[Republished by Robert Sayer] [n.d. c.1794]
Rare mezzotint 355 x 330mm (14 x 13"), large margins. Crease lower centre. Laid on backing sheet repaired small tears to margins. Small margins left and right.
The 'Good Man' is approached by Old Father Time, who holds out an hourglass. Republished by Robert Sayer after engravings published by Boydell., with slight reworking to the image, for example the facial features. 'These two large engravings, published by Boydell in 1783, are the only surviving record of a fascinating decorative scheme commissioned by Jonathan Tyers [proprietor of Vauxhall Gardens], probably in the late 1740s, for the garden of his weekend retreat, Denbies, near Dorking in Surrey. If Vauxhall Gardens was designed primarily for public enjoyment, then, by contrast, Denbies was created for Jonathan Tyers' personal delectation and reflects his apparent preoccupation with the theme of death and "momento mori"' (Allen). Hayman, who also produced large decorative paintings for Tyers at Vauxhall, for this commission made two life-size pictures (to which these engravings are related) which were installed inside an amphitheatre in Tyers' garden at Denbies. The paintings, were, 'along with all traces of this macabre garden, destroyed soon after Tyers' death in 1767'.

[Oxford: University Press, c.1743-4.]
Original wrappers; 39 engraved plates, in ink on frontis "Thos. Norris"; c.250 x 175mm (9¾ x 7"), with very large margins. Binding strained, some plates with small tears in margins, damp staining and age-toning.
The complete set of 36 scenes engraved by Hubert Gravelot after Francis Hayman. The other three plates are a portrait of Shakespeare after Houbraken, his memorial in Holy Trinity Church at Stratford-upon-Avon and Scheemakers' 18th-century monument in Poets' Corner, Westminster Abbey. The Oxford University Press published a deluxe six-volume illustrated edition of Shakespeare, the first complete edition to be published outside London. The fine bindings and the quality of the illustrations made the edition very popular; however Sir Thomas Hanmer (1677-1746, a Speaker of the House of Commons) had edited the text (not present here) with his own conjectures, without indictating what he had changed. 'William Shakespeare: A Textual Companion' (1997) describes the edition as ''one of the worst in the eighteenth century''.
