John Selden. From the original of Mytens in The Bodleian Gallery, Oxford.
Drawn by H. Crease, & Engraved (with Permission) by W. Holl.
London, Published March 1 1815 by Lackington, Allen & Co and Longman, Hurst, Rees, Orme & Brown
Stipple, platemark 380 x 260mm (15 x 10¼"). Large margins on 3 sides. Trimmed to plate on right. Toning and light foxing around lower and left margins. Creasing to upper left corner.
John Selden (1584-1654), lawyer and historical and linguistic scholar, called to the Bar in 1612. He wrote dissertations on legal theory, angering James I with his 'History of Tythes' (1618) but redeeming himself with 'Mare clausum', which argued that James had full sovereignty over the waters around the British Isles. He became MP for Oxford University and sided with Parliament during the Civil War. Throughout his life Selden studied oriental languages, including Hebrew, Arabic and Chinese; after his death his extensive library of books was donated to the Bodleian. In 2008 the historian Robert Batchelor rediscovered an early 17th century Chinese map of the Far East among the bequest, now known as the Selden Map. Engraving after a portrait by Daniel Mytens (c.1590-1647), Dutch portraitist in London by 1618, who was the leading court portraitist in the city until the arrival of van Dyck in 1632.

Georgius Rodolphus Weckherlin. Natus 14 Sept: 1584 Denatus 13 Feb: 1653 AEt 69 Ano AEt. 50.
Mytins Pinxit. W. Faithorne fec.
Engraving, sheet 145 x 95mm (5¾ x 3¾"). Trimmed and glued to backing sheet.
George Rudolph Weckerlin (1584-1653), Latin Secretary to Charles I, after a portrait by Daniel Mijtens I (1590-1647), leading artist at the court of Charles I for much of the 1620s and 1630s. Engraving by William Faithorne (c.1620-91), printmaker who was apprenticed to the printseller William Peake, with whom he served in the royalist army during the civil war. At the Restoration Faithorne was appointed engraver in copper to the king, doubtless as reward for his devotion to the Stuart cause. The finest native British engraver born before the eighteenth century, Faithorne was highly esteemed by Pepys (who recorded many visits to his shop) while enthusiasts such as Horace Walpole ensured his posthumous reputation, which led to fine proofs of his work fetching extraordinary prices in the late Georgian period.
