[Allegory of the French Empire dedicated to Anne of Austria.]
J. Heyden excudibat.
[n.d., c.1625.]
Rare engraving. 320 x 425mm (12½ x 16¾"). With the ink collector's stamp of Alfred Morrisson). Narrow margins. Crease in centre, slightly visable from front.
An allegorical plate of the French Empire dedicated to Anne of Austria (1601-60, wife of Louis XIII and mother of Louis XIV) by the author Martin Meurisse. Centred around a portrait of the queen are figures of the Virtues, Europa astride the bull and others sitting on tiers, with notes in Latin and French. The two coats of arms are the Royal Crest and the emblem of the Franciscans. Underneath, the French text dedication explains the meaning of the plate. The author was Bishop Martin Meurisse (1584-1644), a Franciscan philosopher and theologian who published theses on Logic, Physics, Metaphysics and Ethics between 1613 and 1618, each illustrated with prints such as these. Alfred Morrisson (1821-1897), described by Lugt as 'one of the most relentless collectors of his time', formed his print collection between 1860 and 1878; the Print Room of the British Museum acquired 455 rare prints from the collection before the rest was dispersed by Sothebys between 1917-19.

Indolence. [&] Industry. Dedicated to the Young Ladies [parallel text in French]
G. Carter pinx.t. J. Jones fecit.
Publish'd as the Act directs Oct.r 31 1781 by G. Carter Margaret Street. Cavendish Square.
Pair of scarce mezzotints. Each c.260 x 190mm (10¼ x 7½"). Staining.
Industry: a young woman knitting. Indolence: a woman sits outisde in the cold, clasping her feet to her for warmth. The two prints followed in the tradition of didactic art which Hogarth (in series such as 'Industry and Idleness') had used so masterfully. The painter, George Carter (bap.1737-d.1794), was baptised in Colchester, Essex before moving to London. He travelled to Rome with John Singleton Copley (although there they parted, and Copley later described Carter as ‘a sort of snail which crawled over a man in his sleep, and left its slime and no more’). After exhibiting regularly at the Royal Academy in the 1770s, Carter's apparent lack of success led him to travel more in later years, visiting Gibraltar, Russia and India.
