the ceiling of the Council Chamber, representing the<br />

four parts of Painting: Invention, Composition, Design<br />

by Benjamin West, depicting Nature, the Three Graces<br />

moved to new premises in Trafalgar Square, and in<br />

1899 were placed on the entrance ceiling at Burlington<br />

1782. From 1772, she became lady-in-waiting of<br />

Louise Marie Adélaide de Bourbon, the wife of<br />

Philippe Egalité Duke of Chartres. Félicité de Genlis<br />

became the mistress of the Duke and was soon named<br />

governess of their daughters and, controversially, of<br />

their sons. Many of her works were written for their<br />

education and through her writing became a friend of<br />

Rousseau. In 1793 she fled the excesses of the<br />

Revolution and after living in England she was allowed<br />

to return in 1801 by Napoleon who admired her.<br />

A prolific artist, James Ward R..A. (1769 - 1859) was<br />

one of the finest animal, portrait, and landscape<br />

painters of Regency England. Brittle, pious, and<br />

argumentative, Ward worked well into the mid-19th<br />

century, creating dynamic compositions that<br />

epitomized Romanticism. He was devoted to the art of<br />

Rubens and Van Dyck, and emulated them more than<br />

any of his contemporaries.<br />

Sir Edwin Henry Landseer, RA 1802-1873. Edwin<br />

Landseer was the youngest son of an engraver. The<br />

three Landseer brothers studied under Benjamin Robert<br />

Haydon, the historical painter, from 1815. Haydon<br />

encouraged Landseer to study animal anatomy. In<br />

1816, Landseer entered the Royal Academy Schools,<br />

but he had already exhibited at the Royal Academy<br />

Summer Exhibition in the previous year. He was<br />

elected Associate of the Royal Academy in 1826 aged<br />

only twenty four, and full Academician in 1831 when<br />

not yet thirty. In the 1830s his work gained wide<br />

popularity and was bought both by the aristocracy and<br />

the newly important middle class. He himself moved<br />

freely in aristocratic circles, and after 1836 he enjoyed<br />

royal patronage, especially in the 1840s when Victoria<br />

and Albert also discovered Scotland. He paid his first<br />

visit to their home, Balmoral in 1850 to paint a large<br />

group portrait of the royal family. He was knighted that<br />

year even though the painting was never finished.<br />

Landseer had a permanent fight against depression and<br />

ill health, although he continued to paint brilliantly<br />

almost until the end of his life. In the 1860s he<br />

modelled the lions at the base of Nelson's Column in<br />

Trafalgar Square and these were unveiled in 1867. In<br />

1866 he declined the presidency of the Royal<br />

Academy, and after 1870 sank slowly into madness.<br />

teachings. The three martyrs were the bishops Hugh<br />

We conclude the 'Clynton' to whom this invoice relates<br />

was General Sir Henry Clinton 1730-1795 who served<br />

as British Commander in Chief in the American<br />

Revolutionary War. The first purchase does seem to<br />

coinside with the year he was risen to the rank of<br />

lieutenant colonel in the 1st Foot Guards [later<br />

Grenadier Guards]. In 1760 he went on active service<br />

for the first time. A brigade of guards was attached to<br />

the force under Prince Ferdinand, and Clinton so<br />

greatly distinguished himself that he was selected to fill<br />

the post of aide-de-camp to the hereditary Prince of<br />

Brunswick, who commanded a division. His gallantry<br />

was conspicuous; he was promoted colonel on 24 June<br />

1762, was wounded at Johannisberg on 30 Aug. 1762,<br />

and after the conclusion of peace was appointed<br />

colonel of the 12th regiment in 1766. He was promoted<br />

major-general on 25 May 1772.<br />

[n.d., 1772.]<br />

Titlepage, engraved dedication with stipple engraved<br />

and etched vignette, 235 x 175mm. 9¼ x 7". £80<br />

From 'A Dissertation on Oriental Gardening', W.<br />

Griffin, London, 1772. The book represented an<br />

unfortunate literary venture by the architect Sir<br />

William Chambers (1726 - 1796), in which he<br />

endeavoured to prove the superiority of the Chinese<br />

system of landscape gardening over that practised in<br />

Europe. His preface is animated with irritation against<br />

Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown, whose design for Lord<br />

