2pp., 12mo. Bifolium with mourning border. In good condition, lightly aged and worn, with the blank second leaf tipped-in onto a leaf from an album. His only excuse for 'the long delay' is 'that all my time has been occupied in taking stock, which necessarily has been a most irksome job'. It will be the following month before he can 'put forth an appendix to my Catalogue, as it will be necessary for me to wait the coming event of something, that I may, or may not be engaged in.' He will have time 'to consider & reconsider' Huggins's 'advertisement'. He concludes on the subject of the Soane Museum (near to his premises): 'everything remains a mystery, when I can hear of any of their doings, I shall immediately apprise you of them'. See the two men's entries in the Oxford DNB.

T. J. Irvine R.N. and his daughters which you will have the goodness to send for. What do you think of my sending my [.] painting of the Battle of Camperdown, it will make a show and I might get a chance of selling of it - if so the society should have the usual percentage, if put in good light it would attract a great many persons to see it. I will send it, and hang it, and take it away without putting the society to any expense [.]". - With collector's note to backing paper and some brownstaining.

"South Sea Whale Fishery." Aquatint engraving made in 1825 by Thomas Sutherland after a painting by William John Huggins official Marine Painter to his Majesty. Size: 43,2 x 55,9 cm. "A representation of the Ships Amelia Wilson and Castor off the Island of Bouro with their Boats and Crew in the various processes of Fishing, shewing the manner the Spermacetti Whales are caught, also the mode of cutting them into the Ship, and Boiling the Oil upon the Deck." The view illustrates the South Sea Whale Fishery, expressing the excitement, richness, romance, and brutality of the whaling trade. In this image the sailors of the HMS Amelia Wilson battle with numerous sperm whales with the island of Buru (Indonesia) in the background. The English southern whale fishery, commencing from London in 1775, was conducted primarily in the mid to south Atlantic, but by the mid-1790s it had moved to the Pacific and Indian Oceans. Initially, the move was limited to the areas off the coasts of Africa, South America and the east coast of Australia. But by 1815 the trade had spread to the wider Pacific, encompassing areas in the south, central and north Pacific, as well as the rim areas between Japan and New Guinea. In the Indian Ocean the trade extended north to the Seychelles and into the waters around Timor and the Moluccas, such as to be seen on our engraving. It was the oil of the sperm whale they were after. Sperm whale oil was always in demand as it had a number of unique qualities. It was more portable than gas and burnt more purely and with less smoke than animal, vegetable and other whale oils. As a lubricant its fine qualities resulted in much less wear on moving parts. Sperm oil also played a key role in lighting the better-class houses of London and contemporaries correlated the spread and use of gas lighting in streets with the increased use of Argand lamps in private homes. A price for sperm oil per gallon was always quoted in the London papers. Herman Melville, author of Moby-Dick (1851), judged William John Huggins to be one of very few artists able to portray a whale convincingly. Melville advised that "the only mode in which you can derive even a tolerable idea of his living contour, is by going whaling yourself; but by so doing, you run no small risk of being eternally stove and sunk by him".

London, The Artist, 1 January 1825 (but later). A hand-coloured aquatint and etching (image 402 × 502 mm; visible surface 407 × 517 mm); matted, framed and glazed (external dimensions 685 × 785 mm); in fine condition. A dramatic and important whaling print, engraved by T. Sutherland after Huggins' painting. The engraved caption reads: 'A representation of the Ships "Amelia Wilson" & "Castor" off the Island of Bouro, with their Boats & Crew in the various process of Fishing, shewing the manner the Spermaceti Whales are caught, also the mode of cutting them into the Ship & Boiling the Oil upon Deck. This plate is most respectfully Dedicated to Ph. Skelton, Andw. Stirton, Wm. & Nichols Esqrs, Owners of the said Ships by their most obedient humble Servant W.J. Huggins'. Two scenes in the image have separate captions: 'The head of a large whale in the agonies of death', and 'A boat destroy'd by a wounded whale'. The catalogue of the 'Whaling Prints in the Francis B. Lothrop Collection' records this version of the print (#104) as a re-engraving of the original version (#103). 'Though the publication date remains unchanged, this print is a later issue, showing the longer title, captions, and the addition of "Marine Painter to His Majesty" to the imprint. Variations in other impressions suggest there may have been a third and perhaps even a fourth plate engraved of the same scene, none achieving the same fine quality as the first. At least one plate still exists today and is owned by an English publisher who continues to print it. It therefore shows considerable reworking over the years' (Ingalls: 'Whaling Prints in the Francis B. Lothrop Collection', Peabody Museum of Salem, 1987). 'Herman Melville, author of Moby-Dick (1851), judged William John Huggins to be one of very few artists able to portray a whale convincingly. Melville advised that "the only mode in which you can derive even a tolerable idea of his living contour, is by going a whaling yourself; but by so doing, you run no small risk of being eternally stove and sunk by him". Huggins, after several years at sea with the East India Company, established himself in London as a "Marine Painter, Printseller & Publisher [.] Merchants & Captains Supplied on Reasonable Terms". This engraving was produced after a painting commissioned by the owners of the two ships in this dramatic whaling scene. Its setting is by the island of Buru in Indonesia; the expression South Sea Whale Fishery related to oceans below the southern tip of Greenland' (Christchurch Art Gallery Te Puna o Waiwhetu website).

ROTTERDAM HARBOUR IN THE 19TH CENTURY "Ships of the General Steam Navigation Company, off Rotterdam. The Giraffe of 500 Tons arriving, and The Ocean of 600 Tons leaving, with Her Majesty's Mails". Etching with aquatint made in 1842 by Edward Duncan after the design of marine painter William John Huggins. With original hand colouring. Size: approx. 35,5 x 60 cm. Starboard stern view of the 500-ton paddle steamer The Giraffe entering Rotterdam under steam. The British ensigns are flying on the stern gaff and the fore mast; the General Steam Navigation Company flag is flying on the stern mast. People are depicted on the deck. Crossing the bows of the Giraffe, is the Ocean paddle steamer leaving port under steam. She also flies the ensign and GSNC company flags. A small rowing vessel, with two men and two women is shown in the bottom right foreground. A cityscape of Rotterdam shoreline can be seen in the background complete with churches, moored shipping and a windmill. Both paddle steamers were launched in 1836 and used as mail steamers by the British General Steam Navigation Company (GSNC). The Giraffe later served during the American Civil War. The GSNC, incorporated in 1824, was London's foremost short sea shipping line for almost 150 years, and the oldest shipping company in the world to begin business with steamships. The GSNC experimented with services to Lisbon, Portugal and to Gibraltar, and even to Africa and the Americas, but specialised in links with ports in Britain (including Lowestoft and Great Yarmouth) and northwest Europe. Prijs: 1.250,- (incl. frame).
