19805249France: S.P. C1980. First edition / original artwork. Anonymous and unsigned. An original water colour illustration of a fox watching himself or his neighbours through a complex system of pipes. The work appears to be a piece being prepared for a publication. There are pencil grid lines to the the edge. The "splatter effect" on the wall also continues beyond the pencil margin of the page although doesn't affect the sign so applied where the artist wanted. Although virtually finished on close inspection the fox figure may not have been completed or may be intended to be a black and white figure. A little edgewear to the top right corner. A surreal scene. 50cm x 35cm. . Première édition / œuvre d'art originale. Anonyme et non signée. Illustration originale à l'aquarelle d'un renard s'observant ou observant ses voisins à travers un système complexe de tuyaux. L'œuvre semble avoir été préparée pour une publication. Il y a des lignes de quadrillage au crayon sur le bord. L'effet d'éclaboussure sur le mur se prolonge également au-delà de la marge de crayon de la page bien qu'il n'affecte pas le signe il a donc été appliqué là où l'artiste le souhaitait. Bien qu'elle soit virtuellement terminée en y regardant de plus près la figure du renard n'a peut-être pas été achevée ou est peut-être destinée à être une figure en noir et blanc. Le coin supérieur droit est légèrement usé. Une scène surréaliste. 50cm x 35cm. S.P. unknown

A beautifully-bound scarce anti-Catholic pamphlet. References: Wing 1996 V725; ESTC No. R7957. ~PPP~ A first edition copy of the 1681 broadside issued anonymously by the radical Whigs during the Restoration period in England containing a series of Whig-oriented petitions to the members of the Oxford Parliament. The principal theme of these petitions was stated as 'No Popish Successor no French Slavery.' Though purporting to speak for 'the people' the anonymous author makes clear that this does not refer to the 'hoi polloi' but rather to citizens of some means. In the preface the author notes that 'some people have lately spoken contemptuously of the populace calling them the rabble . . . the dregs of mankind.' These terms are applied to 'persons without estates' who are assumed to be without 'reason and judgment' but he argues he is writing on behalf of 'men of large estates well-bred gentlemen merchants . . . and rich and substantial yeomen and freeholders.' The Restoration of the English monarchy began when the English Scottish and Irish monarchies were all restored under Charles II after the Interregnum that followed the Wars of the Three Kingdoms.
