His Excellency John Jay President & Minister Plenipotentiary from Congress at Madrid.
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"), very large margins.
John Jay (1745-1829), revolutionary and politician in the United States of America. Born in New York City, of French and Dutch ancestry, Jay served on the first and second continental congresses, and wrote most of the constitution that New York state adopted in 1777. He was made president of congress in 1778 , making him nominally American head of state, until he was elected American minister to Madrid (a difficult role, since the Spanish Bourbons, unlike the French, would not recognize American independence). After the American victory at Yorktown, Benjamin Franklin called upon Jay to assist in negotiating the peace treaty. After the publication of this print he went on to become secretary for foreign affairs and secretary of state under President Washington, and first chief justice of the US supreme court. 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.

Samuel Johnson. Sentimental and Masonic Magazine
Sir Jos.a Reynolds Pinx.t 1756 H. Brocas Sculp.
[c.1795]
Stipple, sheet 210 x 115mm (8¼ x4½").
Samuel Johnson (1709-1784), English writer who made lasting contributions to English literature as a poet, essayist, moralist, novelist, literary critic, biographer, editor and lexicographer. Johnson was a devout Anglican and political conservative, and has been described as "arguably the most distinguished man of letters in English history". He is also the subject of "the most famous single work of biographical art in the whole of literature": James Boswell's Life of Samuel Johnson. After working as a teacher he moved to London, where he began to write essays for The Gentleman's Magazine. His later works included essays, an influential annotated edition of William Shakespeare's plays, and the widely read novel Rasselas. In 1763, he befriended James Boswell, with whom he later travelled to Scotland; Johnson described their travels in A Journey to the Western Islands of Scotland. Towards the end of his life, he produced the massive and influential Lives of the Most Eminent English Poets, a collection of biographies and evaluations of 17th- and 18th-century poets. Engraving after the portrait by Sir Joshua Reynolds, published in the Dublin journal, the 'Sentimental and Masonic Magazine', published by John Jones of Grafton Street between 1792 and 1795.

Approach to the Bore Ghaut. Drawn by W.m West, A.R.A. from a Painting by L.t Col.l Johnson, C.B.
Engraved by T. Fielding. Colored by J.B. Hogarth.
Published by R. Ackermann, Strand, & W.m Sams, St James's Street, 1826.
Aquatint printed in colours and hand-finished. Sheet: 300 x 370mm (11¾ x 14½"). Trimmed within plate.
The Bhor (or Bhore) Ghat, the main pass over the Western Ghats and the primary means of communication between the coast and the Deccan, in the north of Maharashtra. From Robert Grindlay's (1786-1877) 'Scenery, costumes and architecture, chiefly on the western side of India,' 1826-30. Grindlay, founder of the ANZ Grindlays Bank, came to India in 1803, aged only 17, and worked with the East India Company, serving with the Seventh Bombay Native Infantry from 1804-1820. William Westall (1781-1850) had travelled to Australia as artist for the Flinders expedition. Westall found the Australian landscape boring, and so, when the expedition broke up after the lead ship, the 'Investigator', was condemned, Westall travelled to India. This was without the permission of his employers, the Admiralty, who sacked him, although they still paid him to complete nine full oil paintings of his sketches of Australia.

Engraving, platemark 165 x 110mm (6½ x 4¼") large margins. Cut to plate at right.
Edward Montagu, first earl of Sandwich (1625-72) army and naval officer and diplomat. Despite being a Parliamentarian officer in the Civil War and one of Oliver Cromwell's Council of State, Sandwich was instrumental in the Restoration of Charles II, commanding the fleet that brought him back from exile in May 1660. Two months later, on 12 July 1660, he was created Baron Montagu of St Neots, Viscount Hinchingbrooke, and Earl of Sandwich. Sandwich's career as an admiral was his most enduring achievement. He died in the Third Anglo-Dutch War when, in the Battle of Solebay his ship was attacked by a group of fire ships and was destroyed with the loss of many lives, including Sandwich himself.

Engraving, sheet 450 x 315mm (17¾ x 12½"). Creasing on left.
Man and woman from the island of Beautemps-Beaupré, part of the French overseas territory of New Caledonia in the Pacific Ocean. Plate from 'Relation du voyage à la recherche de La Pérouse', compiled by Jacques Julien Houtou de Labillardière. Labillardière was the botanist on board an expedition led by Chevalier Bruni d'Entrecasteaux which in 1791-3 attempted to find Jean-Francois de Galaup, comte de La Pérouse, who disappeared in 1788 after setting sail from Botany Bay (Australia). Despite finding no trace of La Pérouse, losing its commander and many crew to scurvy, and finally splitting between royalist and republican factions, the expedition was judged a success because of the important observations made by the expedition's scientists (and sketches by the expedition's artist Jean Piron) which were published in this book. Beautemps-Beaupré was in fact named after the hydropgrapher and explorer Charles-François Beautemps-Beaupré (1766-1854), who was also part of the expedition.

