The Cab Strike July 1853. The Members In A Fix. The members you see are in a shocking bad plight for on rising they find a dreadful wet night go John Bill and Harry be smart my fine lads…
George Innes 6 Randor .t Kings R.o Chelsea.
London Published by Samuel Rowe 124 Cheapside. [n.d. c.1853]
Coloured aquatint, plate 295 x 440mm (11½ x 17¼"), with small margins. Creased. Foxed. Surface dirt.
A satire on the cab strike in retaliation to the Hackney Carriage duties bill. The members of parliament leave the house of commons are unsure how to get home with the cabmen on strike. The cabbies make fun of them, pulling faces. 'Lord John' offers one of them eight pence to take him to Whitehall. The cabmen refuse as 'punishment for their bad acts.' The law which, among other things, set fares at sixpence a mile, down from 8p. The law was prompted by the countless complaints of fare-gouging from the public during the Great Exhibition of 1851. A very rare and interesting image. There seems to be no record of this image.

[The Cabal. See Gazetter.] [The Picturesque Appearance of a very, very Grave Statesman.]
[Anon., c.1745.]
Rare engraving, sheet 170 x 280mm (6¾ x 11"). Trimmed to image, losing text top and bottom; tear upper left. Remains of scrap sheet verso at corners.
Table with a 'Grave Statesman' surrounded by women, whose cuckolded husbands hide glumly under the table. One is writing a 'Speech for 15 New Regiments'. While unconfirmed, it has been claimed that the central figure is John Montagu, fourth earl of Sandwich (1718-92), and that the print relates to a brief episode in 1745 when Sandwich went on campaign as an officer of the regiment Bedford raised for service against Charles Edward Stuart. The text 'see Gazetteer' refers the reader to an essay Tobias Smollett wrote in the Daily Gazetteer; Smollett subsequently responded to this print in another essay.

[Cabinet-makers] Mess.rs Morgan & Sanders, Catherine St. Strand.
No.8, of Ackermann's Repository of Arts &c. Pub. Augt. 1st 1809, at 101 Strand London.
Fine hand coloured engraving. Sheet 145 x 235mm (5¾ x 9¼").
Specialists in the manufacture of “metamorphic” furniture, upholsterers and cabinet-makers Thomas Morgan and Joseph Sanders operated the highly successful firm of Morgan & Sanders. The firm flourished between 1801 and 1820. Sanders was a highly innovative designer, patenting designs and improvements to “The Metamorphic Library Chair,” “The Imperial Dining Table” and “Merlin’s Mechanical Chair.” They marketed aggressively, advertising in both London and provincial newspapers, and supplied furniture to not only the hero of the time, Lord Horatio Nelson, but enjoyed Royal patronage, as well. Much of what the company designed can be called campaign furniture, and they crafted furniture of “transportable comfort” aimed at the Army and Navy markets. In fact, both the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich and the Royal Naval Museum shows examples of their work. After the death of Joseph Sanders in 1818, the company was renamed Morgan & Co. and sold to their foreman, John Durham, in 1820. Numbered 'Plate 10. Vol. 2.' upper right, from Rudolph Ackermann's 'Repository of Arts' periodical, published from 1809-1829. A series of the firm’s designs were published in the magazine between 1809 until 1815. The formal title of the publication was "Repository of Arts, Literature, Commerce, Manufactures, Fashions, and Politics", and it discussed and illustrated day to day life, and influenced English taste in fashion, architecture and literature.

Ink, crayon and watercolour with white bodycolour, on card. Image 456 x 323mm.
A short-sighted golfer is about to put off the green and into a bomb crater, as his playing partner looks on with concern. W Lindsay Cable was a famous children's illustrator, predominantly working in the 1940's for famous publishers such as Blackie and Son, Wells, Gardner, Darton & Co, and working for Punch magazine for several years. He was an accomplished artist. Cable illustrated all of Enid Blyton's St Clares series as well as The Naughtiest Girl in the School and The Secret of Cliff Castle. He also illustrated several books by Rita Coatts including Ghosts at Stark Hall, The Ghost at Beeches, Jane Sets Out, The Silent House and The House With Dark Corners. He illustrated a later version of Robinson Crusoe and Little Pilgrim's Progress by Helen L Taylor. A famous (and controversial) work by Cable was his portrayal of Ahmad and Johnny in the booklets of the same name, which were British propaganda pamphlets distributed in Egypt.

Etching, 180 x 210mm (7 x 8¼"). Trimmed to platemark; glued to backing sheet; slight staining.
French coaching print with verses below translating as: 'Barbaric English! who with the same blade/ cut off the head of their king and the tails from their horses/ but the genteel French let their king's heads remain/ and also, as you see, the tails of their beasts' (!) Attributed to Henry Bunbury, possibly one of his earliest works. Bunbury was an amateur printmaker who subsequently enjoyed a successful career as a designer for printsellers. 'Prints by Bunbury an his imitators were conspicuously 'polite' and appealed, like novels, 'To the Fashionable World and Polite circles'. Of good family, amply endowed with social skills, a beautiful wife and connections in high society, Bunbury's appeal was not solely aesthetic' and his admirers 'recognized his comic talent, his informed enthusiasm for literature, and his ability to draw a momentary pang with something of the sensitivity with which Sterne could write it' (Clayton).

