The Fat Boy from Pickwick Papers – Comic Victorian Print by “Kyd” after Dickens Description: This original chromolithograph from circa 1889 features “The Fat Boy,” one of the most iconic comic characters from Charles Dickens’s *The Pickwick Papers* (1836–37). Rendered in full color by the celebrated British caricaturist Joseph Clayton Clarke, better known as “Kyd,” this image captures the drowsy servant of Mr Wardle in all his sleepy, portly glory. The Fat Boy is a humorous character remembered for his insatiable appetite, constant dozing off, and deadpan responses. His most famous line—“I wants to make your flesh creep”—has amused generations of Dickens readers. In this illustration, he stands with a dazed, indifferent expression, hands tucked into his coat pockets, and his impressive girth accentuated by the tailored blue uniform and tall black boots...

An atmospheric oil painting depicting a seaside with sunlit high sand dunes in the forefront and in Stark contrast a dark stormy sky in the background with seagulls overhead. Small sailing ships can be seen in the distance. Climbing the dunes is a shepherdess and her small flock of sheep grazing on meagre offerings along the dunes. A young couple can also be seen sitting on the beach in the background. The painting is in its original carved and gilded frame. Signed James Webb and dated 18_7 on the bottom right hand corner of the canvas. Why the artist omitted the "decade" digit and put an underscore instead is a mystery. The painting is set in an intricately carved gilded frame which has been professionally restored. James R Webb...

Antique Map Set of India, Two Sheets from Black’s General Atlas, Bartholomew 1884 This detailed two-sheet map of India was published in the New and Revised Edition of Black’s General Atlas of the World, issued in Edinburgh in 1884 by the well-known Scottish publishing house A. & C. Black. When placed together, the two maps form a comprehensive representation of the Indian subcontinent during the late nineteenth century, a period when British India dominated much of South Asia. The maps were prepared under the direction of the celebrated cartographer John Bartholomew, whose work helped define the high standards of Victorian atlas production. Bartholomew’s maps were admired for their clarity, accuracy, and refined engraving, combining scientific geographic information with a visually elegant presentation. His work for Black’s atlases became widely respected across Europe and the British Empire and remains highly collectible today. The first sheet illustrates the northern regions of the subcontinent, including the Punjab, Kashmir, Afghanistan frontier, Nepal, Bhutan, and Tibet. The immense Himalayan mountain system is rendered with fine engraved relief, while the plains of northern India reveal an intricate network of rivers, cities, and administrative divisions. Provincial boundaries and political regions are clearly delineated using printed color typical of late nineteenth-century atlas cartography. The second sheet depicts southern India and the Deccan Plateau, extending to the southern tip of the peninsula and including the island of Ceylon, now Sri Lanka. Major cities such as Bombay, Madras, and Calcutta appear prominently, while countless smaller towns, railways, and rivers are engraved throughout the landscape. The surrounding waters of the Arabian Sea, Bay of Bengal, and Indian Ocean are clearly marked, and the map also includes offshore island groups such as the Laccadive Islands and the Andaman Islands. Because the maps originate from a major nineteenth-century atlas, the engraving is crisp and densely detailed, containing thousands of place names that document the administrative and geographic structure of British India at the time. Together the two sheets create an impressive large-scale cartographic view of the Indian subcontinent, making the set both historically significant and visually striking. These maps are ideal for collectors of antique cartography, historians of the British Empire, or interior designers seeking a dramatic geographic statement for a study, office, or library wall. It is not a modern reproduction. Any presentation images showing the prints framed are for visual inspiration only. The maps are supplied unframed. Condition: Very good antique condition. Light age toning and minor handling wear consistent with age. Original center folds visible as issued in the atlas. Small tears at the lower split. The paper remains strong and the printed colors remain clear and attractive. Framing tips: The two sheets frame beautifully as a vertical pair or as a stacked presentation showing the full subcontinent. A generous ivory or museum-white mat combined with a dark walnut or ebonized frame creates a refined and classic presentation suitable for libraries, offices, or sophisticated interiors.

