réf. 05543London: William Holland 1797. A Medley of Characters A Wonderful 'Frieze' by John Colley Nixon NIXON John Colley A Medley of Characters. Drawn by J. Nixon engraved by Ziegler. London: William Holland 31 January 1797. Oblong quarto 28 1/2 x 10 7/8 inches; 276 x 723 mm. Large landscape hand-colored aquatint engraving on four sheets. Total size 10 3/4 x 114 inches; 277 x 2892 mm. Four numbered sheets all with "Drawn by J. Nixon Esq.r' / A Medley of Characters / Engraved by Ziegler / London Pub. by Willm. Holland Cockspur Street". Small closed tear to blank margin of first plate not affecting image; neatly repaired 3 1/8 inch tear to lower right hand edge just touching image otherwise an excellent complete suite of this exceptionally rare panorama showing John Nixon's gentle satire. Chemised in a quarter black morocco clamshell case measuring 12 x 30 inches; 305 x 762 mm. spine with five raised bands ruled and lettered in gilt in compartments. This panorama works as a kind of frieze showing fifty-six characters including "A Whip Seller in Belfast"; "Ascot Heath Races"; "Enfield Races"; "An Irishman coming from Market"; "At a sale of Pictures" and "At a Concert". This is a rare survival of such material particularly given that the large landscape format would not have lent it readily to being stored in an album or chest options for smaller varieties of popular prints but instead to immediate display. The form was an innovation by Henry Bunbury whose landscape satire Long Minuet of 1787 proved very popular; this print is one of several which derives directly from it. Bunbury himself must have thought the print significant since he is pictured completing it in his portrait by Lawrence. Although the prints may date to around 1797 as suggested by William A. Gordon in his British Caricature no. BC-3 his example gives the place of publication as Oxford Street - our example with the place as Cockspur street most likely dates to around 1802 when Holland is documented as being at Cockspur street.

"Nixon was a wealthy amateur caricaturist who flourished in the 1780s and 1790s. He was a close friend of Thomas Rowlandson and regularly socialized with his circle including Henry Angelo the actor Jack bannister JohnWolcot Peter Pindar and the well-known art collector Matthew Mitchell." He signed himself 'Esq.r' signaling his claim to middle-class gentility. He was a merchant of successful Irish mercantile stock yet with strong links to artistic and fashionable circles. His brothers Robert and James also dabbled in art and he exhibited at the Royal Academy between 1781-1813. His friends included the topographer and satirist Captain Francis Grose who accompanied him on one of the frequent trips to Ireland in which he combined business and the pleasures of sketching as he traveled. Like Grose he turned his hand also to a variety of genres illustrating Sterne's Tristram Shandy and turning particularly to topography informed by extensive travels in Britain and on the Continent. His work features in the series Seats of the Nobility and Gentry and he illustrated travel books such as Thomas Pennant's Journey from London to the Isle of Wight. He developed strong ties with that island and would eventually die in Ryde. William Holland fl. c. 1759-1815 published many of Nixon's satirical prints. Like other publishers such as Boydell Holland publicized his wares by mounting them as a kind of exhibition at his premises. Though this is a very innocent print Holland was not averse to taking risks: he was briefly imprisoned in 1793 for publishing a pamphlet by Thomas Paine and it has been suggested that he also published under the pseudonyms Paddy Whack and Jacob Douce.