Portrait of an Ottoman Turkish legal official. From a series of prints depicting the customs, manners, costume etc. of Turkey and Egypt, drawn and engraved by Richard Dalton (1715? - 1791). Dalton, who was trained as an artist, went to Rome to pursue his studies, and in 1749 travelled with Roger Kynaston and John Frederick to Naples and Sicily, where they joined a party consisting of James Caulfeild, Earl of Charlemont, Francis Pierpoint Burton, and others. From thence Dalton accompanied Lord Charlemont on his tour to Constantinople/Istanbul, Greece, and Egypt. Dalton managed to obtain the position of librarian to George III. He was subsequently appointed keeper of the pictures and antiquary to his majesty. He was one of the original members of the Incorporated Society of Artists in 1765, and became their treasurer. He was elected a fellow of the Society of Antiquaries in 1767. 'Antiquities and Views in Greece and Egypt, with the Manners and Customs of the Inhabitants, from Drawings made on the Spot.' was published in London in 1791 and is all three of Dalton's Tours in one volume.

Engraving, sheet 250 x 170mm (9¾ x 6¾"). Laid in album sheet.
Representation of the allied occupation of Port St Mary, which preceded the battle of Cadiz in 1702 during the War of the Spanish Succession. After the allies landed, they marched on Rota and then entered the town of Port St Mary, and looted the town's unguarded warehouses, convents and churches (as shown here). This conduct both caused Prince George to send home a report despairing of the behaviour, and ended any chance of the local population supporting the allies. The advance lost momentum thereafter, and the allies' attempt to capture Cadiz ended in abject failure. Plate to a volume on events during the reign of Queen Anne.

Lithograph. Sheet 430 x 380mm (17 x 15"), with blindstamp in inscription area. Laid on album paper.
A portrait of Don Fernando Girón and his commanders during the successful defence of the city during the English 'Cadiz Expedition' of 1625. The elderly Girón sits in a sedan chair with his deputy commander, Diego Ruiz, standing before him. Behind can be seen different moments in the siege, with the naval attacks and land battles, including the English being chased back to their boats. The 'Cadiz Expedition' was an ill-conceived attempt by the Duke of Buckingham to gain prestige by emulating the exploits of the Elizabethan adventurers. In the autumn of 1625 nearly 100 ships and a total of 15,000 men were sent to attack Cadiz under Sir Edward Cecil, a capable soldier, but completely inexperienced at sea. Having faced heavy storms on the way they missed their main objective, a treasure ship from the Americas; and when Cecil landed his troops he realised he didn't have the supplies to maintain them. The landed troops resorted to scavenging, and unfortunately found too many wine vats. When Cecil gave the inevitable order to withdraw over a thousand troops were left behind, so drunk that the counter-attacking Spanish could run them through where they lay (depicted by the building at the centre of the background). The expedition cost the English an estimated £250,000, and in 1626, when Parliament attempted to impeach Buckingham for the ineptitude of the planning, Charles I had to dissolve Parliament to protect his favourite. Although attributed here to Eugenio Caxés, the painting was painted by Francisco de Zurbarán in 1634 and is now in the Prado Museum. This lithograph is from the 'Colección lithographica de cuadros del rey de España el señor Fernando VII'.

The Cadogan Pier Cheyne Walk Chelsea.
N. Handford Esq. Archt. C. Warren, delt.
Published April 17th 1841, by T. Faulkner, Chelsea.
Very scarce lithograph, two perspectives (viewed from the bank and the river) printed on a single sheet. Tipped into album page, sheet 330 x 485mm (13 x 19").
There was insufficient accommodation on the riverbank for passenger steamboats in the 1840s and piers were built into the Thames to accommodate them. Cremorne Gardens had its own landing place, with a regular service from London. In 1840 Old Swan pier and Chelsea Mall pier served the steamboats, but by 1841 Earl Cadogan had erected Cadogan pier in Cheyne Walk, designed by N. Handford, catering for a large number of summer passengers. The pier was rebuilt c. 1875 to accommodate Albert Bridge. Perhaps from the architect's prospectus.

Probably this is from a series of views illustrating Sir Walter Scott's (1771 - 1832) 'Provincial antiquities of Scotland' - perhaps one of the men represented is the great Scottish historical novelist, playwright, and poet himself. 'Cadyow Castle' was a poem written by Scott.

A fine prospect of Caerhays Castle near St. Austell, Cornwall, a Grade I Listed Building built by the famous architect, John Nash, for the Trevanion family. Building work started in 1807 and was completed by 1810. The Trevanions must have been stretched by the construction cost of Caerhays since, by 1825, they had taken out a mortgage (incumbrance) with The Bank of England for £20,000. Further mortgages accumulated along with their gambling debts and, by 1842, the Trevanion family fled to Bruges and their estates were acquired by their creditors.
