![[Pope.]](jpegs/65301.jpg)
[Pope.] OYTOE EKEINOE
LB fc.
[n.d. c.1725]
Very scarce mezzotint with hand colour, sheet 165 x 130mm (6½ x 5"). Trimmed. Taped into mount.
A portrait of Alexander Pope (1688-1744), depicted in a bust, facing left in profile, wearing a laurel crown, and set within an oval frame lettered with greek letters. Jacob Christoph Le Blon (1667-1741) was a painter and engraver from Frankfurt who pioneered the system of three- and four-color printing. He used the RYB color model, which later evolved into the modern CMYK system. Le Blon employed the mezzotint technique to engrave three or four metal plates, each corresponding to a different ink, allowing for prints with a broad spectrum of colors. His innovations laid the groundwork for the development of modern color printing.
Not in CS. New Hollstein 39. Ex: Collection of The Hon. C. Lennox-Boyd. From Christopher Mendez, who states "that this maybe only the second impression recorded".
