Silas Deane Esq.r Commissioner from Congress in France.
B.B.E.
Pub.d May 15th 1783 by R. Wilkinson No. 58 Cornhill London.
Stipple and etching pt printed in colour, platemark 140 x 105mm (5½ x 4"). Thread margins on 3 sides.
Silas Deane (1737-89), revolutionary politician and diplomat in America. Born in Connecticut, Deane graduated from Yale in 1758 and rose rapidly in Connecticut politics. He was an active member of congress and in 1776-8 was in France to solicit arms and supplies and seek support for an independent United States, a mission which had mixed results. He was regarded with suspicion by Benjamin Franklin and Arthur Lee, and on a return trip to Europe in 1780, by which time Deane was disillusioned with the American cause, he called for the Americans to abandon the French and reach a reconciliation with Great Britian. From this point on most Americans regarded Deane as a traitor, and he never returned to the country, living in Ghent and London before dying on a ship en route to Canada in 1789. Mixed-media print after Pierre Eugène Du Simitière (1737-84), American painter of Swiss birth. Based in Philadelphia from 1770-84, Du Simitière arranged for 14 of his profile portraits to be sent to Paris for engraving in 1779, although pirated copies and the failure of many sets to return to him made the project unsuccessful.

[Manuel Jorge Gomes de Sepúlveda] Sepulveda em Bragança Alçando Amao Disse Pelo Principe Regente D. Joao. [...]
Ignacio da Silva Valente pinx. F. Bartolozzi sculp em Lisboa em 1812
Engraving, platemark 270 x 205mm (10½ x 8") very large margins.
Manuel Jorge Gomes de Sepúlveda 1735-1814), Portuguese soldier and governor of Capitania do Rio Grande de São Pedro in Portuguese-governed Brazil. Engraving by Francesco Bartolozzi (1725-1815). Born in Florence, Bartolozzi was elected a founding member of the Royal Academy in 1768 (the RA did not admit engravers at this time but made an exception in his case). He was already hailed as the best engraver in Italy when he met George III's librarian Richard Dalton in 1763. Dalton invited Bartolozzi to London with a promise of an appointment as engraver to the king. In England he became the most celebrated exponent of the 'stipple' technique whereby he produced prints using dots rather than lines. In 1801 Bartolozzi was invited to Lisbon to reform the royal printing press, and he spent his final years in Portugal. This was one of Bartolozzi's final prints; its rarity can be deduced from the fact that when Calabi and de Vesme included the print in their Bartolozzi catalogue raisonné it was without having actually seen an impression.

His Late Most Excellent Majestry King George the Third. I hope the time will come when every poor child in my dominions will be able to read the Bible.
From an Original Drawing taken at the Age of 82 in the 60th Year of his Reign.
Published 1 March 1820, for the Proprietor and Sold by Mess.rs Cribb & Son Holborn and R. Cooper No. 1 Edward Street, Hampstead Road.
Etching, proof impression; sheet 425 x 275mm (16¾ x 10¾").
Unusual portrait of George III (1738-1820) in old age. The king's last public appearance was in 1810, a decade before his death, and was followed by a manic episode. His eyesight deteriorated until he was completely blind, and he was increasingly afflicted by deafness. Treatment was left in the hands of mad-doctors, with conventional physicians largely denied access to the king. A regency was declared in 1811, which saw the future George IV act as regent until his father's death. Of all the many portraits of George III published after his death, this is one of very few to depict the darkness of the king's final years.

Lithograph, sheet 370 x 255mm (14½ x 10"). Foxing.
Count Nikolay Pavlovich Ignatyev (1832-1908), Russian statesman and diplomat. Ignatyev's diplomatic career began at the Congress of Paris in 1856, which negotiated the Russo-Ottoman border following the Crimean War. After short assignments in London and central Asia, Ignatyev was sent to China where he obtained for Russia Outer Manchuria in the Treaty of Peking. This success secured him the post of amabassador at Constantinople (Istanbul) which he occupied from 1864-77. His work there culminated in the Russo-Turkish War of 1877-8, after which he fell out of favour with Alexander II and retired from active service.