Trained for the military, as a Field Marshal he commanded the Russian army of the Danube in the Russo-Turkish War of 1777-8, which concluded shortly before this print was made. He did not distinguish himself in the war, however, and was removed from command following a series of reverses and unsuccessful attacks. Furthermore, he was charged with financial irregularities, of receiving bribes and embezzling money from the government. Following the assassination of Alexander II and succession of Alexander III (who had little respect for his uncle), Nicholas Nicholaevich was deprived of all influence.

Drawn and Engraved for Thomson's New General Atlas. [Edinburgh: John Thomson, c.1815.]
Engraved map with original hand colour. 530 x 650mm (20¾ x 25½"). Paper pasted around printed border at bottom to hide damp stains.
A map of the North Atlantic from Iceland south to the Equator, with the Gulf Stream according to Thomas Pownall (1722-1805)', governor Massachusetts 1757-60) and author of 'Hydraulic and .Nautical Observations', an early examination of the Gulf Stream. Also marked is 'Lord Nelson's Track to the West Indies in Persuit of the French 1805' and 'Nelson Returning', which culminated at the Battle of Trafalgar. Another route is that of 'the United States Ship Insurgent', which operated in European waters during the 'Quasi-War' between the USA and France, caused by the US reneging on the loans given to them by France during the American War of Independence.

Madame Clara Novello
Engraved by D.J. Pound from a Photograph by Mayall [1859]
Engraving, sheet 310 x 230mm (12¼ x 9"). Crease lower left. Slight marking at top.
Clara Novello (1818-1908), singer and daughter of the music publisher Vincent Novello. Born at 240 Oxford Street, London, Novello made her public debut at the Theatre Royal, Windsor in 1832 after studying in Paris. Following her marriage to Count Giovanni Baptista Gigliucci in 1843 Novello put her career on hold to raise a family and assist her husband in the fight for Italian independence. However, when Count Gigliucci lost his property in the 1848 uprisings, Novello returned to the stage, performing both in the UK and on the continent. Novello retired, while still popular, in 1860, to live with Count Gigliucci in Rome and Fermo. Published in 1859, shortly before Novello's retirement, in the 'Drawing Room Portrait Gallery of Eminent Personages' of engravings made from photographs by John Jabez Edwin Mayall (1813-1901).

Ophelia. There's rue for you, and here's some for me
James Nixon pinx.t F. Bartolozzi Sculp.t
[London, Publish'd April 8th 1784 by W. Dickinson]
Stipple printed in red, sheet 190 x 145mm (7½ x 5¾"). Trimmed inside platemark, losing publication line;
The tragic Ophelia's last appearance in Shakespeare's 'Hamlet' before her death from drowning. Stipple engraving after the miniature painter James Nixon (bap.1741-1812). This may be engraved from Nixon's miniature of Mary Bowles (née Elton) as Ophelia, in the collection of the Elton family seat, Clevedon Court, Somerset. Stipple engraving by Francesco Bartolozzi (1725-1815), Florentine engraver who migrated to England, and in 1768 was elected as a founding member of the Royal Academy in London (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 impression from the collection of Dr. Augusto Calabi of Milan, art historian who co-authored (with A.B. de Vesme) the authoritative catalogue raisonné of Bartolozzi's work. This state is not listed in the catalogue.

Engraving, sheet 160 x 100mm (6¼ x 4"). Trimmed and tipped into album sheet.
Thomas Paine (1737-1809), author and revolutionary. A leading figure in the age of revolutions and an effective pamphleteer, Paine's works included 'Common Sense' (1776), which inspired people in the 'Thirteen Colonies' to declare and fight for independence from Great Britain; the hugely successful 'Rights of Man' (1791-2), which did much to restore credit to the French in Britain and America; and 'The Age of Reason' (1793), a trenchant attack on Christianity and all formal religions which stirred up hostility for many years afterwards (in 1888 Teddy Roosevelt described him as 'a filthy little atheist'). Engraved after a portrait by Charles Willson Peale (1741-1827), American painter and museum founder who served in the Pennsylvania militia and participated in radical politics during the Revolution.

Piron del Copia sculp. Dien scripsit.
[Paris: H.J.Jansen, 1800.]
Engraving, sheet 450 x 315mm (17¾ x 12½"). Thread margins.
Plate from 'Relation du voyage à la recherche de La Pérouse', compiled by Jacques Julien Houtou de Labillardière. Labillardière was the botanist on board an expedition led by Chevalier Bruni d'Entrecasteaux which in 1791-3 attempted to find Jean-Francois de Galaup, comte de La Pérouse, who disappeared in 1788 after setting sail from Botany Bay (Australia). Despite finding no trace of La Pérouse, losing its commander and many crew to scurvy, and finally splitting between royalist and republican factions, the expedition was judged a success because of the important observations made by the expedition's scientists (and sketches by the expedition's artist Jean Piron) which were published in this book.
