Trained under his uncle Henry Cline at St. Thomas's Hospital, he also pursued philosophical studies in Berlin, shaping his intellectual career. Thomas Castle (8051837) was an English botanical and medical writer from Kent.

London, in A New General Collection of Voyages and Travels, vol. II, 1745. Copper engraving, plate 185 (no. 105), vol. 2, p. 396. Image area c. 230 × 150 mm (sheet larger, untrimmed). Engraved by G. Child af…ter contemporary drawings. Two principal figures above, depicting (Fig. 1) a court grandee and (Fig. 2) a wife of the King of Widah, each identified by an engraved banner; below, three subsidiary scenes: 'Agoye, God of Councils,' 'The King's Favourite,' and 'King's Sepulchre,' with ritual objects and funerary attendants. In good original condition, on laid paper, with light toning and scattered foxing, a short marginal split at left, and faint offset from the facing text. Plate mark visible. Very good. Part of a series of engravings showing early European ethnographic understanding of the Kingdom of Whydah (Ouidah, present-day Benin), a major Atlantic trading and slaving port in the early eighteenth century. The plate synthesises court costume, religious iconography, and mortuary practice, and derives ultimately from the observations published by Willem Bosman and Jean-Barbot, transmitted through Astley's great English compendium.

London, in A New General Collection of Voyages and Travels, vol. II, 1745-47 (plate dated "Plate 171, No. 98, Vol. 2, p. 374"). Copper engraving. Image area c. 220 × 140 mm (sheet larger, untrimmed). En…graved by G. Child. Broad sheet with deckle edges, central plate mark visible. Light overall toning and scattered foxing; small marginal chips and edge tears (not affecting image); faint offset from facing text on verso. Good, honest survival. Dramatic ceremonial scene depicting the execution by burning of one of the wives of the King of Whydah and her alleged lover, carried out before a massed assembly of armed retainers and onlookers. The composition shows the condemned bound to a stake amid rising smoke, flanked by soldiers with spears and swords, while the crowd forms a formal semicircle, underscoring the public, ritualised nature of royal justice as understood by European observers. The plate derives from early eighteenth-century travel narratives circulating through the Dutch and English trading factories on the Slave Coast, and was popularised in Astley's vast compendium, which became the standard English-language visual sourcebook for Africa, Asia, and the Americas in the mid-Georgian period.

In den WarenkorbSoft cover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Edition. ATLEY, Thomas; PARR, N. (sc.): Procession to the Temple of the Great Snake on the Crowning of the King, Whydah (Ouidah), Dahomey. London, in Thomas Astley, A New General Collection of Voyages and Travels, 1745?1747 (Vol. II, plate 175, no. 100, p. 377). Copper engraving, 350 × 220 mm…(plate mark), on laid paper with deckle edges. A clean impression with full margins; light age-toning and edge losses, but overall very good. A detailed ethnographic plate depicting the coronation procession at Whydah on the Slave Coast (modern Benin), showing the ceremonial approach to the Temple of the Great Snake (the royal python cult). The scene is arranged in formal ranks with extensive keyed annotations identifying the participants, including the king's wives bearing presents, musicians (trumpeters, drummers and flautists), beadles, musketeers, the master of ceremonies, the queen mother, ladies of the palace, and the 'Great Sacrificer or High Priest.' In the foreground English observers are shown seated, recording the spectacle. Engraved by N. Parr after the account published by Jean-Baptiste Labat and others, and issued in Astley's important mid-eighteenth-century English compilation of voyages, this plate forms part of one of the earliest substantial visual record of the political and religious life of the Kingdom of Dahomey at the height of its involvement in the Atlantic slave trade. The cult of the royal python at Whydah was central to Dahomian state religion, and such coronation rituals were intended to assert both sacred authority and dynastic legitimacy.
