* Carington Bowles, publisher. Welladay! Is this my son Tom! [and] Be not amaz'd Dear Mother - It is indeed your daughter Anne. 1773 & 1774, a pair of mezzotint drolls after 'Grimm', both with bright contemporary hand colouring, thread margins, each approximately 345 x 245 mm, framed and glazed in uniform near contemporary stained wooden frames, with contemporary label 'Samuel Pitt, Appraiser, Auctioneer, Carver, Gilder, Looking Glass and Picture Frame Manufacturer, High Street, Dudley' to verso (Qty: 2)NOTESA pair of humorous mezzotints which expose the generational reactions to the new 'French Style' of dress and adornment. A farmer and his wife react in horror and astonishment at the appearance of their son and daughter who have returned from a trip to France or an English city where French dress was in vogue. Both of them have huge exaggerated wigs with a small hat balanced on top of their hairpieces. The 'Macaroni' dress of the young man is set of with a large cane and 'man-bag' and he carries a sword whose purpose seems purely to serve as an aid to keeping his hat on. The young lady has a monstrous wig and is accompanied by a black servant who carries a small furry dog. Her dress is low cut and exposes much of her bust and out of her décolletage emerges a large bunch of flowers. The fashionable excess of the Macaroni were an easy target for the satirist and needed little if any exaggeration.
Europe. Bohn ( Francois ), Europa volgens de nieuwste verdeeling , Haarlem, circa 1794, engraved allegorical map with contemporary hand colouring, old folds, 250 x 180 mm (Qty: 1)NOTESMercator's World, IV, 1 (The Female Landscape). The allegorical map shows Europe as a regal queen, but this anti-Napoleonic image demotes Europa from a virgin queen to a homely middle-aged housewife. The figure is superimposed over a map that includes a surprising amount of detail. Spain & Portugal comprise her head, Italy is her left arm, stirring with her right arm (Corsica and Sardinia) in a pot (Sicily). Her scarf forms the British Isles, and the rest of the continent is encompassed in her flowing dress.

Scarlet cloth with blue velvet collar and cuffs and blue cloth edging to fronts and skirts. The collar edged with gold oak leaf embroidery, and bearing panels of oak and bay leaves; embroidery of similar nature to cuffs and skirts. Gilt buttons struck with KC and “1” above the reversed ‘LG’ monogram. Good quilted silk lining bearing tailor’s label named to Lt. Col. E.B. Cook, 1 L.Gds. Black crepe arm-band.

Cloak fastens at neck with small gilt chain with gilt Grenade ornament at each end. Fine vivid red lining throughout. Very minor moth damage. (2 items) Lieut.-Col. Edwin Berkeley Cook, MVO, son of an 11th Hussars Balaklava veteran, was educated at Eton and entered the 1st Life Guards in 1890, rising to command of the regt. in Nov. 1910. He subsequently commanded the Composite Regt. of Household Cavalry which joined the B.E.F.. On 21st October 1914 he was wounded in action at Messines and died of his wounds on 4th November. There are several small differences in the tunics of the 1st and 2nd Life Guards, including a blue skirt-lining for 1LG and scarlet for 2LG. Although Dress Regs. describe the officers’ cloaks as scarlet, they were in fact of a more restrained, deeper red colour.
2nd Life Guards Officer’s Full Dress Tunic.A scarce pre-amalgamation Troop Officer’s example. Scarlet cloth with blue velvet collar, cuffs and edging to fronts and skirts. The fronts of the collar bearing patches of oak and bay leaves in gold embroidery. Gauntlet cuffs with embroidered loops and six squares of embroidery to back-skirts. The regimental buttons bear Royal Crest over numeral “2” and flanked by “L” and “G”. 8 such buttons in front, the lower 6 of these being OR’s buttons of same pattern (very old replacements, possibly in service). Fine quilted silk lining. Minor traces of wear, otherwise GC. Attached to the shoulders by ribbon-ties is a fine and massive pair of plaited gold shoulder-cords of the Life Guards each bearing two Garter Star rank badges in silver embroidery and a button of the Life Guards. The right hand cord extends to form an aiguillette with two plain loops and two long plaits terminating in ornate gilt metal tags with worked wire heads, Scarlet lining and attachment ribbons. Among minute differences from 1st Life Guards, there is stitching along the tunic edges (as mentioned in Dress Regulations).
Officer’s Frock Overcoat, attributed to 2nd Life Guards.A fine example of this extremely elusive and barely recorded uniform. Massive blue cloth, double-breasted, with turned-back notched collar. One-inch black mohair braid edging to collar, fronts, sleeves and backseams. Four loops of the same braid each side in front, the left-hand ones with single olivets. Shoulder-straps edged with narrow braid and bearing two embroidered Garter stars. Black quilted lining. Medal ribbons include those of the India Medal 1896, Queen’s Sudan Medal, Queen’s South Africa Medal and Khedive’s Sudan Medal. Minimal moth damage, otherwise VGC ... together with a 2nd Life Guards scarlet dummy front for wear with this type of coat, with blue velvet collar, gold oak leaf lace and gilt studs, to give the appearance of a regimental stable jacket worn under the coat. (2 items) The frock overcoat, which was worn mainly in the early years of the 20th century by a few other regiments as well as the 1st Life Guards, was never mentioned in Dress Regulations. Nevertheless, that of the 1st life Guards appears in a drawing by T.H. Holding in his book on Military tailoring (published in 1894) which mentions no other examples. The coat shown in his illustration is broadly similar but some details differ from the one offered above. It seems quite possible that the coat offered belonged to the 2nd Life Guards. However, the dummy front is undoubtedly 2nd Life Guards as it has a blue velvet edging to the regimental gold lace, which is specifically noted in Dress Regulations and was a feature unique to the 2nd Life Guards.
