out, when he falls and rolls in death, without a kick or struggle." An exhibition of Catlin's 'American Indian Portraits' is currently on display at the National Portrait Gallery. George Catlin (1796-1872) was a Pennsylvanian-born artist who made five trips to the western United States to document the Native American peoples and their way of life. From Catlin's "North American Indian Portfolio".

[n.d. c.1859.]
Very rare Lithograph. 331 x 375mm. 13 x 14¾". Cut.
The Royal Charter Storm of 1859 was considered to be the most severe storms to hit the British Isles in the 19th century, and it took its name from this steam clipper, the Royal Charter. She was returning to Liverpool from Melbourne when the storm reached hurricane force 12, forcing the crew to anchor twice, after the first one snapped, and to cut the masts, but despite all their efforts, the wind pushed her onto a sandbank, but in the morning of the 26th the rising tide drove her on to the rocks at a point just north of Moelfre on the north coast of Anglesey, where she was whipped by winds of over 100mph.
