Small tax paid stamp to the front cover - not affecting text. In excellent condition for age. Mary Vint / Say is a fascinating character. She married the publisher Charles Green Say, who produced three regular newspapers. When he died in 1775 she continued to publish alone. She later remarried becoming Mary Vint, but continued as a female newspaper proprietor! She was prosecuted for libel several times and in 1781 sentenced to six months in prison for libelling the Russian ambassador. Following libels of William Pitt in 1788, there were debates in parliament and she was prosecuted once more. Despite this, she continued publishing, eventually dying in 1832. 355 by 240mm (14 by 9½ inches).

Le journal se termine par des listes d'officiers devant être traduits devant la cour martiale et des listes de décès et de mariages. Et bien sûr, une publicité pour les pilules anti-vénériennes du docteur Harvery ! Un résumé fascinant de la vie en Angleterre en 1810. 8 pages. Propre et bien rangé, avec juste quelques petites entailles sur les bords des pages, et quelques légères rousseurs. Petit timbre fiscal sur la couverture avant - n'affecte pas le texte.

Lorsqu'il mourut en 1775, elle continua à publier seule. Elle s'est ensuite remariée, devenant Mary Vint, mais a continué à être une femme propriétaire de journal ! Elle a été poursuivie plusieurs fois pour diffamation et, en 1781, condamnée à six mois de prison pour avoir diffamé l'ambassadeur de Russie. À la suite de diffamations de William Pitt en 1788, des débats ont eu lieu au parlement et elle a été à nouveau poursuivie. Malgré cela, elle continue à publier et meurt en 1832. 355 x 240 mm

Our collection, on high quality woven paper, are all highlighted in red and white. These do not have the captions. They have been tipped onto art paper. with borders around the engravings. Inevitably there is light to moderate foxing throughout the work. There is no title page or titles to any of the works. However, we have managed to identify a number of them as relating to Napoleonic subjects, teaching Greek's to handle weapons, marauding soldiers. Many feature animals, a favourite subject of Vernet. Many of the scenes picture hungry solders hunting for food, such as that entitled "Ce n'est pas un lapin, non c'est le chat!" Recently bound up in half leather with title to the spine. marbled boards. 24 pages. The engravings vary in size, but generally around 16 cm x 22 cm. The pages are 27cm x 40.5cm. Horace Vernet, (1789-1863), was a French painter of battles, portraits, and Orientalist subjects.

    . Une excellente collection de lithographies de luxe d'Horace. Elles ont été publiées vers 1823 par Delpeche. La plupart des exemplaires que nous pouvons voir sont dans l'"édition commerciale" qui est en noir et blanc, et qui a des titres en dessous de l'impression. Notre collection, sur papier tissé de haute qualité, est surlignée en rouge et blanc. Elles n'ont pas de légende. Elles ont été transférées sur du papier d'art, avec des bordures autour des gravures. Il y a inévitablement des rousseurs légères à modérées dans l'ensemble de l'ouvrage. Il n'y a pas de page de titre ou de titres pour aucune des œuvres. Cependant, nous avons réussi à identifier un certain nombre d'entre elles comme ayant trait à des sujets napoléoniens, à l'apprentissage du maniement des armes par des Grecs, à des soldats en maraude. Nombre d'entre elles mettent en scène des animaux, un sujet de prédilection de Vernet. De nombreuses scènes montrent des soldats affamés en train de chasser pour se nourrir, comme celle intitulée "Ce n'est pas un lapin, non c'est le chat !". Reliure récente en demi-cuir avec titre au dos, plats marbrés. 24 pages. La taille des gravures varie, mais elle est généralement de 16 cm x 22 cm. Les pages mesurent 27 cm x 40,5 cm. Horace Vernet, (1789-1863), était un peintre français de batailles, de portraits et de sujets orientalistes.
