B. Hilscher after Georg Emmanuel Opitz.
Par son tiés humble serviteur Louis de Kleist in Dresde 1841.
Aquatint and etching. Platemark: 568 x 722mm. (22¼ x 28¼"). Original hand colour. A single speck of dirt appears above the Thames, but below the clouds.
Opitz’ work depicts the Queen and her consort as they review the British military. In the background, a panorama of London can be seen. The towers of Greenwich appear in the middle distance. Beyond the Thames, the cupola of St. Paul’s Cathedral looms over the central district of the city. Georg Emmanuel Opitz (1775 - 1841) was a painter, draughtsman and printmaker. He was born in Prague, but received his initial training from Giovanni Battista Casanova in Dresden. He relocated to in Vienna in 1801, and became a specialist in amusing scenes of everyday life, particularly Parisian. He was somewhat nomadic, and moved to the French capital in 1814. After this, further trips to Heidelberg and Attenberg followed, before he settled in Liepzig in 1820. An extremely fine & scarce image.

The Hall and Stair Case, British Museum.

London. Pub April 1, 1808 at R. Ackermann’s Repository of Arts 101, Strand.
Hand coloured aquatint with large margins. Platemark: 285 x 240mm (11¼ x 9¾").
An interior view of the Great Staircase in the British Museum, London. Montagu House was the first home of the British Museum. When it was built in 1686, the French style of decoration was fashionable. The walls of the Great Staircase and the ceiling above it were painted mainly by Charles de la Fosse (1636-1716). The painting on the ceiling illustrated a story from Greek mythology - Phaeton asking for permission to drive the chariot of the sun-god, Apollo. The Great Staircase led from the Entrance Hall (which was near the site of the present-day colonnade) to a landing on the first floor. From there visitors walked through the upper rooms, where they could see some of the Museum's collections of manuscripts, medals, antiquities and natural history specimens. Published in Ackermann's famous work, the 'Microcosm of London', the figures were drawn by the famous caricaturist Thomas Rowlandson and the architecture by Augustus Pugin.

The City Light Horse Volunteers reviewed by Lord Harrington on Wimbledon Common.
Printed & Sold by Edw.d Langley No 173 High Street, Borough and Champante & Whitrow Jewry Street, Aldgate.
Rare copper engraving. 450 x 370mm, 17¾ x 14½". 'Williams' watermark. Small hole, messy at edges.
A broadsheet writing sheet, filled in with a prayer by John Ellyall in 1811. Under the main image are vignettes demostrating six sabre strokes and a bombardier firing a mortar at a castle.
The Light Horse Volunteers, first formed by well-to-do London merchants in 1779 and disbanded in 1783, were re-established in May 1794 as the Light Horse Volunteers of the Cities of London and Westminster. Their chief role was to suppress civil disobedience. However, as rich men with expensive gear, their reputation as soldiers was not good: the Cato Street Conspiritors planned to raid their stables as part of their plot in 1820.
