Angelica Kauffman R.A. pinx.t [...] Fran.s Bartolozzi R.A. Sculp.t.
London, Publish'd Nov.r 3 1785 by Ja.s Birchall No. 473 Strand.
Very fine stipple, printed in brown. 420 x 490mm (16½ x 19¼"). Trimmed to platemark bottom & top edge. Small margin at sides.
Scene from Act 5, Scene 3 of Shakespeare's tragedy 'Coriolanus'. Stipple engraving by Francesco Bartolozzi after Angelica Kauffman. Bartolozzi was born in Florence but 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, getting around the rules by electing Bartolozzi as a painter). He was already hailed as the best engraver in Italy when he met George III's librarian Richard Dalton in 1763. Dalton enticed 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.

Etching with stipple in red ink, fine proof before title, sheet 170 x 175mm. 6¾ x 7". Trimmed to plate at top and bottom.
Portrait in an oval of Charles Cornwallis, 1st Marquess Cornwallis, KG (1738- 1805), British Army officer and colonial administrator. In the United States and Britain, he is best remembered as one of the leading generals in the American War of Independence. His 1781 surrender to a combined American-French force at the Siege of Yorktown is often incorrectly considered the end of the war; in fact, it continued for a further two years. Despite this defeat, he retained the confidence of successive British governments and continued to enjoy an active career. In India, where he served two terms as governor general, he is remembered for promulgating the Permanent Settlement. As Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, he argued for Catholic emancipation and oversaw the response to the 1798 Irish Rebellion and a French invasion of Ireland. After Hugh Douglas Hamilton (1736 - 1808).

Etching, Proof impression before letters; platemark 145 x 105mm (5¾ x 4"), with large margins. Glued to backing sheet.
Woman dressed in antique clothing, sat beside a shield bearing coat of arms. Ex-libris of John Currer, book collector. His collection was passed on to the Revd Henry Richardson (1758-84) and then Frances Mary Richardson Currer (1785-1861), book collector. Etched by Francesco Bartolozzi (1725-1815), Florentine engraver who 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.

Cipriani (it was published in 'A Set of Etchings by Francis Bartolozzi R.A. in Imitation of Drawings from the Sketches of the Late John Baptist Cipriani R.A.' in 1788.

London: Published as the Act directs 1 March 1785 by W. Byrne No 79 Titchfield Street.
Stipple printed in sepia, platemark 215 x 225mm (8½ x 8¾"), with very large margins
Shows Mother & child escaping a fire in ancient Rome. Stipple engraving by Francesco Bartolozzi (1725-1815) after his frequent collaborator Giovanni Battista Cipriani (1727-85). Bartolozzi (1725-1815) was born in Florence but 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.
