![[Ann Fanshawe] Ann, Daughter of S:r John Harrison of Balls, by Margaret Daughter of Rob:t Fanshawe Esq:re,](jpegs/59280.jpg)
[Ann Fanshawe] Ann, Daughter of S:r John Harrison of Balls, by Margaret Daughter of Rob:t Fanshawe Esq:re, Wife to S:r Rich:d Fanshawe Bart: Amb:r to Spain.
Etched by CM Fanshawe.
[n.d., c.1800.]
Etching. Sheet 115 x 85mm (4½ x 3¼"). Trimmed within plate and laid on album paper, damp stain.
A portrait of Ann Harrison (1625-1680), from a sketch based on an oil by Cornelis Janssens van Ceulen, now in the Valence House Museum. In 1644 she married Richard Fanshawe, her second cousin, a Royalist who later helped broker Charles II's marriage to Catherine of Braganza. A book on household economy compiled by Ann in 1665 contains the earliest known European recipe for ice cream. Catherine Maria Fanshawe (1765-1834) was best known for her poetry, including the 'Riddle on the Letter H', which was originally mistakenly ascribed to Lord Byron.

Dr. Harvey.
Vandyke Pinx.t
[Laurie & Whittle 1794]
Rare mezzotint, sheet 315 x 230mm (12½ x 9"). Trimmed inside platemark lower edge, losing publication line; glued to backing sheet.
William Harvey (1578-1657), physician and discoverer of the circulation of the blood. While Harvey's discoveries are now universally acknowledged, he met with much opposition during his own time. This portrait wrongly claims to be after van Dyck- more likely the source image is by Cornelis Janssens. The engraving is by James MacArdell, but he left the plate unfinished at the time of his death. This is the published state (after additional work by another hand), issued by Laurie & Whittle in 1794.
Ex: collection of the late Hon. C. Lennox-Boyd; Goodwin 114 ii/ii; CS (MacArdell) 102 ii/ii; O'D 8. Wellcome collection: 4026i.
