89944South Germany late 19th century. . 9 watercolours each framed and glazed overall size: 440 x 633mm 17¼ x 25 inches.<br /> Attractive collection of unusual drawings for silverware items most probably made by the prestigious WMF factory. Württembergische Metallwarenfabrik better known as the WMF factory has been a tableware manufacturer since 1853. By 1900 the firm had become the world's first producer and exporter of metallic products mainly inspired by the style of Jugendstil and Art nouveau. Their 3-letter logo has since been associated with refined silverware and premium cutlery.<br /><br />These charming watercolours include drawings of champagne flutes trays teapots gravy boats plates coffee pots and sugar bowls. All the drawings use a base of various shades of black white and grey to represent the bulk of the piece. The smaller details are vividly coloured such as the gilt tint of the inner parts the light blue reflection of crystal the brown of teapot handles and the pink green and yellow of the refined and lively motives covering one of the tea sets. Each has a caption written in German giving a description of the item including its weight and series number. All of the pieces are adorned with beautiful motives representing flowers curved lines laurels and ancient patterns.<br /> [South Germany, late 19th century]. unknown

Archival mat window mylar sheet.</p> <p>An unrecorded 18th century broadside commemorating Sir Lancelot du Lake and Sir Tarquin’s hand-to-hand combat battle.</p> <p>The sheet was sold to tourists at Tamworth Castle in Tamworth Staffordshire where a 16th century mural on the castle’s Great Wall depicted the fight. The mural was whitewashed over in 1783. Friends of Tamworth Castle and Museum</p> <p>The broadside states: “If Travellers who pass that way Tamworth Castle On Serjeant Willcox call He to this Day can shew these Knights Fighting against a Wall.†Prefatory text wraps around a woodcut of Sir Tarquin falling to the ground mortally wounded by Lancelot. </p> <p>Based on Thomas Deloney’s The Noble Acts newly found Of Arthur of the Table Round the verse has has 144 lines consisting of 36 hymnal stanza quatrains.</p> <p>A lesser-known character in Arthurian lore Tarquin had imprisoned 44 knights of King Arthur’s court. When Lancelot confronts him Tarquin at first does not recognize him as the slayer of his brother:</p> <p>"“If thou be of the Table Round Quoth Tarquin furiously Both thee and all thy Fellowship I utterly defy. / Tarquin that’s over bold reply’d Du Lake courageously; Then clapping Spurs unto their Steeds They at each other fly. /. Both wounded were and bled full sore For breath they both did stand. Leaning upon their Swords awhile Quoth Tarquin Hold thy hand /. Why that’s well said quoth Lancelot then Thy motion likes me well; But who’s this Knight thou so do’st hate. His name I pray thee tell / His name quoth Tarquin is Du Lake He slew my Brother dear… / Strait at each other like two Boars They both enraged fly; And two long Hours by Tamworth They fought most furiously. / The Ground besprinkled was with gore Long Time was hard to say Which of these knights the bravest was Or which would win the day; / Till Lancelot with one mighty Stroke His foe did so assail That Tarquin stagger’d and his strength Therewith began to fail; / With loss of blood he then grew faint Which when Sir Lancelot found With all his Force a blow he gave Which brought him to the Ground. / Then forthwith taking off his Helm Smiting his Neck in twain His Body and his Bason threw Into the River Tame. /.

146304<p>Np. Norwich England 1760s. Broadside. 12½ x 8½ inches. Laid paper; printed in two columns. Superscription “Third Part†in manuscript written above title. Old fold lines; staining; some losses to paper at edges not affecting text; good.</p> <p>Unrecorded eighteenth century polemical broadside in the tradition satirist Ned Ward or the mock poem Hudibras. </p> <p>While the present broadside includes only a few lines of poetry like Hudibras it appears to describe a religious controversy between a “Methodist Grub-Street Printer†named Don Dismallo Thickscullo de Halfwitto and another printer Dicko-Don-Quacko.The broadside reports that the printers’ dispute was also carried out in dueling newspapers the eighteenth century equivalent of an internet “flame war.†</p> <p>That the dispute was ongoing seems to be implied in the manuscript addition written at the top of the broadside: “Third Part.†The broadside states:</p> <p>"The Methodists and their Printer having erected their Battery of Lampoonary against the Printer of the Paper call’d Helter Skelter He hereby declares a Paper War against all Dicko Don Quack’s Mendicant Crew…"</p> <p>A mention of a work printed by the “Methodist Grub-Street Printer†concerning Pondicherry may well help to date the broadside to after 1761 when British forces in India defeated the French at Pondicherry. An account of a legal dispute between two printers found in a 1768 English literary annual The British Palladium may well shed light on the controversy outlined in the present broadside and suggests a possible place of publication Norwich England. The account begins:</p> <p>"An eminent Printer in the City of Norwich was once personally aspersed by a single Quack distributing Hand-bills against him in that city who as a Remedy for his Disorder brought out a Pamphlet cried about the Streets intitled The History of Dicko Don Quacko Liliano Brazenfaciano who instead of considering it as a wholesome Remedy for his Evil took Offence at his Prescriber insisting on his being misnamed and misrepresented. In consequence whereof a Trial was appointed to come on before a certain Judge…"</p> <p>The tradition of such fantastically named characters hearkens back to Samuel Butler’s Hudibras 1663 1664 and 1678 and to Four Hudibrastick Canto’s Being Poems on Four the greatest Heroes That liv’d in any Age since Nero’s Don Juan Howlet Hudibras Dicko-ba-nes and Bonniface 1715 sometimes attributed to Ned Ward.</p> <p>Unrecorded eighteenth century satirical broadside concerning the press and the growing influence of print culture in England.</p> <p>Not in ESTC.
