J. Vernet Pinxit. J. Aliamet Sculp.
A Paris chez l'Auteur Graveur du Roi rue des Mathurins vis-à-vis celle des Masons [n.d., c.1775].
Etching and engraving, fine, platemark 355 x 455mm (14 x 18") very large margins.
Scene by the sea with figures gathered around tent warming food on a fire, and another figure fishing. Part of a set of landscapes representing the times of day after Joseph Vernet (1714 - 1789), regarded during his lifetime as the leading European landscape and marine painter. Vernet's clientele included German princes and Russian nobles, and from the 1760s to 1780s no collection was deemed complete without examples of his work. His influence is evident in the landscapes of British artists of the following generation such as Richard Wilson and Joseph Wright of Derby.
For other plates in the series see refs. 10290 ('Morning') and 28523 ('Midday').

G.B. Cipriani inv.t F. Bartolozzi sculp.
Publish'd by F. Bartolozzi, 1788
Etching printed in sepia, platemark 235 x 315mm (9¼ x 12½"), with very large margins.
Women and putti studying works of art. Etching by Francesco Bartolozzi (1725-1815) after his frequent collaborator Giovanni Battista Cipriani (1727-85). 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). 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.
