Chronological Portraits of the Kings of Spain – Large Engraved Suite, Rome c.1700 This impressive engraved suite presents a chronological portrait history of Spain, tracing political authority on the Iberian Peninsula from Roman imperial rule through the Visigothic period, the medieval Christian kingdoms, and the Habsburg monarchy, concluding with Charles II of Spain. The series is conceived as a visual narrative of Spanish sovereignty rather than a generic collection of rulers. It begins with Roman emperors closely connected to Hispania, including Trajan and Hadrian, and continues through late antiquity, the Visigothic kings, the Reconquista, and the consolidation of Spain under Castile, León, Aragón, and the Habsburg dynasty. Together, the sheets form a coherent regnal sequence spanning more than fifteen centuries of Spanish history. Each sheet is structured as a carefully balanced grid of oval portrait medallions, framed by architectural borders and accompanied by concise Latin texts. The portrait style is derived from classical and numismatic sources, lending the series a timeless, authoritative character. The monochrome engraving, strong linear structure, and repetition of form give the set considerable decorative impact, making it particularly suitable for libraries, studies, hallways, or large wall installations. The engravings were produced in Rome around 1700, within the tradition of learned historical illustration intended for collectors, scholars, and institutions. The presence of intentionally blank medallions at the end of the sequence reflects the original concept of an expandable dynastic history and underscores the intellectual ambition of the project. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a large, visually unified Spanish royal portrait series that combines strong interior appeal with serious historical depth.

Presented is an original fox hunting print signed by the artist, Frank Algernon Stewart (1877-1945). This print depicts one of England’s most famous fox hunting events, the Bicester and Warden Hill Hunt. The scene depicts six men on horseback galloping across a field in mid-hunt. All coloring is still intact, with lush green fields and bright riders’ jackets. As evidenced here, Stewart’s renderings of horseback hunts are some of the most celebrated and collected in the world. The beginnings of the Bicester Hunt started around the 1790s when John Warde Esq. bought a set of hounds and hunted in the Bicester area, with the main kennels located at Bainton. He hunted for 18 seasons. The first master of the Bicester Hunt was Sir Thomas Mostyn...
