[The Aqueduct of Hadrian.]
Stuart del.t. Lerpiniere Sculp.t.
[London: Elizabeth Stuart, 1794.]
Engraving, with large margins. 330 x 500mm, 13 x 19½".
A view of the remains of the Aqueduct of Hadrian, on the slopes of Anchesmos, to the north east of the Acropolis in Athens, published in the 'Antiquities of Athens and Other Monuments of Greece' by James 'Athenian' Stuart & Nicholas Revett. Stuart (1713–88) and Revett (1720–1804) joined Gavin Hamillton and Matthew Brettingham on a Grand Tour of Italy, the Balkans & Greece between 1748-55. On their return they started work on the 'Antiquities', which was the first accurate survey of the surviving classical buildings of Athens, with the first volume published in 1762, the second 1789, third 1794, fourth 1816 and fifth 1830 (nearly 80 years after the first). The work was incredibly influential, fueling the Greek revivalist style in 18th-century English architecture. The attention to detail was such that it attracted the attention of Hogarth, who satirised the work with his 'Five Orders of Periwig'.

A View in the Island of Jamaica, of the Bridge crossing the River Cobre near Spanish Town. Dedicated to William Beckford Esq.r of Somerley in Suffolk, by his most Obliged Servant, John Boydell. No. 6.
Drawn on the Spot & Painted by George Robertson. Engraved by Daniel Lerpiniere.
Published March 25th, 1778 by John Boydell Engraver in Cheapside London.
Mixed-method engraving. 405 x 560mm (16 x 22"). Trimmed to platemark, dedication and publisher's inscription weakly inked. Crease at bottom of image. Right hand corner in border made up.
Plate 8 of six views of Jamaica by George Robertson, of which three were his patron William Beckford's sugar plantations in Jamaica. The illegitimate nephew of Alderman Beckford, William inherited four such estates but squandered his wealth (for example employing Mozart as his son's piano teacher) and lost his holdings. He returned to London in 1776 and seems to have sold the paintings to Boydell for publishing. The John Carter Brown Library's exhibition, 'Aestheticizing the Landscape of Sugar', describes the engravings as 'the most aesthetically ambitious views of Jamaica published in the eighteenth century'.
