Langendijk, Dirk (Rotterdam 1748-1805). Original drawing - Battle scene of cavalry and infantry, a church in the background. Oblong 8vo. ca. 19 x 15 cm. Very fine, original pen and wash drawing, in greys with some use of colour, signed and dated 1802.
Lively battle scene, the cavalry heavily attacking, one cavalrist blowing a trumpet, and another carrying the flag, with broken canon wheels and dead soldiers, a horse lying in the foreground, and in the middle, lighted by the fire of the infantry, cavalry and other troops attacking from all sides, amidst large clouds and a church seen far away in the background. Dirk Langendijk (1748-1805), was born in Rotterdam and is especially known for his fine drawings of battle scenes. He and his equally famous artist son Jan Anthonie Langendijk (1780-1818), often drew from nature. Both are regarded as the most important Dutch painters of military scenes documenting the French revolutionary and the Napoleonic wars in the Low Countries. His drawings were already collected during his life-time.
Upper right corner with very small damage, however - A good copy. - Cf. Atlas van Stolk 3857-3858 (drawings of similar battle scenes); Hans van Leeuwen Coll. II, 355 (drawing of a similar battle scene); see also: Dirk Langendijk (1748-1805), tekenaar tussen kruitdamp en vaderlands gevoel, Rotterdam, 1982.

William Dugdale was 17th-century English historian known for his works of antiquity of English aristocracy and monastics. While not his most notable work, 'Troubles in England'
is a treatise written to describe the wars that influenced Europe and England during the 17th-century. Dugdale correlates three wars – English Civil War, Barons' War, and the French Wars of Religion – and how they related to each other. Interestingly, the DNB notes that this work was "written throughout in a strain of animosity to all who took the anti-royalist side." However, this work isnotable for its accuracy.

William James was a 19th-century British naval historian who wrote numerous military history texts. One of his best works was 'The Naval History of Great Britain' which was written in response to many of the perspectives on the War of 1812. James was highly critical of British Captain Edward Brenton, who wrote a history of British naval warfare that seemed to be both unreliable and heavily biased.
This impressive, six-volume set includes numerous diagrams of the formations of British naval fleets.
