A Banditti Made Prisoners. From an Original Drawing of Mr. Mortimer's, in the Possession of Mr. Wright of Derby.
Etcht by Tho.s Hardy.
London, 1805.
Etching. 395 x 495mm (15½ x 19½"), with small margins.
Two bandits held captive, presumably by the aggressive man in the background, while two country folk stand watch. It is likely the inscription refers to Joseph Wright of Derby, which suggests this scene was drawn in 1774 when Mortimer and Wright were working together on illustrations of the Captive from Sterne's 'A Sentimental Journey'.

![[Jan Ladislav Dussek?]](jpegs/48310.jpg)
[Jan Ladislav Dussek?]
Painted & Engraved by T. Hardy.
[n.d., c.1800.]
Mezzotint. Plate: 340 x 250mm (13½ x 9¾''). Trimmed to plate.
A portrait of a man with powdered hair and a frilled cravat. Chaloner Smith identifies the sitter as Czech composer Jan Ladislav Dussek (1760-1812), and the features resemble a portrait titled 'J. L. Dussek' published in 1793 by J. Bland, however, there are several differences. Dussek was one of the earliest piano virtuosos to travel widely throughout Europe and was a favourite of both Catherine the Great and Marie Antoinette.
