Publish'd Dec.r 16 by T. Macklin 1798.
Mezzotint. 305 x 255mm (12 x 10"). Trimmed to plate, old ink mss. in title area, slight soiling in edges.
The British Museum describes the sitter as Edward Meredith (c.1741-1824), bass singer of Liverpool. According to Fleming: ''One of the most acclaimed singers to be in the choir was Edward Meredith (d.1809), who had been discovered by Sir Watkin Williams Wynn in a cooper's workshop. Wynn subsequently paid for Meredith's education and launched him into a solo career. Meredith arrived in Durham in December 1778 and received a salary [as a lay-clerk] of £50 with an initial £10 given gratis. He quickly became crucial to the choir's concerts and filled the role of Polytheme in Acis and Galatea the following February. He also sang in Newcastle that same month''.
