Thomas Wyck (or 'Wijck', 1616-77) was a Flemish painter whose interiors are said to have influenced Thomas Wright of Derby. Alchemy was a subject he returned to frequently. A pre-Fire prospect of London by Wyck is in the Devonshire Collection, Chatsworth.

Mezzotint, platemark 295 x 185mm (11¾ x 7¼"), with very large margins. Proof before letters.
Mezzotint after a painting by Thomas Wijck, from 'The Houghton Gallery', a set of 162 prints reproducing paintings from the collection of Sir Robert Walpole at Houghton. The project was initiated by John Boydell after it had become increasingly likely that the collection would have to be sold (the paintings were eventually sold to Catherine of Russia in 1778 and are now part of the Hermitage Museum's collections). The plates were published from 1774 to 1788 in two volumes.
