Francesco Bartolozzi (1725-1815), Florentine engraver, elected a founding member of the Royal Academy in 1768 (the RA did not admit engravers at this time but made an exception in his case). He was already hailed as the best engraver in Italy when he met George III's librarian Richard Dalton in 1763. Dalton invited Bartolozzi to London with a promise of an appointment as engraver to the king. In England he became the most celebrated exponent of the 'stipple' technique whereby he produced prints using dots rather than lines. The publisher, Hannah Macklin, was the widow of Thomas Macklin, continuing his business after his death in 1801.
