Broadside Menu. Notes, of the Diet, at Hoghton, at the King's coming there, 1617, [privately printed by Sir Henry Hoghton], circa 1790, printed broadside with drop-head title and four columns within typographic ornamental border, a few old related bookseller's pencil notes to upper right corner and now partially indistinct, some mostly marginal dust-soiling and light creasing, a few mostly closed tears with minor paper loss to upper left corner and large pin hole to lower left corner beneath final line of letterpress, 34 x 25 cm (Qty: 1)NOTESIn August 1617 King James I and his retinue made a return journey from Scotland to London, progressing through the length of Lancashire. One stopping place was at the mansion of Sir Richard Hoghton, where the royal party stayed from 15 to 18 August. The monarch was accompanied by his favourite George Villiers, 1st Duke of Buckingham and by the Earls of Pembroke, Richmond, Nottingham and Bridgewater, et al. The broadside here records the food eaten at Sunday's dinner, Sunday night's supper and Monday morning's breakfast on 17-18 August. Among the extravagant offerings are 'swan roast, one, and one for to-morrow', 'heron's roast cold', 'curlew pye cold', 'hot pheasant, one, and one for the King', 'quails, six for the King', 'neats feet', 'umble pye', 'pear tart', 'custards', etc. At the end of the lavish menu listings the names of the cooks and labourers are also given. It was at this feast according to one local legend that the King tasted a joint of beef so good that he famously knighted it, the beef loin henceforth being known as 'Sir Loin'. This exceedingly rare broadside predates two other rare versions printed by Thomas Walker at Preston in 1804 and by George Houghton at Chorley in 1844.

The engraving by the Bristol engraver John Doddrell of Temple, Bristol (d.1810). In 1775, William Watts, a plumber, started converting his house, near St Mary Redcliffe Church, into the world's first shot tower, in order to make lead shot by his innovative tower process. He did this by adding a tower to his house, and by excavating a shaft into the ground below, achieving a total drop of around 90 feet (27 m). By 1782, the tower was complete and in production, and Watts' process was granted a patent, which involved pouring molten lead through a perforated zinc pan into water below. William Watts was declared bankrupt in 1794, but his tower survived various changes of ownership until it was taken over by the Sheldon Bush and Patent Shot Company Limited in 1868. The tower remained a well-known feature of Redcliffe until 1968, when it was demolished to make way for road improvements.

Following the battle of Waterloo in June 1815 this desire was expedited: '... this desire would probably have remained long ungratified, had not an event little apparently to be expected, the spoliation of the Louvre and of the Library by the allied troops, presented no other alternative than that of its being gratified at once or for ever abandoned. It fortunately happened that at this time Mr Phillips was in Yarmouth, kindly awaiting the return of Mr and Mrs Hooker from Ireland; and few persuasions were necessary to induce a man so truly attached to an art in which he is just eminent, to cross the Channel once more, to take a look, however hasty, at the treasures of the collected avowedly unrivalled and now about to be dispersed, most probably for ever. For my own part I felt but too happy to place myself under the guidance of such a friend; and, as the shortness of our time would allow of very little being done, I prepared myself for the journey looking to no other object than that of improving my judgment in works of art by listening to his observations. Little therefore will be found in this journal, except on such subjects; and, tho' the name of Mr Phillips will not be formally appended to each remark, it must be understood, that for almost every one I am indebted to him. The resolution once formed, no time was to be lost in carrying it into execution: every day brought accounts of fresh pictures being taken away; the rapidity with which the work proceeded was equalled only by the secrecy in which the intentions of the sovereigns were involved; the delay even of an hour might give occasion to long regret. We had therefore scarcely determined on our plan, when on the 24th Septr. we seated ourselves in the Mail for London, where we stopped only for a few hours, just to allow my companion time to make some arrangements at home, during which interval I waited on Sir Josh. Banks, and saw Mr West's painting of Christ before Pilate and a collection of pictures now on sale at Pall Mall.' The journal begins from London to Brighton, then Newhaven to Dieppe, Rouen, and then the journey to Paris and Versailles, before returning to Calais.
