Cap.t Ayscough. From an Original Sketch by Dance, in the Collection of Sir William Musgrave Bar.t.
S. Haring sculp.
Pub.d Dec.r 1 1794, by E. & S. Harding, Pall Mall.
Stipple. 190 x 140mm (7½ x 5½") very large margins.
A posthumously-published sketch portrait of George Edward Ayscough (d.1779), dramatist and guards officer, nephew of the first Lord Lyttelton. In 1776 he produced a version of Voltaire's ‘Semiramis’ at Drury Lane, which his brother officers attended in great force, securing its success. However Isaac Reed's '' Biographia dramatica'' (1782) described Ayscough as ‘a fool of fashion’ and ‘a parasite of Lord Lyttelton’; 'Seniranis' is condemned as contemptible. Ayscough also editored the ''Miscellaneous Works'' of Lord Lyttelton, published 1774.

Pen and ink and watercolour, image 239 x 165mm.
Portrait of the hatter and actor Charles Blakes (d.1763), in the character of 'Monsieur le Médecin', copied from the mezzotint portrait by James McArdell. The signature suggests the painter and watercolorist Samuel De Wilde (1751 - 1832), who was noted for his theatrical subjects. Probably this though is a copy by George Perfect Harding (1781 - 1853), portrait painter, copyist and antiquary.

Burbage [in pencil]. [Richard Burbage. The First Performer of King Richard III. From the Original Picture in Dulwich College…]
[S. Harding del et sculp.]
[n.d. c.1790.]
Stipple. Proof before letters. Image 157 x 126mm. Image stuck onto separate sheet.
Richard Burbage (1568-1619) was an actor and theatre owner. Burbage was a popular actor by his early 20s. His early acting career is poorly documented. It has been suggested that it included a stint in the Earl of Leicester's company, but there is no good evidence for this. He probably was acting with the Admiral's Men in 1590, with Lord Strange's Men in 1592, and with the Earl of Pembroke's Men in 1593; but most famously he was the star of William Shakespeare's theatre company, the Lord Chamberlain's Men which mutated into the King's Men on the ascension of James I in 1603. He played the title role in the first performances of many of Shakespeare's plays, including Hamlet, Othello, Richard III and King Lear. But he was in great demand and also appeared in the plays of many of the great contemporary writers, such as Ben Jonson (the title role in Volpone, and Subtle in The Alchemist), John Marston (The Malcontent), John Webster (The Duchess of Malfi) and Beaumont & Fletcher (The Maid's Tragedy).

Harding sc.
[Pub.d September 1 1799, by W. Stewart 194 Piccadilly.]
Stipple. Sheet size: 175 x 130mm (6½ x 5¼"). Trimmed inside platemark loosing publication line.
A half-length portrait in an oval of Major James George Semple (1759 - 1815), standing to left, looking ahead with his right arm thrown out a little. He is wearing military uniform with braiding, dark stock, white cravat and a wing collar. Semple was a notorious swindler and con-man in late eighteenth century Britain who was arrested numerous times for fraud and eventually deported to Australia in 1797 on the 'The Lady Shore', which suffered a mutiny on the Brazilian coast. After several months of travelling he was finally returned via Lisbon and Tangiers to England, where he spent time in Portsmouth before being taken to London and Tothill Field. On the 6 June 1805 Semple is reported as being in Paris, and is now suspected of being the well-known spy 'Facqs', after a letter from his public house in Piccadilly claims he was 'begging to be allowed to offer his services as a spy or instigator of mutiny on enemy ships, describing his fitness for these tasks, and requesting that his past faults and follies be overlooked'. After further arrests in the following years, including one in 1814 in which he was found guilty at the Middlesex sessions of obtaining bacon and butter by fraudulent means, Semple died in Lisbon, on his way to Morocco, to which he had apparently engaged to transport himself.

Semple was a notorious swindler and con-man in late eighteenth century Britain who was arrested numerous times for fraud and eventually deported to Australia in 1797 on the 'The Lady Shore', which suffered a mutiny on the Brazilian coast. After several months of travelling he was finally returned via Lisbon and Tangiers to England, where he spent time in Portsmouth before being taken to London and Tothill Field. On the 6 June 1805 Semple is reported as being in Paris, and is now suspected of being the well-known spy 'Facqs', after a letter from his public house in Piccadilly claims he was 'begging to be allowed to offer his services as a spy or instigator of mutiny on enemy ships, describing his fitness for these tasks, and requesting that his past faults and follies be overlooked'. After further arrests in the following years, including one in 1814 in which he was found guilty at the Middlesex sessions of obtaining bacon and butter by fraudulent means, Semple died in Lisbon, on his way to Morocco, to which he had apparently engaged to transport himself.
