Angelica Kauffman Pinx. W.m Wynne Ryland Delin.t et Sculp.t.
Published January 3 1780 by W.W. Ryland London.
Pair of stipples, proofs before titles, printed in sanguine. Sheets 310 x 390mm (12¼ x 15½) & 325 x 390mm (12¾ x 15½"). Trimmed within plate, slight rubbing in inscription area of 'Grey'.
Two plates illustrating events described in Rapin's History of England. The first shows the aftermath of an assassination attempt on Edward Longshanks, heir to the English throne, in June 1272, during the 8th-9th Crusade. Although he killed his attacker he was weakened by the poisoned blade and could no longer campaign. On his journey home he discovered that his father had died in November: he did not reach England until early August 1274 and was crowned on the 19th. After the death of Eleanor in 1290 Edward marked the route of her funerary procession with the twelve 'Eleanor Crosses', including Charing Cross. The second scene shows Elizabeth Grey asking for the return of the lands of her dead husband, Sir John Grey, who had been killed at the Second Battle of St Albans in 1461, fighting for the Lancastrian cause. Three years later she secretly married the Yorkist Edward IV; her son, Edward V, was deposed by Richard III.

Fine stipple engraving, J. Whatman 1794 watermarked paper; platemark 380 x 295mm (15 x 11½"), with large margins.
Scene from Homer's 'Odyssey'. Penelope, the wife of Odysseus, sits at her loom awaiting the return of her husband. Engraved after 'Penelope at her Loom', 1764 (Brighton Museum and Art Gallery, Sussex), an early painting produced in Rome by the history painter Angelica Kauffman (1741-1807). Born in Switzerland, Kauffman lived in England from 1766 to 1781 and was one of only two women (the other being Mary Moser) amongst the thirty-six founding members of the Royal Academy of Arts. This print differs from the source painting by extending the composition on the right to accommodate a large bust of Odysseus not in the original painting.

In Homer's Odyssey, under the influence of Athena, Telemachus leaves Ithaca in search of knowledge of his father who left for Troy twenty years ago. He first visits Nestor who regales him with tales of Odysseus' glory. Telemachus then departs with Nestor's son Peisistratus who accompanies him to see Menelaus and Helen. While there Menelaus and Helen tell complementary yet contradictory stories of his father's exploits at Troy. This print depicts this happening as he stands in the colonaded interrior and he burries his face in his robes in grief seemingly giving up, to the suprise of Menelaus enthroned at right and Helen standing at left, who extends her hand towards him.