Clive's villa at Claremont had been preferred to his.<br />

The ‘Dissertation’ itself, with its absurd depreciation of<br />

nature, its bombastic style, and its ridiculous<br />

descriptions (mainly borrowed from other works) of<br />

the gardens of the emperor of China, was sufficient to<br />

account for the satires which it called into life. The<br />

most important of these was ‘An Heroic Epistle to Sir<br />

W. C.,’ followed by ‘An Heroic Postscript’ to this<br />

epistle, in both of which the satire was keen and the<br />

verses pointed. These lively pieces were published<br />

anonymously, and their authorship was for some time a<br />

matter for conjecture. There is now no doubt that they<br />

were by William Mason, the poet, the first book of<br />

whose ‘English Garden’ was published in 1772.<br />

Chambers commenced to exhibit with the Society of<br />

Artists (in Spring Gardens) in 1761, and was one of the<br />

first members and the first treasurer of the Royal<br />

Academy when established in 1768. In 1775 he was<br />

appointed architect of Somerset House at a salary of<br />

2,000l. a year.<br />

Effie Deans is one of the central characters in The<br />

Heart of Midlothian, a novel by Sir Walter Scott,<br />

written in 1818. Effie had been imprisoned on a false<br />

charge, accused of having killed her illegitimate child.<br />

When an angry crowd stormed the goal, she had an<br />

opportunity to escape. But Effie decided to stay. Prison<br />

seemed a better prospect than a life of freedom with a<br />

tarnished reputation. A fine impression. Sir John<br />

Sir Edwin Henry Landseer, RA 1802-1873. Edwin<br />

Landseer was the youngest son of an engraver. The<br />

three Landseer brothers studied under Benjamin Robert<br />

Haydon, the historical painter, from 1815. Haydon<br />

encouraged Landseer to study animal anatomy. In<br />

1816, Landseer entered the Royal Academy Schools,<br />

but he had already exhibited at the Royal Academy<br />

Summer Exhibition in the previous year. He was<br />

elected Associate of the Royal Academy in 1826 aged<br />

only twenty four, and full Academician in 1831 when<br />

not yet thirty. In the 1830s his work gained wide<br />

popularity and was bought both by the aristocracy and<br />

the newly important middle class. He himself moved<br />

freely in aristocratic circles, and after 1836 he enjoyed<br />

royal patronage, especially in the 1840s when Victoria<br />

and Albert also discovered Scotland. He paid his first<br />

visit to their home, Balmoral in 1850 to paint a large<br />

group portrait of the royal family. He was knighted that<br />

year even though the painting was never finished.<br />

Landseer had a permanent fight against depression and<br />

ill health, although he continued to paint brilliantly<br />

almost until the end of his life. In the 1860s he<br />

modelled the lions at the base of Nelson's Column in<br />

Trafalgar Square and these were unveiled in 1867. In<br />

1866 he declined the presidency of the Royal<br />

Academy, and after 1870 sank slowly into madness.<br />

Caratacus, British king. Caratacus was one of several<br />

sons of the great British king Cunobelinus and on his<br />

father's death around AD 40 he and his brother<br />

Togodumnus appear to have divided the<br />

Catuvellaunian kingdom. Their forces opposed the<br />

Roman invasion in AD 43 but Togodumnus died<br />

shortly after the battle at the Thames and Caratacus<br />

fled west. He re-emerged five years later leading the<br />

Silures of south-east Wales. When the Romans planted<br />

fortresses at Kingsholm (Gloucester) and Wroxeter,<br />

Caratacus withdrew into central Wales and began to<br />

organize the Ordovices. In a pitched battle, perhaps<br />

near Caersws, his forces fought well but lost. He<br />

himself escaped and fled to Brigantia, but was handed<br />

over to the Romans by Queen Cartimandua.<br />

An Ilchester Retriever. Maud Alice Earl (1864-1943)<br />

was an eminent British-American canine painter. Her<br />

works are much enjoyed by dog enthusiasts and also<br />

accurately record many breeds. Earl was the born in<br />

London, the daughter of artist George Earl and his first<br />

wife Alice Beaumont Rawlins. Maud's profession was<br />

the continuation of a family tradition. George Earl, an<br />

avid sportsman and noted sporting painter, was his<br />

daughter’s first teacher and had his daughter study the<br />

anatomy of her subjects, drawing dog, horse and<br />

human skeletons to improve her skill. She later said<br />

that her father’s instruction had given her ability that<br />

set her apart from other dog painters. After her father's<br />

tutelage Maud went on to study at Royal Female<br />

School of Art (later incorporated into the Central<br />

School of Art). Earl became famous during the<br />

Victorian Era, a time when women were not expected<br />

to make their living at painting. Nevertheless, she<br />

developed a select clientele, including Royals amongst<br />

her patrons such as Queen Victoria and Queen<br />

Alexandra. Although evidently extremely successful in<br />

England, Earl felt that the world she knew had been<br />

destroyed by World War I and she emigrated to New<br />

York City in 1916. By this time her work had received<br />

wide international recognition and her popular images<br />

were published in a number of books and in print form.<br />

The Sportsman's Year featured twelve of Earl's works<br />

as engravings. Maud Earl died in New York in 1943<br />

and is buried at Sleepy Hollow Cemetery in Sleepy<br />

Hollow, New York.<br />

Louis Godefroy Jadin [French, 1805 -1882] was a<br />

sporting artist described in 'Le Grand Livre du Chien'<br />

as a painter of dogs of the 'haut monde' of the Second<br />

Empire and of Napoleon III's hunting packs. He first<br />

exhibited at the Salon in 1831, winning medals in 1840<br />

and 1855. He painted on of the Hunting scenes in<br />

NApoleon III's rooms as the Louvre. As a friend of<br />

Alexandre Dumas, he travelled with him on many<br />

occasions to Florence and Naple where Dumas<br />

introduced him to Ferdinand-Philippe of Orleans, from<br />

whom he gained many commissions. His work is in<br />

many European galleries and museums. The Victoria<br />

and Albert includes a painting of Greyhounds.<br />

Goupil & Cie - After various starts, Goupil & Cie was<br />

Valadon 1878-1884. Until 1861, the firm concentrated<br />

on buying, selling and editing prints. Being one on the<br />

leading art dealers of 19th Century Goupil had<br />

branches in most of European capitals and North<br />

America. It is suggested that this image and others<br />

constitutional and legislative assembly which sat from<br />

20 September 1792 to 26 October 1795 (the 4th of<br />

Brumaire of the year IV under the French Republican<br />

