In excellent condition. Trimmed as usual and mounted on washline background. Mounting sheet is watermarked laid paper. Image size: 14 7/16 x 20 5/8 inches. A charming seaside view by Samuel Ireland the engraver and collector connected with the infamous Shakespeare forgeries.<br/> <br/>Ireland was a minor engraver and publisher who worked in London at the close of the eighteenth century. He was an avid art and manuscript collector and many of the works that he engraved and published were after pieces found in his own collection. This romantic view is after a painting by DeVlieger which was in Ireland's collection at the time. This image operates as both an example of the picturesque tradition in eighteenth century landscape prints and as an advertisement and promotion of Ireland's celebrated collection. With this image Ireland presents himself as both a serious engraver and a respected collector. Unfortunately today Ireland is better remembered for his involvement in the Shakespeare forgeries than for his evocative prints. Over a period of many years Ireland's son William Henry sold his father a series of forged manuscripts which he claimed to be written in Shakespeare's hand. Ireland who willingly trusted his son added these forgeries to his collection and presented them in an exhibition to the literary community who accepted them as genuine. The charade progressed so far that an invented play entitled 'Vortigern' which William Henry had written and presented as a missing work by Shakespeare was performed at Sheridan's Drury Lane theatre by some of the leading actors of the age. When the hoax was eventually discovered Ireland's reputation was ruined and his son was disgraced. This print is from the famed Oettingen-Wallerstein collection which was compiled over two centuries by various members of the royal household. The collection is known for its stunning impressions and the immaculate condition of its prints.<br/> <br/>Dictionary of National Biography; Lugt Les Marques de Collections Supplement 2715a.

Oblong duodecimo paperbound stiff stapled thick pages unpaginated 20 pp. Very Good with minor foxing age darkened spotting to cover; filled in completely and neatly. From Foreword by the Home Secretary: This series of A. R. P. cigarette cards shows in clear pictures some of the things that the Government and the Local Authorities are working out for the protection of the general public and also some of the things that each member of the public can do for himself in time of emergency. As Home Secretary I am responsible for a Home Defence Service which might affect the life of any person in the country and I therefore welcome these cigarette cards for the manner in which they bring home to the householder and his family what they can do for themselves. Air Raid Precautions are not mysterious. They are based on commonsense suggestions and the essential things recommended cost very little and demand ingenuity and improvisation rather than expenditure. Even some of the more elaborate recommendations can be carried out quite easily in co-operation with a neighbour. I commend a study of these cards to your attention. unknown books

9141Ireland nd. First Printing. Very Good/Good. Two show minor edge wear else bright and clean; one was mailed shows creases closed tear writing at rear stamp else bright. 3"x5". Illus. b/w plates. <br/><br/>Three uncommon postcards with engravings of the secret operation of 24-25 April 1914 in Larne. "The Larne gun-running was a major gun smuggling operation organised in April 1914 in Ireland by Major Frederick H. Crawford and Captain Wilfrid Spender for the Ulster Unionist Council to equip the Ulster Volunteer Force. The operation involved the smuggling of almost 25000 rifles and between 3 and 5 million rounds of ammunition from the German Empire with the shipments landing in Larne Donaghadee and Bangor in the early hours between Friday 24 and Saturday 25 April 1914. The Larne gun-running may have been the first time in history that motor-vehicles were used "on a large scale for a military-purpose and with striking success"." The true significance of the operation for the Unionist movement is debatable but it remains a matter of pride and an example of heroism. It did provoke a response of more direct significance when Erskine Childers organized the Howth gun running of June 1914. The 900 guns that he brought into County Dublin were subsequently used in the 1916 Easter Rising and Home Rule ceased to be a matter of debate. One card is used bearing George V stamp. unknown books
