[Denmark] Christianus VII. D.G. Dan: Norveg: Vandal: Gothor: Rex. Nat: d: 29. Jan: 1749.
J.E. Nilson fec: et exc: A.V.
Cum Gr: et Pr: S.C.R.M. Acad. [n.d. c.1765.]
Etching. 222 x 158mm (8¾ x 6¼"). Trimmed and laid on album page.
Christian VII (1749-1808) was King of Denmark and Norway, and Duke of Schleswig and Holstein from 1766 until his death. He was dreadful towards his wife, Princess Caroline Mathilda, a sister of King George III of Great Britain, declaring that it was not fashionable to loves one's wife, and thus he pursued a young courtisan, Stovlet-Cathrine. His neglected wife drifted into an affair with Johann Friedrich Struensee, the royal physician. Following a divorce, Struensee was arrested and later executed; the warrant was signed by Christian with indifference. He suffered from various mental problems, the symptoms of which leaned towards paranoia and schizophrenia.
See 17597 for Christian VII's wife Caroline Matilda; and 17598 for Juliana Maria, who saw Christian VII restored to the throne.

A portrait of Christiane Eberhardine of Brandenburg-Bayreuth (1671-1727), dressed lavishly. She married the Duke of Saxony, who would go on to become king of Poland, aged 21. Their marriage was unhappy, as the Duke was a serial adulterer, and her dislike of him only increased after he converted to Catholicism in order to become king. In response Christiane did not attend his coronation nor did she ever set foot in Poland and thus was never crowned queen in Poland. They had one child together.

Mezzotint, very scarce. Sheet size: 215 x 135mm (8½ x 5½"). Trimmed to image. Slight repaired hole on top left.
Justus Claproth (1728 - 1805) was a German jurist, or teacher of law, and inventor of the deinking process of recycled paper. Before the invention of the paper machine in 1799 the most common fibre source was recycled fibres from used textiles. The rags were from hemp, linen and cotton. It was not until the introduction of wood pulp in 1843 that paper production were independent of recycled materials. The process for removing printing inks from recycled paper was invented by Justus Claproth in 1774. He practiced together with German paper producer Johann Engelhard Schmid. Today this method is called deinking.

A view of the exterior of the Temple of Apollo, Corinth, published in the 'Antiquities of Athens and Other Monuments of Greece' by James 'Athenian' Stuart & Nicholas Revett. Stuart (1713–88) and Revett (1720–1804) joined Gavin Hamillton and Matthew Brettingham on a Grand Tour of Italy, the Balkans & Greece between 1748-55. On their return they started work on the 'Antiquities', which was the first accurate survey of the surviving classical buildings of Athens, with the first volume published in 1762, the second 1789, third 1794, fourth 1816 and fifth 1830 (nearly 80 years after the first). The work was incredibly influential, fueling the Greek revivalist style in 18th-century English architecture. The attention to detail was such that it attracted the attention of Hogarth, who satirised the work with his 'Five Orders of Periwig'.
Stuart's gouache of the temple is in the Victoria and Albert Museum, RIBA Library Drawings Collection, SD146/2.

A military scene showing the reconquering of Corsica by the French on 19th October 1796. Following the execution of Louis XVI Pasquale Paoli, leader of Corsica, requested protection from Britain. Seeing the chance to have a naval base in the Mediterranean, a British naval fleet, under the command of Admiral Samuel Hood, set sail in 1794.

From Carle Vernet's 'Tableaux Historiques des Campagnes D'Italie...' 1806.