Calendar adopted by the Convention). It held executive<br />

power in France during the first years of the French<br />

First Republic. It was succeeded by the Directory,<br />

commencing 2 November 1795. Prominent members<br />

of the original Convention included Maximilien<br />

Robespierre of the Jacobin Club, Jean-Paul Marat<br />

(affiliated with the Jacobins, though never a formal<br />

member), and Georges Danton of the Cordeliers.<br />

Extremely rare. The 'Grand Sanhedrin' was a Jewish<br />

high court convened by Napoleon I to give legal<br />

sanction to the principles expressed by the Assembly of<br />

Notables in answer to the twelve questions submitted<br />

to it by the government. On October 6, 1806, the<br />

Assembly of Notables issued a proclamation to all the<br />

Jewish communities of Europe, inviting them to send<br />

delegates to the Sanhedrin, to convene on October 20.<br />

This proclamation, written in Hebrew, French,<br />

German, and Italian, speaks in extravagant terms of the<br />

importance of this revived institution and of the<br />

greatness of its imperial protector. While the action of<br />

Napoleon aroused in many Jews of Germany the hope<br />

that, influenced by it, their governments also would<br />

grant them the rights of citizenship, others looked upon<br />

it as a political contrivance.<br />

The Long Parliament is the name of the English<br />

Parliament called by Charles I, on 3 November 1640,<br />

following the Bishops' Wars. It received its name from<br />

the fact that through a unique Act of Parliament, it<br />

could only be dissolved with the agreement of the<br />

members, and those members did not agree to its<br />

dissolution until after the English Civil War and at the<br />

end of Interregnum in 1660.<br />

Magna Carta, is an English legal charter, written in<br />

Latin, originally issued in the year 1215. It required<br />

King John of England to proclaim certain rights,<br />

respect certain legal procedures, and accept that his<br />

will could be bound by the law. It explicitly protected<br />

certain rights of the King's subjects, whether free or<br />

fettered — most notably the writ of habeas corpus,<br />

allowing appeal against unlawful imprisonment.<br />

Magna Carta was arguably the most significant early<br />

influence on the extensive historical process that led to<br />

the rule of constitutional law today in the English<br />

speaking world. Similarly, it has influenced the<br />

development of the common law and many<br />

constitutional documents, including the United States<br />

Constitution.<br />

William Penn's (1644 - 1718) 'Great Treaty' reputedly<br />

signed with Delaware Indian leaders in 1682 under an<br />

ancient elm tree at the village of Shackamaxon, located<br />

in what are now the borders of the city of Philadelphia,<br />

Pennsylvania.,stands centre left with his arms open, his<br />

entourage beside him, two of his men kneeling,<br />

offering gifts to the Indians who are assembled at the<br />

right; buildings in construction behind at the left, boats<br />

on the sea at right. After Benjamin West (1738 - 1820),<br />

who was born in Pennsylvania. He was the first<br />

American-born artist to receive international<br />

recognition and remains one of the most important<br />

eighteenth-century painters of historical scenes. He<br />

enjoyed a career that endured more than half a century<br />

that included serving as president of the Royal<br />

Academy.<br />

William Penn, quaker leader and founder of<br />

Pennsylvania, was the first great hero of American<br />

liberty. During the late seventeenth century, when<br />

Protestants persecuted Catholics, Catholics persecuted<br />

Protestants, and both persecuted Quakers and Jews,<br />

Penn established an American sanctuary which<br />

protected freedom of conscience. Almost everywhere<br />

else, colonists stole land from the Indians, but Penn<br />

traveled unarmed among the Indians and negotiated<br />

peaceful purchases. He insisted that women deserved<br />

equal rights with men. He gave Pennsylvania a written<br />

constitution which limited the power of government,<br />

provided a humane penal code, and guaranteed many<br />

fundamental liberties.<br />

For the first time in modem history, a large society<br />

offered equal rights to people of different races and<br />

religions. Penn's dramatic example caused quite a stir<br />

in Europe. The French philosopher Voltaire, a<br />

champion of religious toleration, offered lavish praise.<br />

'William Penn might, with reason, boast of having<br />

brought down upon earth the Golden Age, which in all<br />

probability, never had any real existence but in his<br />

dominions. '<br />

Charity represented as a woman receiving poor boys<br />

for service at sea. Dedicated to a major donor to the<br />

Marine Society. On 25 June 1756, following the<br />

outbreak of the Seven Years War, John Thornton<br />

joined his friend Jonas Hanway and some 22 interested<br />

parties in the King’s Arms Tavern in the City of<br />

London to discuss the effect that the war was likely to<br />

have on trading conditions. By the end of the evening,<br />

The Marine Society had been formed, with John<br />

Thornton as Treasurer.<br />

Sponsorship for naval recruits was offered by The<br />

Marine Society “to all stout lads and boys, who incline<br />

to go on board his Majesty’s ships, with a view to learn<br />

the duty of a seaman, and are, upon examination,<br />

approved by the Marine Society, shall be handsomely<br />

clothed and provided with bedding, and their charges<br />

born down to the ports…”<br />

Following incorporation in Act of Parliament the<br />

Society commissioned in 1786 the first pre-sea training<br />

ship in the world, the 350 ton sloop Beatty and went on<br />

to provide sea training all the way up to the Second<br />

World War.<br />

By 1763, the Society had recruited more than 10,000<br />

men and boys, supplying 5% of the total intake during<br />

the seven year war. Early reports from commanding<br />

officers had indicated that the number of desertions<br />

might be reduced if boys equipped by the Society were<br />

given a period of training before being sent to sea. The<br />

Society thus became the first organisation in the world<br />

to pioneer nautical training for boys in its special<br />

school ship. From 1756 to 1940 the Society recruited<br />

more than 110,000 men and boys for the Royal Navy,<br />

the East India Company and Merchant Service.<br />

Conscription during World War II meant that the<br />

Marine Society no longer had to continue with<br />

recruitment.<br />

The Most Honourable Order of the Bath is an order of<br />

chivalry founded by George I on 18 May 1725. The<br />

