[Banditti with a female captive.]
Mortimer Pinxit. J.R. Smith Sculpsit.
Published Feb.14th 1780 by J. Boydell Engraver in Cheapside London.
Mezzotint. 255 x 305mm (10 x 12"). Thread margins; glued to backing sheet at corners. Good impression of a rare print.
Banditti scene after John Hamilton Mortimer (1740-79), published soon after the artist's death. Influenced by the works of Salvator Rosa (immensely popular during the period), Mortimer incorporated Rosa's disturbing banditti and occult subject matter in the 1770s. This print is usually regarded as a generic banditti scene: a preparatory drawing in the collection of Richard Payne Knight (now in the British Museum) was etched by Robert Blyth and published in November 1780 with the title 'Banditti Returning'. However, a related painting by Mortimer (Newcastle, Hatton Gallery) is titled 'The Sacrifice of Polyxena'. In Euripides' plays, Polyxena was sacrificed at the end of the Trojan War to appease the gods.

Chryses, Priest of Apollo, invoking his God to revenge the Injuries done him by Agamemnon. Hom. Il.d
Painted by B. West / Engrav'd by J.R. Smith
Publish'd March 1st 1774, by W.m Humphrey, Gerrard Street, Soho, London.
Scarce mezzotint, platemark 510 x 355mm (20 x 14"). Some creasing off image; repaired breaks along platemark.
During the Trojan War, Agamemnon abducted Chryses' daughter Chryseis and refused Chryses' attempts to ransom her (the gifts which Agamemon rejected lay on the floor). As shown here, Chryses then prayed to Apollo (seen here riding through the sky in his chariot) for revenge, which came in the form of a plague which befell Agamemnon's army. He was forced to return Chryseis in order to end it. The reunion of Chryses with his daughter was perhaps a common theme for artists of this period than the anguished invocation depicted here. Mezzotint by J.R. Smith published in 1774, the year after Benjamin West's painting was exhibited at the Royal Academy. The print was later republished by John Boydell.

The Rev:d D:r Dodd.
[Engraved by J.R. Smith?]
London, Pub.d May 24, 1777, by J. Walker, N.13, Parliament Street.
Mezzotint, sheet 355 x 255mm (14 x 10"), with large margins. Left platemark cracked.
The Rev. William Dodd (1729 - 1777), parson and author who was hanged for forgery. In February 1777 he offered a bond for £4,200 in the name of Lord Chesterfield to a stockbroker named Robertson. Robertson procured the money, for which, according to Dodd, Chesterfield would pay an annuity of £700. Dodd then brought the bond apparently signed by the earl. The bond was transferred to the lender's solicitor, who noticed some odd marks on the document, saw the earl personally, learned that the signature was a forgery, and instantly obtained warrants from the lord mayor against Dodd and Robertson. Despite attempts to obtain a pardon, especially by Dr. Johnson, who composed several papers for him, Dodd was sentenced on 26 May and hanged in June. Traditionally attributed to John Raphael Smith (1751=1812).
