James Abbott Mc Neill Whistler PRBA (American, 1834-1903), Limehouse, London etching and drypoint on ivory laid paper with wide margins, signed in the plate "Whistler" and dated 1859, signed and inscribed in pencil in the margin "A Madame Coronio homage respectueux J Whistler" 5 x 7 7/8in. (12.7 x 20cm.) * Eighty two known impressions of all states. This is the rare third state of six showing the reduction of the slanting shading on the bow of the barge, vertical shading lines now being prominent. This etching was produced by Whistler as a trial before he produced the fourth state which was published in The Thames Set in 1871. ** References: (K.40) Edward G. Kennedy, The Etched Work of Whistler, New York, The Grolier Club, 1910. (G48). Margaret F. MacDonald, Grischka Petri, Meg Hausberg, and Joanna Meacock, James McNeill Whistler: The Etchings, a catalogue raisonné, University of Glasgow, 2012. *** Provenance: Gift from the artist to Aglaia Coronio (1834-1906). Aglaia Coronio (nee Ionides) was the wife of Theodore John Coronio. She was the sister of Helen Euphrosyne Ionides who married Whistler's brother Dr William Mc Neill Whistler. Their father was the wealthy Greek merchant and collector Alexander Constantine Ionides. Aglaia Coronio, like the rest of her family, collected works of art and she bought a number of Whistler's paintings. Exhibition of 19th and 20th Century Masters; Etchings and Lithographs. The Leicester Gallery, London, November 1965. Situated on the north bank of the Thames opposite Rotherhithe, Whistler was looking east away from Wapping and has depicted the Harbour Master's House closest to him. Further away is The Grapes pub and Broadway Wharf is in the distance. In the distance is an advertisement for the Curtis Gin Distillery Co. Ltd. Narrow Street backs on to this stretch of the Thames. Whistler turned to the subject of the River Thames in the summer of 1859 and Limehouse was one of the areas that he depicted. The area was dangerous and infested yet the artist appreciated the picturesque disrepair of the wharfs and warehouses that lined its banks. He also depicted the working men whose lives were intimately connected to the river and placed them in the foreground where they could not be seen as incidental to the scene. The Thames set was published in 1871 by Ellis and Green as part of 'Sixteen Etchings of Scenes on the Thames and Other Subjects'. Impressions were also later available through The Fine Art Society and the artist himself.

Elias followed his father’s interest in directing the erection of steam machinery. ESTC T80696; M. Ron, Bibliotheca Tinctoria, p. 36. 1. A very nice copy of a work of great rarity, the first comprehensive work on the subject to be published in English. ESTC locates five copies in the UK and four copies in North America. The original German book that made up part I of The Whole Art of Dying was the 1703 edition of a book originally published in 1685, Ars Tinctoria Experimentalis, oder curieuse Wollkommene Endecken der Faerbe-kunst . The second part is a translation of the 1683 German work Ars Tinctoria Fundamentalis, oder Gründliche Anweisung zur Färbenkunst , which was itself a translation of Colbert's 1669 work, Instruction genérale pour la teinture des laines et manufacture de laine de toutes couleurs et pour la culture des drogues ou ingrediens qu'on y emploie . It was this work which established ‘a standard for the French (later also for other European nations) dye industry. It gave both practical instructions and legal regulations on sizes, quality, and practices, together with a law, promulgated in 1669’.

Johnson (Charles). A General History of the Lives and Adventures of the Most Famous Highwaymen, Murderers, Street Robbers, &c. from the famous Sir John Falstaff in the Reign of K. Henry IV, 1399 to 1733. To which is added a Genuine Account of the Voyages and Plunders of the most Notorious Pyrates. Interspersed with diverting Tales, and pleasant Songs, printed for and sold by Olive Payne, 1736, A-6K2: title, single leaf of introduction, 3-484, unnumbered index leaf at end, 26 engraved plates (including frontispiece) by Basire, Bowles, Toms, Pritchard and Atkins after Joseph Nicholls and William Jett, title printed in red and black, wide-margined copy, sheet size 37.5 x 24.5 cm (14.75 x 9.6 ins), occasional light spot to margins (generally a very good, clean copy), all edges gilt, gilt ruling to inside covers, gilt-decoration to edges of covers, fine early-19th-century full straight-grained brown morocco gilt by Fairbairn & Armstrong, with binder’s stamp to gutter of inside front cover, oval coat-of-arms of George Agar Ellis to centre of each cover, additional bookplates of Theodore Williams, Charles George Milnes Gaskell and Cortlandt F.

His ‘Splendid and Valuable Library’ was sold over 15 days in April 1827 by Stewart, Wheatley & Adlard. Honourable George Agar Ellis, 1st Baron Dover (1797–1833). Charles George Milnes Gaskell (1842–1919), English lawyer and Liberal Party politician. Cortlandt Field Bishop (1870–1935), American pioneer aviator and book collector. ESTC T112552; NMM IV 275; Sabin 36195. Nothing is known of the author Captain Charles Johnson, whose name is thus generally regarded as a pseudonym. The work has been attributed to Daniel Defoe, although this was rejected most recently by P. N. Furbank & W. R. Owens (Defoe De-Attributions, 1995, 458). Arne Bialuschewski argues that there is significant evidence that A General History was written by Nathaniel Mist, a sailor, printer and journalist of the early eighteenth century, who also employed Defoe to work on the publication of his Weekly Journal: or, Saturday’s Post. The 1724 first edition was registered with the Stationers Company on 24 June ‘for Nathaniel Mist’.(See Daniel Defoe, Nathaniel Mist, and the General History of the Pyrates, Papers of the Bibliographical Society of America ,volume 98, number 1, March 2004, pp. 21-38). Adapted from two earlier collections, Alexander Smith’s History of the Lives of the Most Noted Highwaymen (1714), and Charles Johnson’s own General History of the Robberies and Murders of the Most Notorious Pyrates (1724), the present work provides the best information on the lives and careers of some of the most famous pirates of the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, including Jonathan Wild, Jack Sheppard, Edward 'Blackbeard' Teach, Anne Bonny, and Calico Jack, and displays an accurate knowledge of both sea language and the pirate code. Attractive gilt extra binding by Fairbairn & Armstrong, who dissolved their bookbinding business in 1824.