name derives from the medieval ceremony for creating<br />

a knight, which involved bathing (as a symbol of<br />

purification) as one of its elements. Recipients of the<br />

Order are now usually senior military officers or senior<br />

civil servants.<br />

The Chelsea Waterworks Company was formed in<br />

1723 and supplied water to Westminster and adjacent<br />

parts. It introduced the first iron main in London in<br />

1746. The company held water in reservoirs in Hyde<br />

Park and Green Park and pumped water through an<br />

elaborate sysstems of canals which covered a large area<br />

of today's Pimlico. As the years marched by the water<br />

was becoming more and more contaminated and the<br />

Company installed the first Sand filtration operation to<br />

purify the water. Eventurally in the late nineteenth<br />

century the company became part of the Metropolitan<br />

Water Board. Numbered 'No.5' lower right.<br />

A satire on mid 19th century female fashion set in<br />

Cremorne Gardens, once a popular pleasure gardens by<br />

the side of the River Thames in Chelsea. A woman in a<br />

huge dress descends from a carriage, the driver above<br />

ensuring that his reins are well out of the way.<br />

Crinoline was originally a stiff fabric with a weft of<br />

horse-hair and a warp of cotton or linen thread. The<br />

fabric first appeared around 1830, but by 1850 the<br />

word had come to mean a stiffened petticoat or rigid<br />

skirt-shaped structure of steel designed to support the<br />

skirts of a woman’s dress in the required shape. The<br />

crinoline was the subject of much ridicule and satire,<br />

particularly in Punch magazine. Dress reformers did<br />

not like it either — they seized upon the cage aspect of<br />

the crinoline and claimed that it effectively imprisoned<br />

women. Given that the crinoline did eventually have a<br />

maximum diameter of up to 180 centimetres (six feet),<br />

it is easy to imagine difficulties in getting through<br />

doors, in and out of carriages, and the general problems<br />

of moving in such a large structure. The second<br />

problem was the potential impropriety of the crinoline.<br />

Its lightness was a curse as well as a blessing, as a gust<br />

of wind or a knock could set it swinging and reveal the<br />

wearer's legs. Even worse, if a woman tripped or was<br />

knocked over, the crinoline would hold her skirts up.<br />

Ranelagh Gardens, adjoining Wren's Chelsea<br />

Pensioner's Hospital, became popular as a place to<br />

escape the city and take in the cleaner air in Chelsea.<br />

Balls, concerts, dinners and of course gossip were<br />

shared here almost daily. It quickly exceeded Vauxhall<br />

in popularity, but it's popularity waned until the season<br />

of 1804 when the fashionable set abandoned it entirely.<br />

View of old Smithfield Market, with pigs and sheep in<br />

pens and figures, cattle and horses. The present<br />

Smithfield meat market on Charterhouse Street was<br />

established by an Act of Parliament: the 1860<br />

Metropolitan Meat and Poultry Market Act. It is a large<br />

market with permanent buildings, designed by City<br />

architect Sir Horace Jones, who was also responsible<br />

for Billingsgate and Leadenhall Markets. Meat has<br />

been traded at Smithfield Market for over 800 years,<br />

making it one of the oldest markets in London. A<br />

livestock market occupied the site as early as the 10th<br />

century.<br />

the Great Fire. It was still deemed unsafe by its<br />

parishioners and in 1680 the body of the church was<br />

rebuilt by Christopher Wren. Joshua Marshall had built<br />

the west tower over a decade before Wren designed the<br />

main body, and James Gibb added a spire in 1719.<br />

South west view of St Mary le Strand as proposed by<br />

the architect James Gibbs, which was not as completed.<br />

It shows a statue of Queen Anne above the portico<br />

which was abandoned on her death in 1714.<br />

St Mary-le-Strand was James Gibbs' first public<br />

building, the first of the fifty new churches built in<br />

London under the 'Commission for Building Fifty New<br />

Churches', at a cost of some £16,000. Building started<br />

in February 1715, but work was halted because of the<br />

Jacobite rebellion. Gibbs, a secret Catholic and widely<br />

believed to have Jacobite sympathies, was dismissed as<br />

Surveyor to the Commissioners for building New<br />

Churches in August 1715 but was allowed to complete<br />

the church without pay. The steeple was completed in<br />

September 1717, although the church was not<br />

consecrated for use until 1 January 1723. Gibbs<br />

complained about how the commissioners changed his<br />

plans, including the addition of the steeple, which<br />

meant Gibbs was 'obliged to spread [the church] from<br />

south to north, which makes the plan oblong, which<br />

should otherwise have been square'.<br />

foundation stone was laid by Whitefield in June 1756,<br />

and it opened for its dedication service on November<br />

7th of the same year. In 1890 the building was taken<br />

down and re-erected as Whitefield's Central Mission.<br />

On Palm Sunday 1945 the church building was<br />

new chapel was built in 1957, and the grounds became<br />

a public thoroughfare. Since 1976 the latest chapel has<br />

In 1669 Cosimo de Medici III travelled through various<br />

countries, including England. He had in his retinue an<br />

artist to record the places he saw and Count Lorenzo<br />

Magalotti, who was entrusted with creating a written<br />

collector of ancient Irish poetry and folklore. His work<br />

'South of Ireland' was translated into German by the<br />

Brothers Grimm. He was buried in Brompton<br />

Cemetery, London.<br />

'A few steps further northward, partly hidden from the<br />

road by intervening buildings, was the old house called<br />

Rosamund's Bower. Before its demolition in 1892 it<br />

was quaintly pretty, with leaded window-panes and<br />

red-tiled roof, and was then known as Audley Cottage.<br />

It was called Rosamond's Bower first in order to<br />

perpetuate the tradition of its standing on the site of a<br />

mansion of Fair Rosamund. The earliest mention of it<br />

is in 1480, when it was valued at ten marks per annum.<br />

It belonged to Sir Michael Wharton before 1725, and<br />

when he died in that year it was divided between his<br />

co-heirs. It was the residence of Mr. Crofton Croker<br />

Flavius Petrus Sabbatius Iustinianus, known in English<br />

as Justinian I or Justinian the Great (482/483 – 565),<br />

was Eastern Roman Emperor from 527 until his death.<br />

He is considered a saint amongst Eastern Orthodox<br />

Christians. Around 525 he married Theodora, who was<br />

by profession a courtesan about 20 years his junior.<br />

