The Canterbury Pilgrims.
The Canterbury Pilgrims.
Painted by Thomas Stothard Esq.r R.A. Etched by Lewis Schiavonetti, V.A. and Finished by James Heath A.R.A. Historical Engraver to His Majesty, and to H.R.H. the Prince Regent, &c.
London: Published for the Proprietors by R. Cribb, N.º 288 Holborn, October 1, 1817.
Etching, state before key. 360 x 995mm (14¼ x 39¼"). Some restoration.
A procession of the pilgrims immortalised by Geoffrey Chaucer's 'Canterbury Tales', on horseback, led by a piper, based on the painting on oak by Thomas Stothard (1806-7, now in the Tate Gallery, N01163). Robert Cromek commissioned the painting, putting it on show at a shilling per visitor. He also asked Italian stipple engraver Luigi Schiavonetti (1765-1810) to make a plate, but Schiavonetti only completed the outline etching. As a tribute to the engraver, Cromek published the incomplete print in 1810. The incomplete plate was then given to Francis Engleheart to complete, but Cromek’s death in 1812 stalled the project. Cromek’s widow, Elizabeth, gave the plate to Niccolo Schiavonetti, Louis's younger brother, but he too died. The plate was finally completed by James Heath and was published for Elizabeth, on 1st October 1817. A later state, with a full key identifying each pilgrim, was printed by W.H. Worthington, also for Elizabeth. The print also caused a rift between Stothard and his friend William Blake: Blake claimed that Cromek had commissioned a painting of the Canterbury Pilgrims from him first, but Cromek had not liked the design and so took the commission to Stothard. Blake accused Cromek and, through him, Stothard, of copying his long, frieze-like composition

[Sir Launcelot enjoying the Humours of a General Election] Launcelot Greaves
[Stothard del Blake sculp]
[Published as the Act directs by Harrison & Co. Sep. 21, 1782]
Engraving, sheet 135 x 75mm (5¼ x 3"). Trimmed to image, losing text.
Illustration to Tobias Smollett's novel 'The Adventures of Launcelot Greaves' (first published 1760-62), a picaresque novel reminiscent of 'Don Quixote' (which Smollett had translated), published for the 'Novelist's Magazine'. This scene is strongly reminiscent of William Hogarth's 'Chairing the Member', from his set of paintings (and prints), 'Humours of an Election' (paintings c.1754-5, now in the John Soane Museum). Engraving by William Blake (1757-1827), visionary artist and poet who also worked as a journeyman engraver. This early work was one of many Blake engraved from designs by his friend Thomas Stothard, Britain's most prolific book illustrator. While establishing himself as a copy engraver in the early 1780s, Blake was also studying at the Royal Academy and developing the highly personal approach he used in his original watercolours.
