Damer, Anne Seymour, 1748 or 9-1828. Scrapbooks, [not after 1830].

Title: Scrapbooks, [not after 1830].

Two scrapbooks containing a collection of mostly 18th century engravings and etchings, some of which are purported to have belonged to Horace Walpole, organized thematically. In addition there are four original drawings, including a watercolor and wash drawing of the Neapolitan painter Luca Jordano signed by J.B. Catenaro, an unsigned portrait in red crayon of Cornelius Jansen, a pencil portrait of an unknown woman, and another small pencil drawing of a landscape. The first volume contains etchings and engravings of English villages and rural scenes including the farm house and printing house at Strawberry Hill and two vignettes of Strawberry Hill; scenes in Surrey and Twickenham; etchings of Roman scenes; portraits of eminent historical and contemporary political figures. The second volume begins with a series of 192 small French engravings of women, which document the hair styles and hat fashions in the 17th and 18th centuries, all engraved by Dupin or Desrais. A second series of the 48 engravings from Wenceslaus Hollar's Theatrum mulierum depict the costumes of 17th century women (mostly) in Europe. These prints are followed by 29 of C. Heath's small engravings of prominent British politicians and writers of the 18th century. The final pages include several other miscellaneous portraits of contemporary British and French figures as well as the plates drawn and engraved by Henry Moses for A series of twenty-nine designs of modern costume published in London by E. and C. M'Lean in 1823.

Hollar, Wenceslaus, 1607-1677. Kyngeston vpon Hvll, [circa 1642, with manuscript revisions circa 1681].

Title: Kyngeston vpon Hvll, [circa 1642, with manuscript revisions circa 1681].

Engraved aerial view of the city of Hull (circa 1642), with additions in pen and black ink. The engraved portion includes a bird's-eye view of the city, together with a view (across the top) of the city as seen from the Humber estuary, and a small inset map of the region surrounding Hull, including parts of Lincolnshire, Yorkshire, and Nottinghamshire. Both views of Hull offer detailed depictions of city buildings, along with the two forts guarding the harbor and a number of ships on the Humber. The manuscript additions are made in pen and ink, probably by Sir Martin Beckman (d. 1702), the engineer in charge of the improvements at Hull in 1681-1682. The revisions are drawn directly on the sheet of paper to which the engraving is mounted; the lower portion of the engraving (not mounted) may be lifted up to reveal the proposed fortification changes underneath.
