15993Both engravings published on 2 October 1826 by S. & J. Fuller 34 Rathbone Place London. The two engravings in good condition with light signs of age and with 'A Faint Impression' with some offsetting in light pink not entirely displeasing. Both headed above the image 'Casualties of London Street Walking' with the title and publication details below the image. ONE: 'A Faint Impression.' Dimensions: image 23.5 x 18.5 cm; plate 27 x 20 cm; paper 29 x 22 cm. A fight outside a hat shop between two boys one holding a tray of meat and the other a wooden board with food and drink results in the light soiling of the clothes of an indignant middle-aged couple the man in top hat whiskers and breeches and the woman in bonnet and frills. The amused milliner looks on from the doorway of his shop. TWO: 'A Strong Impression.' Dimensions: image 24 x 19 cm; plate 27.5 x 21.5 cm; paper 28.5 x 22.5 cm. A confrontation in front of a printshop between a chimneysweep and a boy selling pies has more serious consequences for another couple more sharply dressed than the last. The gentleman in cutaway jacket has his trousers badly soiled by the falling chimneysweep's bag of soot while the lady receives a bag of pies in the face from the other boy. Two gentlemen and the printseller look on horrified. Uncommon: the only copies found are coloured ones in the Guildhall Library London and London Metropolitan Archives. See Image sl. too large for scanner. Both engravings published on 2 October 1826 by S. & J. Fuller, 34 Rathbone Place, London. hardcover

26439Petition dated from London February 1833. Despite a recent book by Miles Macnair supporting Serre's claims the case for her imposture is overwhelming as her entry in the Oxford DNB demonstrates. See also the various reports of the matter for example Ryves v. Duke of Wellington Law Times 31 October 1846. 23pp. foolscap 8vo. On six loose bifoliums of laid paper with 1833 Britannia watermark of Gilling & Alllford. Good on lightly aged and worn paper. Folded into the customary packet and docketed on reverse of last leaf 'Copy Letter to the King from the Princess Olive'. Note that this is not how such a document would have been described had the recipient been a royal representative. Clearly a draft with a number of lacunae and a few emendations in another hand in pencil. The document and its ‘signature’ do not appear to be in Serres’ autograph: they do not resemble other examples consulted for example the manuscript offered for sale at Sotheby’s in London in July 2009. The few pencil annotations are in another hand and although more like are still not likely to be in her hand. Written in the year before Serres' death and apparently unpublished. The first page is headed 'A letter to the Kings Most Excellent Majesty' and begins; 'Sire The high opinion I wish to Cherish that your Majesty when truth claims your attention will do no wrong induces this public appeal to your justice for the consideration and redress of my unprecedented wrongs which I have from Year to yr patiently & degradingly submitted to rather than lay open to the English Nation the true Cause of the desertion and neglect of my late Royal Parents Relatives'. The document ends with the petition pp.21-23 headed: 'To the Kings Most Excellent Majesty The dutiful and humble petition of Olive Princess of Cumberland - London Feby 1833.' It begins: 'Sheweth That your Petr altho she is the legitimate Daughter & Sole Heir of his late Royal Highness Henry Frederick Duke off Cumberland by her Royal Highness Olive his first and lawful Wife is disposed of all her Birthrights except her rank & name of her late Royal Parents'. The petition claims that she 'lawfully proved in the prerogative Court in the month of June 1822' a 'Bequest of his late Majesty George. the 3rd of £15000'. Petition dated from London, February 1833. unknown

22357Letter: 'Weddnesday sic Morg.' 2 June 1819; from 8 Upper John Street Golden Square. Translations without date or place. Tabeeb was a fêted 'exotic' visitor to England at the end of the Regency period. In March 1819 the Asiatic Journal reported his presence in London and on 6 June four days after the present letter he breakfasted with the Irish poet Thomas Moore who reported in his diary that he was 'to take a Diploma of Doctor at Oxford this month'. In April 1820 a fine engraving of Tabeeb after a painting by John James Hall was published. In September 1820 the London magazine La Belle Assemblee printed a letter describing the English in complimentary terms written by 'Meerza Jiafer Tabeeb Persian physician who had been sent by his Royal Highness the Prince Abbas Mirza Bey Prince of Persia to this country to study the practice of physic and who has now returned to his own country'. Three items from an album compiled by Lady Ann Cullum 1807-1875 wife of Sir Thomas Gery Cullum 1777-1855 of Hardwick House. In the letter and calling card Tabeeb's name has a macron over the 'a' of 'Jiafer' LETTER: 1p 12mo. In fair condition lightly aged with wear at one corner and water staining at head with traces of mount adhering to reverse. The letter reads: 'Meerza Jiafer Tabeeb presents his respectful Compliments to Lady Cullum and is very sorry to say that he is obliged to attend Mr. Brande's lecture the celebrated chemist William Thomas Brande 1788-1866 at Royal Institution tomorrow morning at Nine Oclock therefore he begs to put off his breakfasting for some other morning.' TRANSLATIONS: 1p landscape 8vo. In fair condition aged with water staining to one corner. Folded three times. Addressed on reverse 'To Lady Cullum.' The only other writing on that side preceded by a small heart is 'Seeing Friends gives Brillany sic to the Eye'. The first of the quotations is preceded by an asterisk and the second by a cross suggesting that the Persian original may have originally accompanied them. The first reads: 'I saw my moon-like love in the garden: she was gathering roses. The thorn of the rose wounder her hands but she only laughed. I asked her the cause of her laughter: she replied “the rose cannot bear to see any thing superior to itself.' The second reads: 'O Beloved of my heart I cannot say whether you are the sea or the moon. Is it your face or a rose which I see: is it light which dazzles me or is it your neck.' CALLING CARD. 3.75 x 7.5 cm. Laid down on the last item beneath the second quotation. In fair condition with vertical fold line. The name 'Meerza Jiafer Tabeeb' engraved in copperplate and centred on the card. Beneath this at bottom left Tabeeb has written his signature in Persian script and at bottom-right he writes the address '30 Golden Sqr.' Letter: 'Weddnesday [sic] Morg.' [2 June 1819]; from 8 Upper John Street, Golden Square. Translations without date or place. unknown