1974réf. 45331974. Ford Gerald R. Pardon of Richard Nixon. 1974. This document records the exercise of presidential pardon power at the conclusion of the Watergate crisis when Gerald Ford granted Richard Nixon a full and unconditional pardon following his resignation from office. Issued one month after Nixon's August 9 1974 resignation the text situates the pardon within ongoing impeachment proceedings potential criminal liability and concerns over national stability. The material documents the constitutional system of executive clemency demonstrating how Article II authority was used to terminate the possibility of prosecution and to resolve a prolonged constitutional crisis. It provides primary-source evidence for the study of presidential power Watergate-era governance and debates over accountability justice and political reconciliation in the United States. Ford Gerald R. Pardon of Richard Nixon. Washington D.C.: The White House September 8 1974. One page quarto. Signed "G. Ford." The document opens with a formal summary of Nixon's presidency noting his election in 1968 reelection in 1972 and resignation in 1974. It references the House Judiciary Committee's impeachment inquiry including "votes adverse to Richard Nixon on recommended Articles of Impeachment" and outlines the legal context in which Nixon faced "possible indictment and trial for offenses against the United States." The text argues that a trial would prolong national division stating that "the tranquility to which this nation has been restored. could be irreparably lost" before invoking constitutional authority to grant "a full free and absolute pardon. for all offenses. committed or may have committed" during Nixon's presidency. The document concludes with the formal execution clause dated September 8 1974. The pardon marked a decisive moment in the resolution of Watergate ending the prospect of criminal proceedings against a former president while prompting immediate public and political debate over executive authority and accountability. Ford's action was widely interpreted as an effort to stabilize governance after months of televised hearings legal uncertainty and institutional strain. The document remains central to scholarship on constitutional limits separation of powers and the political consequences of clemency decisions. Light handling wear consistent with presentation copies; signature remains bold and legible. Overall very good condition. A signed example of one of the most consequential presidential documents of the twentieth century directly tied to the constitutional aftermath of Watergate. unknown books

1974réf. 45301974. Ford Gerald R. Richard Nixon Pardon Proclamation. September 8 1974. Gerald R. Ford signed text of the presidential proclamation granting a full pardon to former President Richard Nixon issued weeks after Nixon's resignation during the Watergate crisis. The document records Ford's constitutional use of executive clemency at a moment when the United States confronted the first presidential resignation in its history and the unresolved legal consequences of the Watergate investigation. By invoking Article II Section 2 of the Constitution Ford granted Nixon "a full free and absolute pardon.for all offenses against the United States.committed or may have been committed.from January 20 1969 through August 9 1974." The decision immediately became one of the most debated acts of executive authority in modern American political history raising questions about accountability constitutional power and national reconciliation following the Watergate scandal. Souvenir printing of the presidential proclamation signed by President Gerald R. Ford in ink. One page quarto format. The printed text summarizes Nixon's presidency from his inauguration in 1969 through his resignation on August 9 1974 following the House Judiciary Committee's impeachment inquiry explaining that potential criminal prosecution remained possible and that a trial of a former president could extend national division. The document then declares Ford's exercise of the presidential pardon power formally granting clemency to Nixon for any federal offenses committed during his presidency. Ford's pardon of Nixon marked a defining episode in the political aftermath of the Watergate investigation which exposed extensive abuses of executive power illegal surveillance and obstruction of justice within the Nixon administration. Announced only one month after Nixon left office the pardon sought to prevent a prolonged criminal prosecution of a former president and to stabilize the political climate following years of scandal and constitutional crisis. The decision was widely controversial and contributed to a significant decline in Ford's public approval yet it also remains central to debates about executive authority political accountability and the limits of presidential clemency in the United States. Signed material connected directly to the Nixon pardon provides documentary evidence of one of the most consequential constitutional decisions of the twentieth century. Light handling wear with minor creasing typical of a circulated souvenir document. Ink signature clear and legible. Overall condition good to very good. unknown books
1972réf. 76751972. Nixon Richard M. Unissued White House Award of Excellence for environmental protection services documenting the federal government's effort to recognize environmental achievement during the Nixon administration. The certificate belongs to the period in which environmental protection became a more formal component of national policy: Nixon signed the National Environmental Policy Act on January 1 1970 and submitted the reorganization plan that established the Environmental Protection Agency later that year. A presidential advisory committee for an Environmental Merit Award Program was subsequently created in 1972 within the EPA placing this award within the administration's broader use of federal recognition to encourage environmental service. The President of the United States Presents This Award of Excellence. White House Washington D.C. circa 1972. Printed award certificate featuring a large color presidential eagle seal and the text: "The President of the United States presents this Award of Excellence to blank for outstanding achievement in environmental protection services." A stamped facsimile signature of Richard Nixon appears below the presentation text. The recipient line was never completed and the document is unsigned. Its unused state preserves the certificate as an example of the standardized material prepared for a federal environmental recognition program rather than as evidence of an award to a particular person or organization. No recipient inscription handling damage or significant surface wear reported; mint condition. An intact unissued presidential certificate illustrating the ceremonial language and visual identity used to promote environmental achievement during the formative years of federal environmental administration. unknown books