Justinian would have, in earlier times, been unable to<br />

marry her because of her class, but his uncle Emperor<br />

Justin I had passed a law allowing intermarriage<br />

between social classes. Theodora would become very<br />

influential in the politics of the Empire, and later<br />

emperors would follow Justinian's precedent in<br />

marrying outside the aristocratic class. The marriage<br />

caused a scandal, but Theodora would prove to be very<br />

intelligent, a good judge of character and Justinian's<br />

greatest supporter. By William Walcott R.E.(1874 -<br />

1943). Walcott was described by Furst as 'next to<br />

Brangwyn the greatest decorative etcher this country<br />

the Royal Academy, and exhibited his work their in<br />

1901. He worked for the White Star Shipping Line and<br />

served in the Royal Navy during WWI. It was his<br />

etchings and watercolours showing working life on the<br />

popularity. Later in his life he played an important role<br />

Orlando Norrie (1832-1901) was a popular and prolific<br />

painter of military subjects. He exhibited at the Royal<br />

Academy between 1876 and 1889 and had a studio at<br />

Aldershot to study his military subjects at first hand.<br />

The Sepoy Mutiny: On the morning of 11 May,<br />

mutineers stormed into the Red Castle in Delhi, killed<br />

what British officers they found, and begged Bahadur<br />

Shah, the aging Moghul king, to lead them. He knew<br />

the likely outcome, but felt compelled to cooperate. His<br />

sons quickly joined the uprising, Mirza Moghul taking<br />

command of the army. More sepoys in Delhi killed<br />

their British officers and joined the mutiny. After a few<br />

hours’ defense, the British blew up the magazine rather<br />

than have it fall into rebel hands. Most Europeans,<br />

living outside the city, fled for Meerut or Karnal. Fifty<br />

British civilians, including women and children, were<br />

held for a few days, then hacked to pieces when they<br />

refused to convert to Islam. The Britsh regained the<br />

city and showed very little mercy on their return. It<br />

lead to the downfall of the Moghul Dynasty.<br />

In the Battle of Fleurus (June 26, 1794) French forces<br />

under Jourdan defeated an Austrian army in one of the<br />

most decisive battles in the Low Countries during the<br />

French Revolutionary Wars. Both sides had forces<br />

numbering in the vicinity of 80,000 men but the French<br />

were able to more effectively concentrate their forces<br />

in order to achieve victory against the Austrians. The<br />

French use of the reconnaissance balloon<br />

'l'Entreprenant', seen in the sky upper right, marked the<br />

first military use of an aircraft that had decisive<br />

influence on the outcome of the battle. L'Entreprenant<br />

continuously informed Jourdan about Austrian<br />

movements.<br />

In 1662 William Barnston commissioned this Civil<br />

War window in his chapel in St. Chad's, Farndon,<br />

Cheshire. It commemorates the Royalist defenders of<br />

Chester. The artist obtained accurate details of dress<br />

and equipment from contemporary illustrations. You<br />

can see that the officers wear 'bucket-top' boots, while<br />

the musketeers, pikemen and musicians have breeches<br />

and stockings with garters tied in a bow. From left to<br />

right along the top are Sir Richard <strong>Grosvenor</strong>, Sir<br />

William Mainwaring and William Barnston, identified<br />

by their coats of arms. In the centre, Sir Francis Gamul,<br />

another of Charles's attendants at the Siege of Chester,<br />

stands in front of his tent, reviewing a fascinating array<br />

of military equipment. St. Chad's role in the Civil War<br />

is an exciting one. In 1643 it was used as barracks for<br />

his troops by Sir William Brereton, commander of the<br />

Cheshire and Lancashire Parliamentarian forces. The<br />

Parliamentarians needed to force a passage over the


Dee and invade the Royalist stronghold of Wales. On<br />

9th November some 2,000 Roundheads were<br />

assembled near the bridge, on which the Royalists had<br />

built a defensive gatehouse. On the opposite bank, the<br />

Royalists were well prepared, their ranks swelled by<br />

extra troops from Ireland. They rang the bells of Holt<br />

church backwards and lit beacons to warn of the<br />

invasion. Brereton distracted the defence by marching<br />

a detachment of his troops down river. Then a second<br />

division attacked the bridge with the full force of their<br />

grenades, and broke through. Both sides fought<br />

backwards and forwards along the bridge and as far<br />

back as Farndon churchyard. In the confusion of battle<br />

few even noticed that the church roof was ablaze.<br />

Brereton by-passed Holt Castle to take Wrexham and<br />

Hawarden. Although severely damaged, Farndon<br />

church remained a garrison until the winter of 1645,<br />

when advancing Royalists, led by Prince Rupert and<br />

Prince Maurice, forced the Roundheads to flee, after<br />

more heavy fighting, leaving the church derelict.<br />

heart of the great city.<br />

Florence Nightingale reformed hospital nursing during<br />

the 19th Century. She trained as a sick nurse and was<br />

invited to take nurses out to tend the wounded in the<br />

Crimean War (1854). Her sanitary reforms there<br />

lessened cases of disease. She was subsequently<br />

consulted by foreign governments at war as an<br />

authority on hospital administration and sanitation.<br />

the assault failed, the gallantry of Windham's conduct<br />

earned the warm commendation of General James<br />

Simpson, who had succeeded Lord Raglan in the<br />

command of the army in the Crimea. Extraordinary<br />

enthusiasm was aroused when the descriptions of the<br />

assault, written by the special correspondents of the<br />

and Windham became, in a moment, the best known<br />

and most popular man in his native country.<br />

This fine aquatint records the 'Little Belt Affair' on the<br />

night of May 16, 1811. It involved the American<br />

frigate USS President and the British sixth-rate HMS<br />

Little Belt, a sloop-of-war. The incident took place off<br />

Sandy Hook on the North Carolina coast. This action<br />

was one of many incidents and events that led to the<br />

War of 1812 between the countries. It was a mismatch;<br />

President sustained only one human injury while Little


Belt took ten deaths and 22 injuries, and the sloop was<br />

badly damaged in the attack. On the morning of May<br />

17th, American Lieutenant John Creighton went to<br />

Little Belt to apologize for the 'unfortunate affair' and<br />

to offer space at any of the 'Ports of the United States',<br />

which the British Commander Bingham declined.<br />

When Bingham asked why President had attacked his<br />

