Fine mezzotint, 18th century watermark. 335 x 235mm (13¼ x 9¼"). Small margins.
Portrait of John Hay (1625 - 1697), 17th-century Scottish statesman, 2nd Earl and 1st Marquess of Tweeddale, and Lord High Chancellor of Scotland from 1692 to 1696. During the English Civil War, he repeatedly shifted his allegiance between the Royalist cause and the Parliamentarians. He initially supported Charles I joining him at Nottingham in 1642. In 1644, however, he fought for Parliament at the Battle of Marston Moor, influenced by his views regarding the Covenanters. Four years later, he once again aligned with the Royalists, participating in the Battle of Preston.

Peat Bog, Scotland. M.
Drawn & Etched by J.M.W. Turner Esq.r R.A. Engraved by G. Clint.
Published April 23. 1812 by J.M.W. Turner, Queen Anne Street.
Mezzotint with etching, printed in sepia. 210 x 290mm (8¼ x 11¼"), with large margins
In the centre, a morass in deep shadow, with mountains on the right. In the foreground, men are cutting turf, and to the left is a horse and cart. Rawlinson (p.110) noted that 'Peat Bog has always ranked among the great plates of the Liber. Finer mezzotint work than that of the sky would be impossible; but it was of necessity so delicate that it can only adequately be seen in early impressions'.
