New Mackrel. New Mackrel. Maquereux, Maquereux frais et Gros. Cries of London Plate 5th.
Painted by F. Wheatly R.A. Engraved by N. Schiavonetti Jun.r.
London Pub.d as the Act Directs, Jan.1. 1795 by Colnaghi & Co. No.132 Pall Mall.
Stipple, printed in sepia. Sheet 410 x 320mm (16 x 12½"). Trimmed to plate.
A fishwife, selling fish to two women at their doorstep. This is one of thirteen plates in Wheatley’s ‘Cries of London’, the most famous version of a popular theme in English printmaking. The shouts and songs of the street traders advertising their wares were a part of city life and inspired a number of artists of different styles, from these idealised scenes to the more raucous caricatures drawn by Rowlandson. Francis Wheatley (1747-1801) exhibited fourteen painted ‘Cries’ at the Royal Academy between 1792-5, with enough success for Colnaghi to commission some of the best engravers in England, including brothers Luigi and Niccolo Schiavonetti, Giovanni Vendramini & Thomas Gaugain to reproduce thirteen of the series in stipple. These were available as separate prints or as a set and were a great success (even abroad, as denoted by the French version of the titles), and have remained popular to this day.

Hawkesworth
Painted by Sir Jos. Reynolds / Engraved by N. Schiavonetti
Published 10th Nov. 1806 by John Sharpe, Piccadilly.
Stipple, sheet 160 x 90mm (6¼ x 3½"). Trimmed inside platemark
John Hawkesworth (c.1720 - 1773), writer. He is said to have been clerk to an attorney, and was certainly self-educated. In 1744, he succeeded Samuel Johnson as compiler of the parliamentary debates for the Gentleman's Magazine. In company with Johnson and others, he started a periodical called 'The Adventurer', which ran to 140 issues, of which 70 were from the pen of Hawkesworth himself. Hawkesworth was a close imitator of Johnson both in style and thought, and was at one time on very friendly terms with him. It is said that he presumed on his success, and lost Johnson's friendship as early as 1756. Hawkesworth is most remembered today for his compiling of the three-volume 'An account of the voyages undertaken by the order of His present Majesty for making discoveries in the Southern Hemisphere...', which contained the official account of James Cook's first circumnavigation, on which Cook mapped New Zealand and the east coast of Australia accurately for the first the time. Plate from John Sharpe's 'Classics' (1806).

A Ghost. L'Apparition.
Painted by R. Westall. Engrav'd by Schiavonetti.
London, Pub.d March 1. 1791, by T Simpson St. Paul's Church Yard.
Stipple, printed in colours. Framed, sight size 230 x 255mm (9 x 10". Unexamined out of frame.
Two girls huddle, one points, in fear of a "ghost", which is in fact a young boy playing around with a sheet over his head. As the pair, 'The Mask' after Joshua Reynolds, depicted two of the daughters of George Spencer, 4th Duke of Marlborough (who owned the painting), it is likely these are also his children.

[Aleksandr Vasilyevich Suvorov] Field Marshal Count Alexander Suwarrow Rimniskoy Commander in Chief of the Combined Armies in Italy.
C. Hampe del. N. Schiavonetti Sculp.
London Publish'd June 21st 1799, by
Stipple. 110 x 160mm (4¼ x 6¼"), with large margins.
Half portrait set in a roundel of Alexander Vasilievich Suvoroff (c.1729-1800), the fourth (and last) Generalissimo of Russia, famed for never losing a battle, fighting 63. The portrait celebrates his successes in Italy (1799-1800), when his combined Austro-Russian army drove the French out of most of Italy. Promised a triumph, his emnity with the Tsar Paul meant it was never held. When Suvoroff died soon after his return Paul ensured his Generalissimo's funeral honours were downgraded to that of a field marshal. Undoubtedly this pettiness towards a national hero was one of the reasons Paul was assassinated by disaffected army officers less than a year later.
