Georgius Buchananus.
Georgius Buchananus. Aetat: LXXVI.
R: Blokhuysen Fecit.
[n.d., c.1710.]
Rare. Engraved frontispiece/dedication, sheet 210 x 165mm. 8¼ x 6½". Trimmed to plate.
Bust in an alcove of George Buchanan (1506 - 1582), Scottish historian, scholar and poet; 16 lines of tribute in Latin by the author Pieter Shrijver to pedestal below, profiles of Mary Queen of Scots and James VI right and left. Educated at the Universities of St Andrews and Paris, Buchanan taught in Paris until his return to Scotland in 1536. Condemned as a heretic, he was imprisoned in the castle of St Andrews before escaping into exile in France in 1539. He held professorships at Bordeaux and Paris, and later at Coimbra, Portugal, where he was put on trial for heresy in 1550-01. He returned to Scotland in 1561 and tutored Mary, Queen of Scots. Initially loyal to the Queen, he later testified against her at her trial for the assassination of her husband, Lord Darnley. He became principal of St Leonard's College in St Andrews in 1566. His most substantial work, Rerum Scoticarum Historia (lower left of bust), a history of Scotland, was published in Latin in 1582.

Georgius Buchananus: Aeta: suae 76.
Esme de Boulonois fecit.
[n.d. c.1682.]
Engraving. 188 x 140mm. 7½ x 5½".
Published in Isaac Bullart's 'Académie des Sciences et des Arts'. George Buchanan (1506-1582) was a Scottish historian and humanist scholar. He was part of the monarchomach movement, which consisted of Huguenot theorists who opposed absolute monarchy. Monarchomachs were people who opposed absolutism, believing that sovereignty belonged to the people, but the irony here was that "the people" for monarchomachs in fact only meant to refer to the bourgeoisie and nobility, never the popular masses. Buchanan was a key figure in developing the monarchomach theories in Scotland. Similar to Erasmus, Buchanan had the same ideas about the Catholic church, and was persecuted like all Lutherans in 1539, however he managed to effect his escape, and fled to London and then onto Paris. It was here where faced with further persecution, he accepted an invitation by Andre de Gouveia to take on the post of professor of Latin at the College of Guienne at Bordeaux.

Etching with hand-colouring, platemark 265 x 375mm (10½ x 14¾"), with very large margins. Trimmed inside platemark; unidentified collector's stamp verso.
Two contrasting men, exemplifying different fashions and physiognomies. The printmaker William Heath (1794-1840) used the pseudonym Paul Pry (taken from the name of a character in John Poole's 1825 comedy, and used to describe a very inquisitive person) between 1827-9, and rather than signing his name he used the 'Paul Pry' monogram seen here, a small man holding a walking stick. However this figure began to be copied by other caricaturists (including Sharpshooter ) and so Heath reverted to his own name.

[after Daniel Dodd.]
Published by J. McGowan, Great Windmill Street, 1825 [but 1826].
Stipple. 160 x 100mm (6¼ x 4"), with large margins.
Half-length portrait of John Smith, a.k.a. Buckhorse (boxer, fl.1720-50), adapted from the portrait by Daniel Dodd. He earned his nickname riding for the Duke of Queensberry, the inveterate gambler. In later life, for a few shillings Buckhorse would allow people to punch him in the head as hard as they could, so such a blow became known as a 'Buckhorse'. Probably as a result of these blows, a common expression of the period was 'as ugly as Buckhorse'. From John Badcock's 'The Fancy; or The True Sportsman's Guide: Being Authentic Memoirs of the Lives, Actions, Prowess, and Battles of the Leading Pugilists, from the Days of Figg and Broughton, to the Championship of Ward.
