Signora Baccelli.
Painted by T. Gainsborough R.A. Engraved by John Jones.
London Pub.d Feb.y 5th 1784 by J. Jones No. 63 Great Portland Street Marylebone.
Rare mezzotint. 535 x 350mm (21 x 13¾"), with largemargins on three sides. Slight mark centre top. Top area slightly rubbed.
Giovanna Baccelli (1774, fl.- d.1801), dancer. Baccelli, first appeared at the King's Theatre, Haymarket in 1774. She reached the peak of her career during the 1780-1 season when she appeared with Gaetan Vestris and his son Auguste in several important ballets devised by Noverre. She also danced in Venice in 1783-4, and at the Paris Opéra as late as 1788. Baccelli was equally known as a mistress of John Frederick Sackville, 3rd Duke of Dorset (1745-99), who had set up Baccelli in a suite of rooms at Knole by October 1779. Baccelli accompanied him to Paris in 1783 when he was appointed Ambassador to France. They entertained lavishly, patronising the Paris Opéra, and were admitted to the friendship of Queen Marie-Antoinette. Horace Walpole records that when the Duke was awarded the Order of the Garter in 1788, Baccelli danced at the Opéra wearing the blue Garter ribbon around her head. As the events of the French Revolution unfolded, the pair returned to Knole, where Baccelli remained until their amicable parting in 1789. Engraved by John Jones after the portrait by Thomas Gainsborough (exhibited 1782) which hangs in Tate Britain. Gainsborough was well-acquainted with many theatre people, including Richard Brinsley Sheridan, the famous dramatist and part-owner of the King's Theatre. When this portrait was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1782, Gainsborough's portrait of the Duke of Dorset was withdrawn, presumably for reasons of decorum. As well as commissioning this portrait, the Duke also patronised Gainsborough's great rival Joshua Reynolds, who painted Baccelli in 1783.

[Bristol during the Reform Act Riots of 1831] View of the New Prison & Two Toll Houses, on Fire. As it Appeared, Oct. 30th 1831
J. Jones sc. Pub.d by A. Giudice [c.1832]
Etching and aquatint, sheet 95 x 120mm (3¾ x 4¾"). Very rare.
One of several prints made in the wake of the 1831 Bristol Riots. These were amongst the several manifestations of civil unrest which took place after the House of Lords rejected the second Reform Bill. The Reform Bill aimed to improve 'rotten boroughs' standards and to give Britain's fast growing industrial towns greater representation in the House of Commons. The riots continued for three days during which the palace of Robert Gray the Bishop of Bristol, the Mansion House, and private homes and property were looted and destroyed, along with the demolition of much of the gaol and toll houses. Work on the Clifton Suspension Bridge was halted and Isambard Kingdom Brunel was sworn in as a special constable.

Stipple, sheet 190 x 140mm (7½ x 5½"). Trimmed, losing publication line; good impression. Bit messy.
Edmund Burke (1729/30-1797), Irish politician and author who served for many years in the House of Commons as a member of the Whig party. Burke is remembered for his support of the cause of the American Revolutionaries and for his later opposition to the French Revolution. He was thus seen as a leading figure within the conservative faction of the Whig parts, which he dubbed the "Old Whigs", in opposition to the pro-French-Revolution "New Whigs", led by Charles James Fox. He is also well-known for impeaching Warren Hastings, former Governor-General of Bengal, for his conduct in India. As an author (Hazlitt considered him the greatest prose writer in the English language) Burke is chiefly remembered for 'A Philosophical Enquiry into the Origin of our Ideas of the Sublime and Beautiful' (1757), which fuelled growing interest in the pictorial and literary appeal of landscape, and "Reflections on the Revolution in France" (1790), a founding text for modern political conservatism. Engraving after George Romney, probably published as a pendant to a portrait of Charles James Fox (see ref. 40559).

Mezzotint. Platemark: 500 x 350mm. (19¾ x 13¾"). Large margins. Unexamined out of frame.
Charles James Fox (1749-1806), styled The Honourable from 1762, as a prominent British Whig statesman whose parliamentary career spanned thirty-eight years. Fox was the first foreign secretary of the United Kingdom and vocal supporter of American independence. Also known for his rivalry with William Pitt the Younger and a staunch opponent of George III, he was reckless in politics as at the gaming tables. Fox held office briefly as a Tory under Lord North then led the opposition. Fox strongly criticised Lord North and the conduct of the American war, viewing the cause of the American patriots as a struggle for liberty against oppressive external power. He supported the revolutionaries of the United States, often dressing in the colours of George Washington's army. He championed America’s cause, denouncing taxation of Americans without their consent. Reform was a passion but as a supporter of the revolutionary cause in France, his credibility was diminished from 1792 by the excesses of the French revolutionaries.

Publish'd as the Act directs Oct.r 31 1781 by G. Carter Margaret Street. Cavendish Square.
Pair of scarce mezzotints. Each c.260 x 190mm (10¼ x 7½"). Staining.
Industry: a young woman knitting. Indolence: a woman sits outisde in the cold, clasping her feet to her for warmth. The two prints followed in the tradition of didactic art which Hogarth (in series such as 'Industry and Idleness') had used so masterfully. The painter, George Carter (bap.1737-d.1794), was baptised in Colchester, Essex before moving to London. He travelled to Rome with John Singleton Copley (although there they parted, and Copley later described Carter as ‘a sort of snail which crawled over a man in his sleep, and left its slime and no more’). After exhibiting regularly at the Royal Academy in the 1770s, Carter's apparent lack of success led him to travel more in later years, visiting Gibraltar, Russia and India.

Indolence. [&] Industry. Dedicated to the Young Ladies [parallel text in French]
G. Carter pinx.t. J. Jones fecit.
Publish'd as the Act directs Oct.r 31 1781 by G. Carter Margaret Street. Cavendish Square.
Pair of rare arce mezzotints. Each c.260 x 190mm (10¼ x 7½"). Both with old folds above publication line, 'Indolence' with more damage in margins.
Industry: a young woman knitting. Indolence: a woman sits outisde in the cold, clasping her feet to her for warmth. The two prints followed in the tradition of didactic art which Hogarth (in series such as 'Industry and Idleness') had used so masterfully. The painter, George Carter (bap.1737-d.1794), was baptised in Colchester, Essex before moving to London. He travelled to Rome with John Singleton Copley (although there they parted, and Copley later described Carter as ‘a sort of snail which crawled over a man in his sleep, and left its slime and no more’). After exhibiting regularly at the Royal Academy in the 1770s, Carter's apparent lack of success led him to travel more in later years, visiting Gibraltar, Russia and India.
