Etching, 220 x 150mm (8½ x 6"). Trimmed along platemark; glued to backing sheet with engraving of a tomb verso.
Portrait of William Camden (1550-1623), historian and herald, known for his 'Britannia' (1586), a copy of which his hands rest upon here. Engraved by Richard Gaywood as a plate to Sylvanus Morgan's 'Sphere of Gentry' (1661). The work consisted of four 'books', of which Josephs's Coat was the second, to which this was presumably the frontispiece. This engraving was taken from a portrait of Camden which was destroyed in the great fire of London in 1666. However, when Morgan became master of the Painter-Stainers' Company in 1676, he presented the company with a portrait of Camden (a former benefactor of the Painter-Stainers), worked up in turn from the Gaywood engraving. That portrait still hangs in the Painter-Stainers' hall.

[Dogs and cats in a yard.]
[Richard Gaywood.]
[British, n.d., c.1680.]
Etching, 140 x 210mm. 5½ x 8¼".
A greyhound and spaniel looking up at two squirrels in a tree upper right; two cats lower right, a mastiff chained to a thatched building at left, and a forth dog sitting at centre of composition. From a series of plates showing groups of animals, numbered '10' lower right. The composition derives from Francis Barlow's drawing of three dogs and two cats, which was etched in reverse by Gaywood for 'Variae quadrupedum species'. Gaywood modified this design, including another dog at bottom centre and another cat at lower right, and has removed one of the original cats and added the tree with squirrels in the background. This appears to be a reissue of his plate, with the number and a 'Y' added (upper right).

Etching, sheet 235 x 300mm (9¼ x 11¾"). Trimmed inside platemark and glued to album sheet at corners; 18th century print of Edward I's tomb verso. Rare.
The tomb of Sir Francis Vere (1560-1609) in the chapel of St John the Evangelist in Westminster Abbey, where his brother Horace is also buried. An army officer and diplomat, Vere is shown in civilian dress lying under a slab on which his suit of armour is laid out. The monument has been attributed to the sculptor Maximilian Colt. The Latin inscription below is probably the same as that on the tomb. Francis was one of the greatest soldiers serving under Elizabeth I and distinguished himself at the Battle of Nieuwpoort (1600) and during the defence of Ostend against the Spanish. He married Elizabeth, daughter of John Dent of London. His reputation was also enhanced by his 'Commentaries', the memoirs of his campaigns which were published posthumously.