much smaller ship, Creighton claimed that it was<br />

because Little Belt had provoked the action. Bingham<br />

staunchly denied this account. President sailed to New<br />

York City, and Little Belt went to Halifax, Nova<br />

Scotia. The two nations continued to argue about how<br />

the battle began for several months.<br />

Joseph Cartwright (1789? - 1829), marine painter, was<br />

apparently a native of Dawlish in Devonshire, and was<br />

attached to the navy in a civil capacity. When the<br />

Ionian Islands came into the possession of the English,<br />

he was appointed paymaster-general of the forces at<br />

Corfu, which post he held for some years. On his return<br />

to England he published a volume entitled ‘Views in<br />

the Ionian Islands,’ and henceforth devoted himself to<br />

art, and especially to painting marine subjects and<br />

naval engagements. He exhibited many pictures at the<br />

Royal Academy, the British Institution, and the Society<br />

of British Artists, and obtained a great reputation in his<br />

particular line. In 1825 he was elected a member of the<br />

Society of British Artists, and in 1828 he was<br />

appointed marine painter to H.R.H. the Duke of<br />

Clarence, lord high admiral of England<br />

The British West Africa Squadron was established in<br />

1808. Its primary role being to suppress any activity by<br />

British slavers. It was also assigned for other activities.<br />

The squadron was to be ready for combat at sea, to<br />

blockade ports between Cape Verde and Benguela if<br />

necessary, to seize foreign slavers, and to protect<br />

legitimate traders.<br />

The Journal du Havre publishes the following report on<br />

the capture of the Gabriel, communicated by Captain<br />

Blay, of the Jeune Pauline, just arrived at Havre from<br />

Rio Janeiro:- ' The following was published in<br />

Edinburgh Oct/Nov, 1841. The English brig Acorn<br />

having, in lat. 5.N perceived at great distance a vessel<br />

pillaging another, made chase, and instantly the<br />

Gabriel hoisted all her sail, and endeavoured to escape.<br />

At three in the afternoon the Acorn fired, and the<br />

Gabriel returned the fire, at the same time hoisting<br />

Portuguese colours. The chase continued for 12 hours,<br />

during the whole of which time firing was kept up by<br />

both vessels, but eventually the Gabriel was dismasted,<br />

and captured.She was sent to St Helena, but her crew,<br />

consisting of fifty- eight men, Spaniards and others,<br />

were put on board an English vessel at Rio. The<br />

captain jumped overboard during the chase, with all his<br />

papers.The merchandise found on board the Gabriel<br />

was valued at 8000 pounds. The Acorn had not time to


ascertain to what country the vessel which was being<br />

pillaged by the Gabriel belonged, but she carried<br />

English colours. Captain Blay also reports that the<br />

English merchants resident at Rio have presented<br />

Captain Lecosannet, of the Roland, with a handsome<br />

gold chronometer and snuff box, and given to each of<br />

his crew a hundred francs, in testimony of the sense<br />

entertained of their humanity in saving the crew and<br />

passengers of the India.<br />

Captain Richard Budd Vincent (1770?-1831) was<br />

given command of the Arrow in 1802 and spent a year<br />

in the English Channel before being sent to the<br />

Mediterranean. By 1804 the Arrow was in bad shape,<br />

with rotting timbers, so she was sent home from Malta<br />

accompanying some merchant ships. When the two<br />

much larger French ships came across the convoy<br />

Vincent got his ship in between, allowing all but two of<br />

the convoy to escape. However both the Arrow and<br />

Acheron were lost. The court-martial on Vincent,<br />

standard practice when a captain lost his ship, not only<br />

‘most honourably acquitted’ him, but pronounced his<br />

conduct ‘highly meritorious and praiseworthy.<br />

victory of a British fleet under Admiral Sir George<br />

Rodney over a Spanish squadron under Don Juan de<br />

Lángara. It is also known as the Moonlight Battle,<br />

because it was unusual for naval battles in the age of<br />

sail to take place at night.<br />

By 1811 Napoleon controlled most of the mainland<br />

coast of the Adriatic. Britain however controlled the<br />

small island of Lissa (now Vis), near Split. Lissa was<br />

being used as a base by smugglers infiltrating British<br />

goods into Europe in defiance of Napoleon's<br />

Continental System, and by privateers preying on the<br />

coastwise trade. It was also the base of a small British<br />

squadron, likewise there to disrupt trade and<br />

communications. The island was thus a thorn in<br />

Napoleon's flesh in the eastern Mediterranean. A<br />

mixed flotilla of French and Venetian frigates<br />

commanded by Commodore Dubordieu, together with<br />

troops and transports approached the island with a view<br />

to invading and occupying it. A British frigate flotilla<br />

commanded by Capt. William Hoste intercepted the<br />

expedition and drove it off.<br />

A french frigate squadron led by Commodore Bernard<br />

Dubourdieu and based at Ancona had attempted to take<br />

Lissa the previous autumn, but had failed, having<br />

insufficient troops. Early in 1811, 500 additional<br />

Italian troops had been assigned, and Dubourdieu's<br />

squadron, with the associated transports, had sailed<br />

from Ancona on 11th March.<br />

HMS Daring was a 12 gun-brig of the Royal Navy<br />

built in Portsmouth Dockyard in 1844. She formed<br />

part of the 1844 Experimental Brig Squadron. The<br />

Experimental Squadrons of the Royal Navy were<br />

groups of ships sent out in the 1830s and 1840s to test<br />

new techniques of ship design, armament, building and<br />

propulsion against old ones. They came about as a<br />

result of conflict between the 'empirical' school of<br />

shipbuilding (led by William Symonds, Surveyor of the<br />

Navy), the 'scientific' school led by the first School of<br />

Naval Architecture (closed in 1832), and the<br />

'traditional' school led by Master Shipwrights from the<br />

A benefactor financed his studies in Thomas Sully's<br />

studio in Philadelphia. He visited Italy in 1819 and<br />

stayed in Europe for the next twenty years. In 1825 he<br />

moved to London but financial difficulties forced him<br />

to go back to America. Washington Irving, Percy<br />

celebrated sitters.<br />

Henry Holland (1746? - 1806), architect, was a relative<br />

of Lancelot Brown, to whose influence he probably<br />

owed his first architectural employment. In 1787, he<br />

was employed in designing Brighton Pavilion, and the<br />

following year began his principal work, the alteration<br />

and enlargement of Carlton House, Pall Mall, as a<br />

