Rare contemporary manuscript copy of this early and important source for the history of Sienese art. Circulated in manuscript form only amongst a very small number of antiquaries and cognoscenti, the work was not published in print form until a modern edition appeared in 1992 with the title "Racconto" del Duomo di Siena (Florence: Edam). It is mentioned in positive terms by the 18th-century author and historian Guglielmo della Valle (c.1740-1794) in his Lettere sanesi ... sopra le belle arti (1782-6, volume 2, pp. 32-3): 'Lo stile è de' più purgati del secolo: le descrizioni sono esatte; i giudizi fondati sopra monumenti per lo più incontrastabili'. Alfonso Landi is believed to have been born around 1585. The Racconto, or narrative of the famous Cathedral of Siena describes its decoration by some of the most important artists of the Italian Renaissance - including Nicola and Giovanni Pisano, Donatello, Pinturicchio (the remarkable series of frescoes adorning the Piccolomini Library), Lorenzo Ghiberti, Beccafumi and Michelangelo.

General Election of 1747. Merlin, Or, the British Enchanter, printed for John King at The Globe in the Paltry, and John Tinney at The Golden Lion in Fleet-Street; and sold at the Print and [Pamphlet Shops], circa 1747, engraved and printed broadside on laid paper, satirising the General Election of 1747, torn with a little loss to upper and lower right corners, affecting one or two printed words or letters, some minor fraying with very slight loss to top margin, partially affecting one or two letters, light soiling at head and foot, 48.5 x 21.5 cm (15.2 x 8.5 ins) (Qty: 1)NOTESESTC online (London). Not in Foxon. Rare. A satire on the General Election in Great Britain held in late June and July of 1747, which resulted in a healthy majority of 144 for the Whig government. The Tory opposition was reduced to its lower number ever, largely due to the impact of the Jacobite Rebellion. The engraving depicts the Prime Minister's government as "his honour's pack ass", laden with revenue from Customs & Excise, and land tax, from which the tree of Government corruption and influence has grown. The title refers to Queen Caroline's famous pavilion at Richmond Gardens, known as Merlin's Cave, which was designed as a political allegory of the times, and became a subject of ridicule in the press subsequently.
