[View of the Bridge over the Ilissus River connecting the Panathenaic Stadium with the city of Athens. ]
Stuart del.t. Tho.s Medland Sculp.t.
Published Jan.y 30th 1791 by Eliz:th Stuart Leicesterfields.
Engraving with large margins on 3 sides. 350 x 490mm, 13¾ x 19".
A view of the bridge over the Ilissus, south-east of the Acropolis, published in the 'Antiquities of Athens and Other Monuments of Greece' by James 'Athenian' Stuart & Nicholas Revett. In the foreground are shepherds, two with musical instruments, a third with a pipe. The bridge led to the Panathenaic Stadium, now rebuilt and site of the first modern Olympic Games. Stuart (1713–88) and Revett (1720–1804) joined Gavin Hamillton and Matthew Brettingham on a Grand Tour of Italy, the Balkans & Greece between 1748-55. On their return they started work on the 'Antiquities', which was the first accurate survey of the surviving classical buildings of Athens, with the first volume published in 1762, the second 1789, third 1794, fourth 1816 and fifth 1830 (nearly 80 years after the first). The work was incredibly influential, fueling the Greek revivalist style in 18th-century English architecture. The attention to detail was such that it attracted the attention of Hogarth, who satirised the work with his 'Five Orders of Periwig'.
Stuart's gouache of the bridge is in the Victoria and Albert Museum, RIBA Library Drawings Collection, SD146/1.

A full-length portrait of George Cartwright (c.1739-1819), wearing furs and snowshoes, leading a blinkered greyhound.

In 1772 he returned to London with five Inuit to exhibit, four of whom died of smallpox. The fifth, a woman called Qavvik, returned home in 1773 taking the disease with her: less than a year later Cartwright noted that ''The Inuit of southern Labrador were almost entirely wiped out by the disease". In 1786 Cartwright returned to England for good and published his diary, 'A Journal of Transactions and Events during a Residence of nearly Sixteen Years on the Coast of Labrador', to which this is an illustration.

Skeches of a rocky island in the Kermadec Islands, named by the artist, Lieutenant John Watts, after one of the crew of the 'Lady Penryn', the first Europeans to visit the area. From Phillip's 'The voyage of Governor Phillip to Botany Bay', published in London in 1789, although illustrating Watts's account of the return voyage via Canton, also described in the book. Watts (1755–1801) had been a midshipman in Resolution on James Cook's third voyage to the Pacific, 1776-80, but had travelled to Australia with the First Fleet as a passenger. On the return leg he was the supercargo (i.e.. in charge of the cargo).
