[n.d. c. 1760].
Mezzotint, platemark 410 x 290mm (16 x 11½"). Staining below image. Small margins.
Edward Bright, a grocer from Maldon, Essex, famed for his corpulence. Amongst other men of the 18th century also famous for their weight, Bright, at 42 stone, far exceeded John Love of Weymouth (d.1793, 26 stone) but was still far from the weight of the most famous, Daniel Lambert of Leicester (1770-1809, 52¾ stone). An American contemporary, Miles Darden, outweighed even Lambert at 71 stone. Mezzotint published by the Haid family of Nuremberg, Germany, copied from a mezzotint by James McArdell, the well-known Irish engraver. McArdell's print was itself based on a portrait by David Ogborne (d.1800/1801), a painter based in Chelmsford, Essex who gained a certain reputation by painting local provincial monsters such as a calf with six legs and a winged fish.

Die Andacht. / Wan sich die Gottesfurcht auf schönen Wangen findet, / Und mit der Jugned Flor ein fromes Herz verbindet, / Wird eines solchen Kinds verdienter Ruhm erhöht, / Schaut, eitle Töchter! Schaut, wie dies so schöne Steht. Meditabunda devotio. / Religionis opus pingens clarissima forma, / Inter virgineos fax pietate choros, / Emicat ut fulgens coeli inter sidera luna, / Illustris pietas ecce venusta simul.

Die harte Erziehung. / Ein Herz, das Freundlichkeit und Gütigkeit vergist, / Wird mit verstiegnem Stolz kein Herz vernünfftig ziehen, / Die Weißheit weiß gar klug die Härtigkeit zu fliehen, / Ob sie in Wort un Werck gleich scharf und ernstlich ist. Dura educatio. / Dum jucunda fugit prudentis gratia vultus, / Filiolam mater fingere nulla potest. / Evitat duram vigilaris prudential mentem, / Severaque tamen pectoral lege regit.