residence for the Prince of Wales.<br />

About 1780 Holland purchased a hundred acres of land<br />

in Chelsea, as a building speculation; he laid out<br />

Sloane Street, erecting the white brick houses there,<br />

Cadogan Place, and Hans Place, and erected a villa for<br />

himself in Hans Place (seen over his left sholder in the<br />

portrait). <strong>Part</strong> of the ground was afterwards occupied<br />

by Prince's Club, and the property has recently been<br />

almost entirely rebuilt.<br />

Holland died at his house in Hans Place on 17 June<br />

1806, aged about sixty. A marble bust of him by<br />

George Garrard (1760 - 1826), the animal painter and<br />

sculptor who produced this print in his memory, is<br />

placed at the entrance to the sculpture gallery at<br />

Woburn Abbey.<br />

George Garrard (1760 - 1826) was a painter who<br />

turned his attention to the making of casts and models<br />

of many subjects, but mainly of domestic animals. He<br />

was sponsored by the fifth Duke of Bedford, who was<br />

the first president of the Smithfield Club (founded hi<br />

I798), and by the third Earl of Egremont, as well as by<br />

other members of the Board of Agriculture. Garrard<br />

called his house in Hanover Square, London, 'The<br />

Agricultural Museum,' and from there he sold his<br />

paintings, engraving and models.<br />

Dr Samuel Johnson (1709 - 1784), lexicographer and<br />

Northcote tells a story about this print: "Doughty had<br />

engraved in mezzotint Sir Joshua's portrait of Doctor<br />

Johnson very finely indeed, and on his showing it to<br />

Sir Joshua it pleased him exceedingly, and he said, "I<br />

would advise you by all means to stick to mezzotint".<br />

Now this remark disconcerted poor Doughty very<br />

much; he made the mistake of thinking that the remark<br />

implied that he was not likely to succeed as a painter,<br />

though, I believe, Sir Joshua did not mean that."<br />

('Conversations of James Northcote with James Ward',<br />

ed. E. Fletcher, 1901, p. 232.) Johnson must have<br />

watched over this plate. In the second state Doughty<br />

had put "Dr Samuel Johnson". This was hastily<br />

changed to "Samuel Johnson LLD".<br />

instinct for grace of arrangement, atoned for want of<br />

originality and real power. With the death of Le Brun<br />

(1690) the situation changed. Mignard deserted his<br />

allies, and succeeded to all the posts held by his<br />

opponent. These late honours he did not long enjoy. In<br />

1695 he died whilst about to commence work on the<br />

Pierre Mignard (1612—1695), called 'Le Romain' to<br />

distinguish him from his brother Nicolas, was a French<br />

painter. He was born at Troyes, and came of a family<br />

of artists; he also needs to be distinguished from his<br />

nephew Pierre (1640-1725), often called 'Pierre II' or<br />

'Le Chevalier'. In 1630 he left the studio of Simon<br />

Vouet for Italy, where he spent twenty-two years, and<br />

made a reputation which brought him a summons to<br />

Paris. Successful with his portrait of the king, and in<br />

favour with the court, Mignard pitted himself against<br />

Le Brun, declined to enter the Academy of which he<br />

was the head, and made himself the centre of<br />

opposition to its authority. The history of this struggle<br />

is most important, because it was identical, as long as it<br />

lasted, with that between the old gilds of France and<br />

the new body which Colbert, for political reasons, was<br />

determined to support. Shut out, in spite of the<br />

deserved success of his decorations of the cupola of<br />

Robert Southey (August 12, 1774 – March 21, 1843)<br />

was an English poet of the Romantic school, one of the<br />

so-called 'Lake Poets', and Poet Laureate for 30 years<br />

from 1813 to his death in 1843. Although his fame<br />

tends to be eclipsed by that of his contemporaries and<br />

friends William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor<br />

Coleridge, Southey's verse enjoys enduring<br />

popularity.[citation needed] Moreover, he was a<br />

prolific letter writer, literary scholar, essay writer,<br />

historian and biographer. His biographies include the<br />

life and works of John Bunyan, John Wesley, William<br />

Cowper, Oliver Cromwell and Horatio Nelson. The<br />

latter has rarely been out of print since its publication<br />

in 1813 and was adapted for the screen in the 1926<br />

British film, Nelson. He was also a renowned<br />

Portuguese and Spanish scholar, translating a number<br />

of works of those two countries into English and<br />

writing both a History of Brazil (part of his planned<br />

History of Portugal which was never completed) and a<br />

History of the Peninsular War. Perhaps his most<br />

enduring contribution to literary history is the immortal<br />

children's classic, The Story of the Three Bears, the<br />

original Goldilocks story, which first saw print in 1834<br />

in Southey's novel, The Doctor.<br />

In 1819 Papal troops demolished the community of<br />

Sonnino, arresting several hundreds of prisoners. The<br />

men were detained in the Castel Sant’Angelo, whereas<br />

the women and children were held in a workhouse<br />

adjacent to the Thermes of Diocletian. After several<br />

months the Roman authorities could not maintain the<br />

women and children at such a high expense, so<br />

released them. Maria Grazia, whom was amongst<br />

these captives, became mistress of Schnetz and<br />

remained in Rome to make a long career of posing,<br />

Louis Philippe (6 October 1773 –26 August 1850) was<br />

King of the French from 1830 to 1848 in what was


known as the July Monarchy. He was the last king to<br />

rule France. Louis Phillippe ruled in an unpretentious<br />

fashion, avoiding the pomp and lavish spending of his<br />

predecessors. Despite this outward appearance of<br />

simplicity, his support came from the wealthy middle<br />

classes. At first, he was much loved and called the<br />

"Citizen King" and the "bourgeois monarch," but his<br />

popularity suffered as his government was perceived as<br />

increasingly conservative and monarchical. Under his<br />

management the conditions of the working classes<br />

deteriorated, and the income gap widened<br />

considerably. An economic crisis in 1847 led to the<br />

citizens of France revolting against their king again the<br />

following year. On February 24, 1848, during the<br />

February 1848 Revolution, to general surprise, King<br />

Louis Philippe abdicated in favor of his nine-year-old<br />

grandson, Philippe. Fearful of what had happened to<br />

Louis XVI, Louis Philippe quickly disguised himself<br />

and fled Paris. Riding in an ordinary cab under the<br />

name of "Mr. Smith", he escaped to England.<br />

