Lord Byron
Painted by T. Phillips, R.A. Engraved by Edw.d Finden
London, Published by John Murray, 1827
Line engraving on india with very large margins, platemark 190 x 115mm (7½ x 6"). Tipped into album sheet.
George Gordon Noel Byron (1788-1824), British poet and archetypal Romantic figure. Byron was celebrated in life for aristocratic excesses including huge debts, numerous love affairs, rumours of a scandalous incestuous liaison with his half-sister, and self-imposed exile. He travelled to fight against the Ottoman Empire in the Greek War of Independence, for which Greeks revere him as a national hero. He died at 36 years old from a fever contracted while in Missolonghi, Greece. Engraved from the portrait by Thomas Phillips, which was undertaken as part of a commission by the publisher William Miller to paint the portraits of several poets whose works he published, the intention being to hang them together at Miller's house at 50 Albemarle Street, London. Annette Peach writes of the commission: "In 1813 Murray commissioned from Phillips a portrait of Byron (who brought the publisher more commercial success than any other of his writers), which still hangs over the drawing-room fireplace in Albemarle Street. The half-length view famously shows a pale-complexioned Byron in a white shirt with a large turned-down ‘Byronic' collar open at the neck to reveal his throat, and wrapped in a dark cloak. The dress and pose are identical to that of Charles Mayne Young in his portrait by G. H. Harlow (1809; Garrick Club, London), where the actor is portrayed as Hamlet, and it is possible that Byron saw Young perform this role. As in his portrait of Blake, Phillips's ability to convey the Romantic (and here self-dramatizing) cast of his sitter's imagination indicates that, although his œuvre is less flamboyant than that of his contemporary Sir Thomas Lawrence, he, too, was quintessentially a Romantic painter." One of several engravings made from Phillips' portrait.

Engraved from the portrait by Thomas Phillips, which was undertaken as part of a commission by the publisher William Miller to paint the portraits of several poets whose works he published, the intention being to hang them together at Miller's house at 50 Albemarle Street, London. Annette Peach writes of the commission: "In 1813 Murray commissioned from Phillips a portrait of Byron (who brought the publisher more commercial success than any other of his writers), which still hangs over the drawing-room fireplace in Albemarle Street. The half-length view famously shows a pale-complexioned Byron in a white shirt with a large turned-down ‘Byronic' collar open at the neck to reveal his throat, and wrapped in a dark cloak. The dress and pose are identical to that of Charles Mayne Young in his portrait by G. H. Harlow (1809; Garrick Club, London), where the actor is portrayed as Hamlet, and it is possible that Byron saw Young perform this role. As in his portrait of Blake, Phillips's ability to convey the Romantic (and here self-dramatizing) cast of his sitter's imagination indicates that, although his œuvre is less flamboyant than that of his contemporary Sir Thomas Lawrence, he, too, was quintessentially a Romantic painter."

Sir William Herschel (1738 - 1822), astronomer. In 1781 the amateur astronomer Herschel identified Uranus, the first planet to be discovered since Antiquity. He was appointed court astronomer to George III the following year, 1782. Working with his sister Caroline, whom he had trained, he made four complete surveys of the night sky and was the first person correctly to describe the Milky Way. Using his great forty-foot telescope constructed over four years, he found two new satellites of Saturn in 1789. Herschel's discoveries astonished the public and inspired Romantic writers like Blake, Byron and Keats. He discovered more than two thousand nebulae and over eight hundred double stars.

[Cambridge. Trinity College, King Edward's Gate.] 54. [Trinity College was founded in 1546 by Henry VIII., whose statue is above the gateway. It was formed by the amalgamation of a number of older foundations dating from 1324-1336. The Library of Trinity College was built by Wren, who took as his example the Sansovino Library of St. Mark, Venice. The north side of the court is occupied partly be the Chapel with a gateway-tower in the middle (at west end of the Chapel) known bu the name of King Edward's Gate. It was built about 1426-30, and is of quite a different character from that of the later and heavier gate (or Queen's Gate). Thiw was the first gateway-tower with four turrets to be erected in Cambridge; a form of tower which became characteristic of Cambridge colleges. Thomas Neville built westwards of the Gate a new range containing the Library, thus completing the north side of the quadrangle. Among the famous men of the college are John Donne, Abraham Cowley, Andrew Marvell, John Dryden, Sir Issac Newton, George Crabbe, Lord Morley, Lord Byron and Lord Tennyson.]

Mezzotint, platemark 510 x 355mm (20 x 14"), with large margins. Repaired tear on right; fold through title area; collector's stamp of Mrs E.M. Hamilton verso.
Sir Hyde Parker, fifth baronet (1714-1782/3), naval officer. Parker spent his career in the navy and was promoted to rear-admiral in 1778, travelling as second in command in the squadron going out to North America with Vice-Admiral John Byron during the American Revolutionary War (1775-83). After naval victories against the French in the Caribbean, Parker was promoted vice-admiral and commanded a squadron in the North Sea, engaging the Dutch fleet near the Dogger Bank in 1781. After the battle he resigned, blaming himself for the squadrons failure to secure a decisive victory despite the attempts of George III to persuade him otherwise (Parker told the king the navy needed younger commanders and newer ships). Fine mezzotint after the portrait by Romney (in or before 1782/3) in Melford Hall, Suffolk, a version of which is in the National Maritime Museum, London, which shows Parker gesturing to the Dogger Bank action behind him.

[Scott's Memorial. Princes Street, Edinburgh.] 64. [The monument to Sir Walter Scott is a graceful Gothic cross or tower, about 200 feet high. It forms a canopy beneath which is a figure of Scott seated with his favourite dog, and was carved in grey Carrara marble by Sir John Steell. The monument was erected between 1840 and 1844 from the design of George Kemp, a young architect who while travelling through Europe in order to study Gothic architecture, supported himself by working as an ordinary mason. In the niches are characters from some of Scott's work - Prince Charles Stewart, the Lady of the Lake, Meg Merrilies, and the Last Minstrel being the most notable, while the capitals of the pilasters supporting the vaulted roof are ornamented by likenesses of celebrated Scottish writers, including Burns, Hogg, Allan Ramsay, Smollett, Byron, James Thomson, James 1st and Drummond of Hawthornden. In the background may be seen the Castle.]
