Napoleon. [Fac Simile d'un Dessin de Girodet-Trioson, fait d'après nature à la Chapelle de l'Empereur, le 8 Mars 1812.]
8 Mars GTR [monogram of Anne-Louis Girodet-Trioson]. [G. Maile sc.]
Published by R.G. Jones 34 Brewer Street Golden Square London October 1827.
Scarce & fine proof mezzotint, before 'Fac Simile' inscription. 300 x 255mm (11¾ x 10") large margins. Unidentified collector's stamp in lower margin.
Double portrait of Napoleon, after a drawing by Anne-Louis Girodet-Trioson (1767-1824), who was closely associated with the emperor. He was commissioned to paint an allegory based on James Macpherson's Ossianic legends for Napoleon's country retreat at Malmaison, while Vivant Denon commissioned him to paint Napoleon receiving the keys to Vienna and the Revolt at Cairo (both now in Versailles). In 1812 he was commissioned to paint 36 portraits of Napoleon in his Coronation Robes for the Imperial Courts and had completed 26 by 1814. In 1815, the year of Napoleon's abdication for the final time, Girodet came into a considerable inheritance, after which his output decreased considerably.

A. Ramsay Pinx.t. 1766. C. Corbutt [pseudonym of Richard Purcell] fecit.
Fine mezzotint. 355 x 255mm (14 x 10"), large margins, 18th century watermark.
Half-length portrait of the philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau wearing fur hat and fur-lined coat, the Armenian costume he wore when he fled his native Switzerland to settle in Paris. This portrait was painted during his stay in England (January 1766 to May 1767). The engraver was Richard Purcell, who used the pseudonym Corbutt when pirating the works of others, often for Robert Sayer, in this case one by David Martin. Chaloner Smith was not a fan of Rousseau: in his entry for the Martin plate he writes Rousseau wrote ''plays and novels'' and ''published other works of a quasi philosophical character".

John III Sobieski (1629 - 1696), king of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania. Sobieski was one of the most notable monarchs of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. His reign was marked by conflict with Ottoman forces attempting to advance into Europe. Soon after becoming king in 1674 he recommenced the war against the Ottomans, and followed by unsuccessful attempts to conquer Prussia. Sobieski eventually found himself with few allies, leading to a pact with Leopold I of Austria that the two rulers would help each other if their countries were threatened. In 1683 Sobieski was called to defend Austria against the invading Ottoman Turks at the Battle of Vienna, in a famous victory that saw Sobieski acclaimed as 'Saviour of Europe'.
