Mezzotint in sepia ink. 415 x 280mm (16¼ x 11"). Trimmed to plate. Crease through lower right corner. Some spotting.
Daphne, wearing a loose dress with one breast bared, her hands beginning to sprout leaves and branches, pursued by Apollo, nude and carrying a bow and quiver. In the foreground, nude and sitting on the ground, Daphne's father, ther river-god Peneus, beside whom is an upturned urn pouring out water that forms a river. From the series 'Tabulæ novem coelo elaboratæ ad totidem Titiani archetypos Nine Prints from the Celebrated Paintings of Titian, in the Duke of Marlboroughs Gallery, at Blenheim' by the famous early mezzotinter and re-publisher of older plates John Smith (1652-1743). The series of Smith mezzotints commonly known as 'The Loves of the Gods' are after a series of leather wall-hangings formerly in the Titian Room at Blenheim destroyed by fire in 1861. The attribution to Titian is uncertain, however, and was doubted as early as 1766 (see G. Scharf, Catalogue Raisonné, Blenheim Palace, London, 1862, pp. 83-92). The designs are based on prints by Caraglio after Pelino del Vaga and Rosso Fiorentino.

Mezzotint, open letters. 610 x 380mm. Trimmed to platemark at bottom.
Rose Parisot (c.1775-1837), French opera singer and ballerina, 'celebrated for the scantiness of her draperies' (Frankau). Parisot made her debut in Paris in 1789, and moved to London in 1796 (this print was published the following year). Her sheer costumes, which often exposed one breast, caused scandal, as recorded in many satirical prints of the 1790s. The Bishop of Durham denounced Parisot's costumes as 'indecent', and after an address to the House of Lords in 1798 certain adjustments were made. Her celebrated career ended in 1807, after which she married a Soho florist. Engraved by the celebrated mezzotint engraver John Raphael Smith and published by the portrait painter Arthur William Devis (1762-1822), from whose portrait the engraving is made. After a decade working in India, Devis struggled to establish himself in London in the late 1790s, but by 1800 he was in dire financial straits, and was finally imprisoned in 1804.
