English ships and the Spanish Armada, August 1588
	The painting may have been a design for a tapestry, or if not is laid out like one, and is dateable to the years immediately following the event. The composition appears less like a painting than as a formal design in a mannered style but no other contemporary image of the Armada conveys a comparable sense of the drama and colour of the confrontation between the two fleets. Although it is not exactly clear which part of the battle is shown (if indeed it is literal at all), it is most likely to be the action of Gravelines, the only point at which large numbers of ships from both sides were engaged in sustained conflict.

A Poor-House: 19th century
	A Poor-House. This painting was probably inspired by Dor�'s visits to the East End in 1869�70 to gather material for London: A Pilgrimage. The scene shows a gathering of the poor in a common lodging house or night refuge. Dor� was sometimes accused of 'inventing rather than recording', but this wretched interior echoes contemporary engravings of London's lowliest lodging houses and their long-suffering clientele.

The Falcon Glassworks: 19th century
	The Falcon Glassworks. An interior view of the works in Holland Street, Blackfriars. It is the earliest known detailed painting of the interior of a London glass house, the largest in the first half of the 19th century.

Landscape near Muiderberg
	The ruined church of Muiderberg (seen on the hill in the distance) is situated near Naarden, south-east of Amsterdam on the Zuider Zee, where Ruisdael's father was born. Probably painted in the early 1650s, when the artist was still living in Haarlam, it is based on drawings made in the locality. There is a compositional study for the painting in the Albertina, Vienna, which corresponds closely but does not include the carriage and riders on the right. It may be that this group has been added by another hand but at an early date as it appears almost unaltered in a landscape in the Sz�pm�v�szeti M�zeum, Budapest, attributed to Ruisdael's contemporary, Jan van Kessel.

Self-Portrait
	This is a rare self-portrait, dating from 1861, at which time Rossetti was married to Elizabeth Siddal. Eight years on from Holman Hunt's early portrait of his friend, Rossetti is no longer the romantic bohemian characterised by dishevelled hair and intense eye contact. Instead he now appears almost conventional, with straightened hair and an air of calm resignation. This is the largest and most formal of Rossetti's modestly few self-portraits. Contemporary descriptions of the artist concentrate on his dark grey eyes and large, round forehead. This portrait shows him dressed in his 'painting coat' Price: £ 225.00 More info: Self-Portrait

The Vale of Health, Hampstead Heath: 1921
	The Vale of Health, Hampstead Heath. Oil on canvas. This painting looks eastward from Hampstead Heath, just below Jack Straw's Castle public house. The man reading a newspaper, and the woman with two children highlight the use of the heath for leisure and fresh air. Cheltenham-born Claude Walker studied at the South Kensington schools before becoming a picture restorer and topographical painter. He was a Londoner all his life, living in Primrose Hill, Belsize Park, and later in Fulham. Walker's career as a picture restorer may have held back his career as a painter. There are only two other known works by Walker, both watercolours, dating from the same period as this picture. Here his style seems untouched by the contemporary movements in landscape painting.

Richard Arkwright, British inventor of textile machinery, 1790.
	Oil painting on canvas by Joseph Wright of Derby, set in a contemporary Belper family frame. Arkwright (1732-1792) was the inventor of the first practical means of mechanical spinning using rollers. The invention of the spinning machine revolutionised the production of yarn and led to rapid mechanisation throughout Britain. Although Arkwright's first installation was worked by a horse, water wheels were generally used, so the spinning machines came to be called water frames.

Ps 'Great Eastern', c 1859.
	Oil painting by Edwin Weedon showing the Great Eastern pasing through the Downs; an area of sea off the east coast of Kent between the Straits of Dover and the Thames Estuary. This famous steamship, designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel (1806-1859) for the Eastern Steam Navigation Company, was the largest vesel afloat until she was broken up in 1888. Built of iron at Millwall (London) in 1853-1858, she was 692 feet long, and had accommodation for 4000 pasengers. Limitations of contemporary technology necesitated the employment of both paddle-wheels and a screw propeller. Originally designed with the pasenger trade to Australia and the Far East in mind, the Great Eastern made her maiden voyage, acros the Atlantic, in 1860. Price: £ 225.00 More info: Ps 'Great Eastern', c 1859.

Sir Horace Jones, English architect, c 1870s.
	Oil painting. Sir Horace Jones (1819-1887) designed Smithfield Market and reconstructed Billingsgate and Leadenhall markets. He was also responsible for the Guildhall library and museum (1872) and made the plans for Tower Bridge in London. Work started on the bridge in 1886 with Jones employed as designer and John Wolfe-Barry (1836-1918) as engineer. Following Jones's death in 1887 Barry changed Jones's simple and medieval design to a gothic style much to public disapproval, with the contemporary journal 'The Builder' calling it 'monstrous and preposterous'. The bridge is made of two gothic towers and a central drawbridge with the two bascules being able to swing open for pasing ships within 90 seconds. Completed in 1894 it cost over �1 million.

Ps 'Great Eastern' on the ocean, 1859.
	Colour print after a painting by Edwin Weedon.

Limitations of contemporary technology necesitated the employment of both paddle-wheels and a screw propeller. Designed for the pasenger trade to Australia and the Far East, the Great Eastern made her maiden voyage, acros the Atlantic, in 1860. She was not a commercial succes as a liner, but between 1865-1873, did work laying submarine cables, including the first transatlantic telegraph link.

Launch of the 'Fuji' at Blackwall, London, 31 March 1896.
	Oil painting by Gerald M Burn (1859-1945). British shipyards and naval personnel were instrumental in the development of the Imperial Japanese Navy as a modern fighting force in the late 19th century. The battleship 'Fuji' was built for the Japanese Navy by the Thames Ironworks & Shipbuilding Co. Its design was that of contemporary British first clas battleships but with important modifications, in particular the hooded barbettes and the cut-away deadwood arrangement of the stern which enabled her to turn more rapidly. The Thames Ironworks closed some 20 years later. Price: £ 225.00 More info: Launch of the 'Fuji' at Blackwall, London, 31 March 1896.
