c1730. . Manuscript poem attacking Walpole's conciliatory policies against Spain. Begins by proposing a copper plate showing 'three English Saylors' drawing a Spanish dustcard, the British lion rearing up to attack but 'Sir R. W...le' pulling him back by the tail. 12 verses of 9 lines each, presenting the government as kow- towing to and appeasing 'Don Diego'. Mentions 'Hosier the brave', Admiral Francis Hosier, who as Vice Admiral at the blockade of Porto Bello in 1726 was ordered not to fight the Spanish and take the port: 'When our Fleets were equipped you must certainly know/By him they were hindred from striking a blow/Thus Hosier the brave/Was sent to his grave/On an Errand that better had fitted a slave'. On four sides folio, in a neat hand, with some amendments. The second page has some wear and splits which have been repaired with archival tape. A strip of paper has been torn away, approx. 4" long, resulting in loss of the last word in six lines. Some very small edge tears. --- Please e-mail for one of my FREE CATALOGUES which include GENERAL [ Manuscripts, Maps, Ephemera, Views, etc., etc. ] ---

Description:
Exeter: Flindell [Printer] Single sided printed broadside, approximately 175mm x 220mm in size, n.d. c.1820? Quite bright and clean. The full title is 'Wanted Immediately, Many Thousands, to Pay Off Old Scores and New Ones. For Which Purpose an Auction Will be Held of All That Inn Famous Concern, Situate in Bampfylde-Lane, at the Sign of the Great Cann, in the Parish of Spreyton, for Sale of the Undermentioned Live and Dead Stock'. The printer is probably Thomas Flindell fl. 1812-1824 (see BBTI). Relating mainly to local politicians ('Bampfylde-Lane' presumably relates to Sir Charles Warwick Bampfylde, an Exeter MP between 1796 and 1812), there is also a mention of 'a large lot of White Hats on dirty poles', which presumably relates to Henry Hunt who was famous for wearing a white hat. The individual disguised as, 'One Old Poltimore [a village in Devon] Cock, without spurs, having Chicken by various Hens', remains unknown to this cataloguer. First Edition. Unbound. Good+. 8vo. Broadside.

Description:
London, 1740.. Engraving with hand-coloring, 14 x 8 3/4 inches. Minor soiling. Color quite bright and fresh. Very good. A satire against French Cardinal Fleury, Chief Minister to Louis XV, published during the frenzy of celebrations over Admiral Vernon's victory over the Spanish at the Battle of Porto Bello - an enthusiasm which the Cardinal apparently did not share. Fleury was an ally of Robert Walpole, whose power was in decline and had reluctantly agreed to hostilities with Spain. Fleury is seen here seated, reaching out toward a medallion of Admiral Vernon and holding a scroll which reads, "His iron will get ye better of my gold" and "G-d, he'll take all our acquisitions in America." On the wall behind him are several small crude illustrations, one of which appears to be a portly Walpole hanging from a gallows above the slogan, "No matter if he is longer than ye gallows." A head sits atop a pole, perhaps alluding to the fact that many people would be pleased to see Walpole's head positioned thus.…

Description:
[Netherlands, 1780. Engraving, 10 x 15 inches (plate mark) on a sheet 13 1/2 x 17 3/4 inches. Very minor soiling. Fine. Matted. This cartoon shows a wealthy Dutch merchant at center, surrounded by several artisans and tradespeople, all gathered around a trunk full of money bags. The central merchant figure empties coins into the apron of an artisan, while he holds up an unfriendly and dismissive hand toward a group of foreign nationals with bonds and treaties of alliance - Great Britain, France, and possibly America, are all represented. To the left, a man is being fitted with "Oeconomische Brillen" or "economic glasses," a reference to the Dutch ability to see profit even in war. Behind the central figures gathered around the money chest, a woman with a spear, possibly the figure of Britannia, leads a column of men. In the foreground, the Dutch lion attacks England, in the form of a dog, upon which stands an angry rooster, symbolizing France. In the background, a temple containing Liberty is being…
