Bradley & Co's Whips from their Manufactory, Hull, Makers to the Emperor & Imperial Family of all the Russias, and on the other side a map of the County, forty miles round Hull by Richard Johnson, Hull + 2 Engravings, on modern paper, taken from this copper printing plate.In pure etching, a metal (usually copper, zinc or steel) plate is covered with a waxy ground which is resistant to acid. The artist then scratches off the ground with a pointed etching needle where he wants a line to appear in the finished piece, so exposing the bare metal. A tool with a slanted oval section is also used for swelling lines. The acid bites into the metal, where it is exposed, leaving behind lines sunk into the plate. The remaining ground is then cleaned off the plate. The plate is inked all over, and then the ink wiped off the surface, leaving only the ink in the etched lines. The plate is then put through a high-pressure printing press together with a sheet of paper, often moistened to soften it. The paper picks up the ink from the etched lines, making a print. The process can be repeated many times; typically several hundred impressions (copies) could be printed before the plate shows much sign of wear. The work on the plate can also be added to by repeating the whole process; this creates an etching which exists in more than one state. A very rare item....

The fame of the water-cure treatment grew, clinics were opened at Malvern and other places. Famous patients included Charles Darwin, Charles Dickens, Thomas Carlyle, Florence Nightingale, Lord Tennyson and Samuel Wilberforce. With the fame also attracted criticism: Sir Charles Hastings, a physician and founder of the British Medical Association, was a forthright critic of hydropathy. Patients at Malvern were woken at 5 am, undressed and wrapped in wet sheets then covered with blankets. An hour later, buckets of water were thrown upon the patients who then went on a five mile walk, carrying an alpenstock and a Gräfenberg flask of mineral water, stopping at wells for the waters. They returned to the Malvern pump room for a breakfast of dry biscuits and water. They then had the day to spend bathing in a range of kinds of baths, or in some cases wore a wet sheet called the "Neptune Girdle" round their middle at all times, removing it only at meal times. Dinner which was always boiled mutton and fish was followed by a few hours in a dry bed. The exercise, plain food and absence of alcohol together with the congenial company of other wealthy patrons proved generally beneficial. £150.00

On a London street, a young man in foppish dress grins as he peers through a spyglass directly out of the picture.

A pub sign hangs from a near building far left and a sedan chair rests in middle of the street nearby. The verse below reads:Sir Fopling Flutter through his glass inspects the Ladies as they pass// Yet still the coxcomb lacks the wit to guard against the Bailiff's Writ.
