Magna Carta, Wat Tyler and the attempted theft of the Crown Jewels are among the dramatic scenes in these prints by Samuel Wale (about 1721–1786), the eighteenth-century history painter and book illustrator. They include engravings published in his lifetime and later impressions after his designs, among them Jack Cade's rising, early religious conflict and the laying of the keystone of Blackfriars Bridge, alongside architectural and monumental plates. Engravers such as Charles Grignion translated his compositions for publications including The Complete English Traveller.