Title: Antique English Botanical Print – River Water-Dropwort, Elegant British Botany c.1902 Description: This original hand-colored botanical engraving depicts River Water-Dropwort, scientifically known as Oenanthe fluviatilis, a graceful aquatic plant native to Britain and parts of Europe. The print originates from English Botany; or, Coloured Figures of British Plants, Third Edition, edited by John T. Boswell Syme and published in London by George Bell & Sons in 1902. The illustration is based on the authoritative work of James Sowerby and J.E. Sowerby, whose botanical plates are widely admired for their combination of scientific accuracy and refined visual balance. River Water-Dropwort is shown here in a characteristic aquatic form, with finely divided submerged foliage and more compact flowering structures above the waterline. The plate carefully illustrates the plant’s hollow stems, umbels of small pale flowers, and the distinctive fruits and seed forms used for identification. This species is also sometimes referred to simply as Water-Dropwort or Floating Water-Dropwort, reflecting its riverine habitat and adaptability to flowing water. The composition blends detailed line work with subtle hand coloring in soft greens and muted natural tones. Additional botanical details, including stem sections and fruit studies, surround the main figure, creating a visually engaging yet calm layout. The generous margins and vertical format make this print especially suitable for interior display, whether as a standalone piece or combined with related water-plant subjects. It fits beautifully into classic interiors, libraries, studies, or modern spaces seeking a quiet botanical or natural-history accent. This print appeals to collectors of antique botany, lovers of British wildflowers, and interior designers looking for authentic botanical art with understated elegance.

Ottoman Eunuch Costume Print, Hand-Colored Engraving, 1749 Description: A refined and highly decorative original hand-colored engraving depicting a White Eunuch of the Ottoman court, dated 1749. This elegant figure is shown in full ceremonial dress, wearing a tall, richly ornamented headdress and layered robes rendered in soft green tones with delicate detailing. The composition is characteristic of mid-18th century European costume studies, where figures are isolated against a clean background to emphasize the richness and structure of the garments. The engraving captures both the dignity of the subject and the European fascination with Ottoman court life during this period. The subtle hand coloring enhances the engraved linework without overpowering it, resulting in a balanced and sophisticated palette that works exceptionally well in modern interiors. The generous margins and visible plate mark further confirm the authenticity and quality of the impression. A highly decorative and historically engaging piece, ideal as a standalone accent or combined within a curated wall of costume prints. Interior mockups shown are for inspiration only. The print is an original antique and is sold unframed. Condition: Very good condition. Light age toning and minor spotting in the margins. Strong impression with original hand color. Plate mark clearly visible. Framing tips: Best presented in a dark walnut or ebonized frame with a wide ivory mat. Works beautifully as a single statement piece or in a vertical grouping. Technique: Engraving with original hand color Maker: Thomas Jefferys, London, 1749 Keywords: ottoman eunuch print, white eunuch engraving, ottoman costume, antique costume print, 18th century engraving, turkish costume print, oriental costume engraving, ottoman court figure, historical dress print, decorative antique print, jefferys engraving, exotic costume art, museum style print, collectible engraving, ottoman empire art

This print is from 'The Military Costume of Turkey. Illustrated by A Series of Engravings. From Drawings made on the Spot. Dedicated by Permission to His Excellency the Minister of the Ottoman Porte to his Britannic Majesty.' London, Published by Thomas M'Lean, Haymarket, (1818). Folio. One of 29 fine handcoloured aquatint plates . Very light offsetting from plate. The original accompanying text of this print is as follows: 'THE Capitan Pacha has the supreme command of the Turkish Navy, in which he has the appointment of all the principal officers. His power also extends over the islands of the Archipelago, where he sails every Spring for the purpose of receiving the capitation tax. The Turkish navy is chiefly navigated by Greek sailors, whilst Turkish soldiers are embarked for the purposes of attack and defence. The thirtyfirst ortah, or regiment, of Janizaries, whose symbol is an anchor, are chiefly employed for this last purpose, which therefore bears some analogy to our marine corps. The great height between the decks of the Turkish men...
