Will.m Shenston Esq.r From an Original Picture in the possession of W.G. Waldron.
Clamp sculp.t
[n.d. c.1795.]
Stipple, laid on album sheet. 177 x 128mm (7 x 5"). Cut, some slight spotting.
William Shenstone (1714-1763), a seldom read poet from the Midlands. His first poems were published whilst he studied at Oxford, although he left without completing his degree. He retired at the farming estate of Leasowes and continued to write poetry in a pastoral vein. Shenstone coined the term 'landscape gardener', and created one of the earliest and most influential landscape gardens, his ferme ormee. He diverted streams to create waterfalls, and stage-managed the landscape to create views that unfolded from carefully chosen vantage points.

To his Grace the Duke of Leeds President, & the Toxophilite Scociety of London, This Portrait of Sir Willm. Wood, a Celebrated Archer of the last Century...[etc.]
S. Harding delin. I Clamp sculp.
London, Pubd. by E & S. Harding, Pall Mall 21 May 1793.
Stipple, 225 x 180mm. 9 x 7".
Sir William Wood (1609 - 1691), toxophilite, born in 1609, was for many years marshal of the Finsbury archers, who held their meetings in Finsbury Fields. He was probably knighted by Charles II for his skill in the use of the bow. In 1676 his society or regiment purchased a badge or shield to be worn by their marshal, and the decoration, known as the ‘Catherine of Braganza Shield,’ passed to successive marshals till 1736, when the office was abolished. Subsequently each succeeding captain of the Easter target held it till it passed into the hands of the Royal Toxophilite Society on its formation in 1781. This society also absorbed the few remaining Finsbury archers.
