John Hawkesworth L.L.D. Done from an Original Picture in the possession of the Hon.ble Mr Fitzmaurice.
Sir Joshua Reynolds pinx. / J. Hall sculp.
Publish'd according to Act of Parliament Jan. 1.st 1775 by T. Cadell in the Strand.
Engraving, sheet 170 x 105mm (7 x 4"). Trimmed inside platemark.
John Hawkesworth (c.1720 - 1773), writer. He is said to have been clerk to an attorney, and was certainly self-educated. In 1744, he succeeded Samuel Johnson as compiler of the parliamentary debates for the Gentleman's Magazine. In company with Johnson and others, he started a periodical called 'The Adventurer', which ran to 140 issues, of which 70 were from the pen of Hawkesworth himself. Hawkesworth was a close imitator of Johnson both in style and thought, and was at one time on very friendly terms with him. It is said that he presumed on his success, and lost Johnson's friendship as early as 1756. Hawkesworth is most remembered today for his compiling of the three-volume 'An account of the voyages undertaken by the order of His present Majesty for making discoveries in the Southern Hemisphere...', which contained the official account of James Cook's first circumnavigation, on which Cook mapped New Zealand and the east coast of Australia accurately for the first the time. 'As a man of versatile talents who was widely read and a leading figure in the cultural life of eighteenth-century London, his virtual eclipse in the twentieth century seems curious' (DNB). Frontispiece to 'The Adventurer'.

Engraving. Sheet size: 230 x 150mm. (9 x 6"). Trimmed inside platemark.
A portrait of Samuel Johnson (1709-1784), in a decorative trompe l'oeil border with Johnson's date of birth and death above. Johnson was an English author who made lasting contributions to English literature as a poet, essayist, moralist, novelist, literary critic, biographer, editor and lexicographer. Johnson was a devout Anglican and political conservative, and has been described as "arguably the most distinguished man of letters in English history". He is also the subject of "the most famous single work of biographical art in the whole of literature": James Boswell's Life of Samuel Johnson. After working as a teacher he moved to London, where he began to write essays for The Gentleman's Magazine. His later works included essays, an influential annotated edition of William Shakespeare's plays, and the widely read novel Rasselas. In 1763, he befriended James Boswell, with whom he later travelled to Scotland; Johnson described their travels in A Journey to the Western Islands of Scotland. Towards the end of his life, he produced the massive and influential Lives of the Most Eminent English Poets, a collection of biographies and evaluations of 17th- and 18th-century poets.

Unfilled printed invitation with etched illustration on laid paper, sheet c.275 x 215mm. 10¾ x 8½". Creases where folded; age toned and laid on tissue backing. Left margin partially missing.
The Cumberland Fleet is an alternative name still occasionally used of the Royal Thames Yacht Club (RTYC), the oldest sailing club in the United Kingdom. Its headquarters are located at 60 Knightsbridge, London, overlooking Hyde Park. The club was first formed in 1775 by Prince Henry, Duke of Cumberland and Strathearn, younger brother of King George III, who made a silver cup available for a race on the River Thames. This cup is held aloft in the illustration by a figure of Neptune who rides on the waves in an oyster shell with a British maritime flag accompanied by three other allegorical/mythological figures. This group heads towards racing sailing boats in the distance far left. Members of the club in these early years met in coffee houses. The club owned various properties in London from 1857 onwards and moved to its present location in 1923.
