JAMES GILLRAY (BRITISH 1756-1851) THE VALLEY OF THE SHADOW OF DEATH Etching and aquatint with original hand-colouring Published by Hannah Humphrey, 1808 Sheet: 27 x 39cm (10½ x 15¼ in.) Condition Report: It is not possible to examine the work out of its frame as the mounts are all sellotaped to the glass, and there is a risk of the glass breaking. It is presumed that the sheet is not laid down but stuck to the mount at the corners. The sheet appears to have been trimmed to the edge of the plate, and as a result is causing some undulation throughout. There is some discolouration to the sheet, however the hand-colouring pigments are still strong. There is some isolated brown staining to the left and right edges. The bottom half of the sheet appears to have some water-staining which is most noticeable to the white bear.  Condition Report Disclaimer

Designed by Charles Noke, Mephistopheles and Marguerite is a striking double-sided porcelain figurine produced by Royal Doulton between 1925 and 1949. The figure cleverly depicts two characters in one: the infernal apparition Mephistopheles cloaked in vivid red and black, and the serene Marguerite, adorned in an ivory gown with gilt accents and holding a golden prayer book. This dramatic contrast may have been inspired by the 1928 aquatint etching Faust: Devil and Woman by French artist Louis Icart. This early edition is marked with the green Royal Doulton backstamp and inscribed Potted by Doulton & Co. Measures approximately 8"H.Dimensions: See DescriptionCountry of Origin: EnglandCondition: Age related wear.

Jonathan Fisher (c 1740-1809) (Circle of) “Landscape with Cattle,”  O.O.C., c. 1770, 48cms x 64cms. (1) In a wooded valley, two cows rest at the edge of a lake, beyond which can be seen a weir, with a river in the distance. There are steep cliffs on either side of the valley, and the smoke rising from a cottage chimney is reflected in the still waters of the lake. The composition is Claudean, with craggy cliff in the left foreground mirrored with tall trees on the right. In the far distance can be seen a mountainous landscape, dotted with trees. While this painting has all of the attributes of an autograph Jonathan Fisher, there are telling details, such as the two men in the foreground, and the cottages in the middle distance, that suggest it is a copy, or perhaps based on a landscape by Fisher. Born in Dublin, Jonathan Fisher was largely self-taught as an artist. In 1763, while living in Dame Street, he was awarded a premium of ten guineas for a landscape, and the following year he moved to Great Ship Street. He sent several pictures to the first exhibition of the Society of Artists, held in George’s Lane in 1765, and was a regular contributor until 1801. In 1768 he was awarded the Dublin Society’s prize for best landscape. His patron, John, first Earl of Portarlington, himself an amateur artist, stayed in Fisher’s house when in Dublin. In 1770 Fisher published six large views of Killarney, engraved after paintings by himself, including The Eagle’s Nest, The Canal between the Lakes, O’Sullivan’s Cascade and the Lakes of Killarney. Two years later he published views of Carlingford, Rostrevor and Narrow Water Castle. He also published small views of Irish cities, including Kilkenny, Cork, Belfast and Waterford. In 1789 he published a portfolio of engravings A Picturesque Tour of Killarney. In 1792 Fisher began work on the series of prints, Scenery of Ireland illustrated in a series of prints of select Views, Castles and Abbies, drawn and engraved in Aquatint by Jonathan Fisher.

Musschenbroek was one of the most influential advocates of Newtonianism on the Continent, who further developed Newton's natural philosophy and dealt with physical problems that were left unaddressed by him. ‘In an attempt to find an anaesthetic less irritating than ether, Simpson discovered the advantages of chloroform.’ This summary by Simpson was published in the 20 November 20 1847 issue of the Lancet, just ten days after he first reported his experience with chloroform as an anaesthetic in a self-published pamphlet. This issue contains the original report (pp. 571-572) from St. Bartholomew's Hospital on ‘Surgical Operations Performed upon Patients Rendered Insensible to Pain by the Inhalation of Chloroform’, which includes reports of the operations that William Lawrence and Edward Stanley performed in which chloroform was used.
