[A pauper lying in bed; said to be the boy poet Thomas Chatterton.]
R. L. West pinxt. F. Bartolozzi R A sculps. 1801.
[London, 1801.]
Rare etching, 18th century watermark. 255 x 205mm (10 x 8"), with large margins.
A wasted young man with bare torso lying on a straw bed in an impoverished interior, looking up to the ceiling, his head bandaged; two mice, a spoon and a plate on the floor. He is lit from a window upper left. The plate was used to illustrate 'Juvenilia, or a Collection of poems' by James Henry Leigh Hunt. The artist, Raphael Lamar West (1769-1850), is said to have been inspired by the story of Thomas Chatterton (1752-70), a poet who spent his last months in poverty in a London attic before committing suicide at the age of 17. Chatterton's life and work had a powerful effect on the Romantic imagination; witness Wordsworth's tribute: 'the marvellous boy, The sleepless soul, that perished in his pride'. Raphael Lamar West, painter and lithographer, was the son of Benjamin West.

London, Pub.d by R. Ackermann & Co. 96 Strand, 1.st Dec.r 1829.
Lithograph. Sheet 255 x 170mm (10 x 6¾"). Laid on album paper with a photographic carte-à-visite and a news clipping.
Eng and Chang Bunker (1811-1874), the original 'Siamese Twins', conjoined at birth. When the boys were 17 they were exhibited in Europe and America by Scottish merchant Robert Hunter, and examined by doctors. In 1832 they realised that their new manager, Captain Coffin, was taking most of their profits, and made a separate arrangement with the circus owner Phineas T. Barnum. The visiting card, by the London Stereoscopic & Photographic Company, features a photograph of the twins as older men. It was probably taken on their trip to Britain in 1868-9, their first in 30 years.

His 1768 'Essay on Prints' first outlined his theories of the picturesque, which were developed in a series of books on picturesque beauty in various parts of Britain. The proceeds from his books enabled Gilpin to build and endow two schools at Boldre in the New Forest, where he had been vicar since 1777. Gilpin was parodied by William Coombe in 'The Tour of Dr Syntax in Search of the Picturesque', with illustrations by Thomas Rowlandson. Gilpin, however, was ambivalent about the fame and wealth derived from his writings on art, preferring to emphasise his religious work (as this portrait demonstrates). From the 1781 portrait by Henry Walton (London, National Portrait Gallery).

Engraved by J. Hopwood.
[n.d., c.1790.]
Stipple engraving, 176 x 115mm (7 x 4½"), with large margins on 3 sides.
John Hawkesworth (c.1715 - 1773) compiled ‘An Account of the Voyages undertaken by order of his present Majesty for making Discoveries in the Southern Hemisphere...', 1773, which contained the official account of Captain Cook's first circumnavigation. Adverse criticism to the book affected his health and he died the year of publication. This is engraved from a portrait by Reynolds.

It also notes that 'Malone also records that Sir Joshua Reynolds told him that Hawkesworth was latterly ‘an affected insincere man and a great coxcomb in his dress'.
