[A set of four etchings by Benjamin Green].
B. Green f.
Pub.d Nov.r 24, 1806, by Laurie & Whittle, 58 Fleet Street, London.
Four bound etchings. Platemark: 123 x 90mm (5 x 3½") each. Time staining to edges of sheets. Puncture holes in bottom margin on all four sheets. Bound at top margin by thread.
A set of four etchings by Benjamin Green (1739 - 1798), plates numbered 1 - 4. Plate 1; untitled, depicts three figures on a large boulder by the side of a path, with what appears to be a ruined building behind. Two other figures, one on horseback, can be seen in the distance. Plate 2; 'At Abingdon'. Two figures are stood outside a house with a ladder leaning up against it. A dog can be see to the right. Plate 3; 'At Islington'. A figure is sat in the foreground with a dog, facing towards a large Georgian house. A church spire can be seen in the background to the left. Plate 4; untitled scene at the waters edge, with a sailing boat in the centre. Two figures can be seen in the foreground, one kneeling down to a basket, the other standing. Green was one of the first English artists to use soft-ground etching (the technique employed here). Many of his plates were sold on to other publishers, with the result that impressions continued to be printed posthumously (as here).

A View of the Physic Gardens in the University of Oxford. [parallel text in French]
J. Green delin et sculp
London, Printed for Rob.t Sayer, Map & Printseller No 53 in Fleet Street, as the Act directs 10 August 1773.
Engraving with original hand-colouring, platemark 340 x 460mm (13½ x 18"). Tears; very fine and rare.
Rare view of the Oxford Physic Garden, with putti presenting plans and scroll bearing the inscription on the entrance to the garden. The view focuses on the famous gateway and entrance portico built by Nicholas Stone after designs by Inigo Jones. Founded in 1621 by Henry Danvers, Earl of Danby, its purpose was the study of medicinal plants. Building the Garden, on the site of the former medieval Jewish cemetery, cost the enormous sum of £5000. Much of that sum went on the walls which enclosed the original garden, and comparatively little was left for plants! It was renamed the Oxford Botanic Garden in 1840 and is the oldest surviving physic and botanic garden in Britain.

London, Printed for Robt. Sayer No.53 Fleet Street. [n.d., c.1770.]
Mezzotint, image 325 x 250mm,fine, 12¾ x 9¾". Trimmed to plate and glued to album page at corners.
Interior; a woman with a tall hat standing on a half barrel, her hands clasped, surrounded by other Quakers, male and female. After Egbert van Heemskerck I (1645 - 1704), who specialised in genre subjects in the Dutch taste, especially scenes set in taverns, courts and schools. To these he added a genre that he invented, the Quaker painting. In the second half of the seventeenth century Quakers has a dubious reputation as one of the extreme non-conformist sects. They were marked out by their clothes and their strange services, and were subject to civil penalties for refusing to take the oath of allegiance or pay tithes. Their modern respectability came much later. Of the many paintings that Heemskerk made of these outcasts, four were turned into prints, all with the same title, The Quaker's Meeting. A copy in reverse of a c.1685 print by Isaac Beckett.
