[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.]
Etching on india paper. Sheet 170 x 195mm (6¾ x 7¾"). Sheet trimmed; some spotting.
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), seems to have been inspired by the story of Thomas Chatterton (1752 - 1770), a poet who spent his last months in poverty in a London attic before committing suicide at the age of 17. The print has been labelled 'The Death of Chatterton', as indeed this impression is captioned, in pencil, to verso. 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.

Christ's Charge to Peter. [parallel text in Latin]
Raphael d'Urbin pinx.t
London. Printed for John Bowles in Cornhil, & Carington Bowles in St Pauls Church Yard.
Mezzotint with very large margins, platemark approx 260 x 350mm (10¼ x 13¾").
One from a set of seven mezzotints reproducing Raphael's cartoons, commissioned by Pope Leo X as designs for a set of large designs for tapestries to cover the lower walls of the Sistine Chapel. In 1623 the seven cartoons, depicting the Acts of St Peter and St Paul, were brought to England by Charles I. They were long displayed at Hampton Court and various engravings such as these in the 18th century reinforced the reputation of the cartoons as some of the most significant artworks in the country. Since 1865 they have been on loan from the Royal Collection to London's Victoria & Albert Museum, where they are permanently displayed together.

The Right Honble: Charles James Fox.
Drawn by I.R. Smith. Engraved by S.W. Reynolds.
London: Publish'd Octr. 13. 1806, by S.W. Reynolds, 47, Poland Street.
Very fine stipple. Plate 422 x 306mm. Sheet 593 x 440mm. Some tears in the margins.
Charles James Fox (1749-1806), styled The Honourable from 1762, as a prominent British Whig statesman whose parliamentary career spanned thirty-eight years. Fox was the first foreign secretary of the United Kingdom and vocal supporter of American independence. Also known for his rivalry with William Pitt the Younger and a staunch opponent of George III he was reckless in politics as at the gaming tables. Fox held office briefly as a Tory under Lord North then led the opposition. Fox strongly criticised Lord North and the conduct of the American war, viewing the cause of the American patriots as a struggle for liberty against oppressive external power. He supported the revolutionaries of the United States, often dressing in the colours of George Washington's army. He championed America's cause, denouncing taxation of Americans without their consent. Reform was a passion but as a supporter of the revolutionary cause in France, his credibility was diminished from 1792 by the excesses of the French revolutionaries.

Painted by I.R. Smith. Engraved by W. Ward Engraver to H.R.H. the Duke of York.
Published May 29, 1811, by I.R. Smith, 33, Newman Street, Oxford Street, London.
Mezzotint, with large margins, 650 x 450mm. 25½ x 17¾".
John Horne Tooke (1736 - 1812), radical politician and philologist. Horne Tooke was an ardent campaigner for liberty and parliamentary reform who helped establish 'The Society for Supporting the Bill of Rights' and was instrumental in organising the distribution of Thomas Paine's The Rights of Man in 1791. In 1794 he was wrongly accused of planning an uprising and imprisoned in the Tower of London. William Godwin's written attack against the charge of high treason was widely read and seen as contributing decisively to Horne Tooke's eventual acquittal. Horne Tooke also achieved widespread acclaim for the Diversions of Purley (1786 and 1805), a major two-volume work of philology, the study of ancient texts and languages. He reclines on a sofa-bed beneath a canopy, his hands clasped together, books beneath him and notes towards a third volume of the Diversions of Purley at his feet. After John Raphael Smith (1751 - 1812). 'First Fifty' inscribed lower right corner.

According to a letter written by Strange to the 'Scots Magazine' in 1761: 'leave was solicited, and after much difficulty granted [with the help of Cardinal Carlo Rezzonico, nephew of Pope Clement XIII], that I should erect a scaffold in the Vatican, which, for several years past, has been absolutely prohibited. I began, in that place, with two figures; the one representing 'Justice', and the other 'Meekness', by Raphael; they are in the Hall of Constantine, and were the last things he painted before his death.

The death of Ananias, struck down in front of the Apostles gathered on a platform at centre. Ananias and his wife Sapphira were, according to the Acts of the Apostles, members of the Early Christian church in Jerusalem. Ananias dropped dead suddenly after attempting to deceive the Holy Spirit by withholding part of the profit from the sale of a piece of land. Engraved from one of the famous cartoons executed by Raphael (1483 - 1520) for a series of tapestries for the Sistine Chapel, which were bought by Charles I. The cartoons were placed in Hampton Court Palace in 1699 and are now on permanent display at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London. The first set of engravings of the cartoons were produced by Nicolas Dorigny between 1711-1719, after which several other sets were made. This mezzotint is by Elisha Kirkall (1681/2-1742), one of the most distinctive of British engravers. Often printed in a blue-green ink which itself was innovative at a time when almost all British prints were still printed in black, Kirkall used the mezzotint technique which in the 17th and 18th century was used predominantly for portraits and domestic subjects, and used it to render a much wider range of subjects.