According to The Times of March 6, 1848, the King<br />

and Queen were received at Newhaven, East Sussex<br />

before travelling by train to London.<br />

The National Assembly initially planned to accept<br />

young Philippe as king, but the strong current of public<br />

opinion rejected that. On February 26, the Second<br />

Republic was proclaimed. Prince Louis Napoleon<br />

Bonaparte was elected President in December; a few<br />

years later he declared himself president for life and<br />

then Emperor Napoleon III.<br />

Louis Philippe and his family lived in England until his<br />

death in Claremont, Surrey. He is buried with his wife,<br />

Amelia (April 26, 1782–March 24, 1866), at the<br />

Chapelle Royale, the family necropolis he had built in<br />

Jean-Frédéric Phélypeaux, comte de Maurepas (1701 -<br />

Versailles, the son of Jérôme Phélypeaux, secretary of


state for the marine and the royal household. Maurepas<br />

succeeded to his father's charge at fourteen, and began<br />

his functions as minister of the royal household at<br />

seventeen, while on August 16, 1723 he undertook the<br />

actual administration of the navy, a position he held<br />

until April 23, 1749. Although essentially light and<br />

frivolous in character, Maurepas was seriously<br />

interested in scientific matters, and he used the best<br />

brains of France to apply science to questions of<br />

navigation and of naval construction. He was disgraced<br />

in 1749, and exiled from Paris for an epigram against<br />

Madame de Pompadour. On the accession of Louis<br />

XVI in 1774, twenty-five years later, he became a<br />

minister of state and Louis XVI's chief adviser, a<br />

David Zeisberger (1721-1808) was a Moravian<br />

missionary who lived with the Delaware Indians in<br />

Pennsylvania during the 1760s. In 1781, during the<br />

American Revolution, the British arrested Zeisberger<br />

and charged him with treason, but he convinced the<br />

authorities of his neutrality and was released. During<br />

his imprisonment many of his native converts were<br />

murdered by American militia, the Gnadenhutten<br />

massacre, of March 8, 1782.<br />

The painter was Christian Schussele (1824-79).<br />

Portrait of Dirck Janszoon Scholl (1640/41 - 1727) at<br />

the


age of 58. Scholl was an organist, carillonneur and<br />

composer. He must have received his early musical<br />

training from his father, Jan Scholl, who was<br />

carillonneur at Brielle. In 1661 Scholl was appointed<br />

organist and carillonneur at St. Eusebius, Arnhem,<br />

where he also became a member of the local collegium<br />

musicum. In 1665 he moved to Delft and worked at the<br />

Nieuwe Kerk as organist and carilloneur.<br />

Besides, he played the harpsichord and the viola da<br />

gamba and composed various chamber music, certainly<br />

performed by his collegium musicum in Delft. Scholl<br />

was also active as a carillon and organ expert and<br />

inspected instruments all over the country.<br />

(Walton-on-the-Naze 21 December 1783 – 16 July<br />

who became Governor General of the Province of<br />

Canada and Lieutenant Governor of Canada West<br />

(November 26, 1845 – January 30, 1847). Having<br />

obtained his majority on 14 May 1807, he saw service<br />

in the Walcheren Expedition in 1809, taking part in the<br />

siege of Flushing, after which for some time he was<br />

disabled by the injurious effects of the pestilence which<br />

cut off so many thousands of his companions.<br />

Becoming lieutenant-colonel on 30 August 1810, he<br />

embarked for the Peninsula, where he was present in<br />

the battles of Barossa, for which he received a gold<br />

medal on 6 April 1812, of Salamanca, and of Vittoria,<br />

during which he served as assistant quartermastergeneral.<br />

He was next sent to assist Lord Lynedoch in Holland as<br />

the head of the quartermaster-general's staff, and was<br />

afterwards present at Waterloo, where he greatly<br />

distinguished himself, having three horses shot under<br />

him. For his services he received the Russian order of<br />

St. Wladimir, the Dutch order of St. Wilhelm, and was<br />

made a C.B. on 4 June 1815. He was colonel of the<br />

11th hussars, 1842–7, of the 3rd dragoon guards,<br />

1847–51, of the 1st dragoon guards, 1851 to his<br />

decease, and a general in the army, 20 June 1854.<br />

Sir George Cathcart (1794-1854), English soldier, third<br />

son of the 1st Earl Cathcart, was born in London on the<br />

12th of May 1794. He was educated at Eton and<br />

Edinburgh University. In 1810 he entered the army,<br />

and two years later accompanied his father to Russia as<br />

aide-de-camp. With him he joined the Russian<br />

headquarters in March 1813; and he was present at all<br />

the great battles of that year in Germany, and of the<br />

following year in France, and also at the taking of<br />

Paris. The fruits of his careful observation and critical<br />

study of these operations appeared in the<br />

Commentaries on the war in Russia and Germany<br />

1812-1813, a plain soldier-like history, which he<br />

published in 1850. After the peace of 1814 he<br />

accompanied his father to the congress of Vienna. He<br />

was present at Quatre Bras and at Waterloo, as an aide-


de-camp to the duke of Wellington. He was recalled to<br />

active service in 1838, and sent as commander of the<br />

King's Dragoon Guards to Canada, where he played an<br />

important part in suppressing the rebellion and<br />

pacifying the country. In 1844 he returned to England,<br />

and two years later was appointed deputy-lieutenant of<br />

the Tower, a post which he held up to the time of his<br />

promotion to major-general in 1851. In March 1852 he<br />

succeeded Sir Harry Smith as governor and<br />

commander-in-chief at the Cape, and brought the<br />

Kaffir war, then in progress, to a successful conclusion.<br />

He promulgated the first constitution of Cape Colony,<br />

and conducted operations against the Basuto. Cathcart<br />

was made a K.C.B. and received the thanks of both<br />

Houses for his services (1853). In December 1853 he<br />

was made adjutant-general of the army, but never<br />

entered upon his duties, being sent out to the Crimean<br />

War as soon as he arrived in England. He was even<br />

given a dormant commission entitling him to the chief<br />

command in case of accident to Lord Raglan, and the<br />

highest hopes were fixed on him as a scientific and<br />

experienced soldier. But these hopes were not to be<br />

fulfilled; for he fell at the battle of Inkerman<br />

(November 5, 1854). His remains, with those of other<br />

officers, were buried on Cathcart's Hill. Sir George<br />

Cathcart married in 1824 Lady Georgiana Greville,<br />

who survived him, and by whom he had a family.<br />
