On a forest path Imogen bares her breast and offers Pisanio a sword, begging him to kill her. After John Hoppner (1758-1810). John Boydell (1720-1804), publisher and Lord Mayor of London in 1790, began his Shakespeare Gallery to encourage British historical painting by commissioning paintings on the theme of Shakeapeare's plays from leading artists and reproducing them as high quality prints. When his gallery in Pall Mall opened in 1789 it contained 34 paintings; by the end it has nearly 170, by artists including Angelica Kauffman, Richard Westall, Thomas Stothard, George Romney, Henry Fuseli, Benjamin West, Robert Smirke, John Opie & Francesco Bartolozzi. 96 were engraved, published separately until the bound edition, ''A Collection of Prints, From Pictures Painted for the Purpose of Illustrating the Dramatic Works of Shakspeare, by the Artists of Great-Britain'' was issued in 1805. The project was over-ambitious, and the cost caused the firm to go bankrupt.

[1660]
Engraving with accompanying letterpress sheet, 17th century watermark; each 470 x 350mm (18½ x 13¾"), with very large margins. Slight tear top right.
Georges d'Amboise (1460-1510), French Roman Catholic cardinal and minister of state. Georges became cardinal and prime minister in 1498, in which position his focus was upon increasing French power in Italy. He was frustrated in his attempts to become Pope in 1503 when two Italians were chosen in quick succession for the post. From 'Les Portraits des Hommes Illustres Francois qui sont Peints dans la Galerie du Palais Cardinal de Richelieu' (1660). The book reproduces the portraits of great men hanging in Richelieu's 'Galerie des hommes illustres' by Simon Vouet and Philippe de Champaigne (although only four of the original paintings survive). The final 'illustrious figure' was Richelieu himself.

The Chevalier D'_n producing his evidence against certain persons.
[Oxford Magazine, 12th Auguest, 1769.]
Etching. 115 x 175mm (4½ x 7").
An ape-faced Chevalier d'Eon kneels on a platform, vomiting over Bute and other members of the Grafton admininstration. Joining the attack are Horne Tooke, Beckford and an American Indian, who draws his bow and aims at Hillsborough, Secretary of State for the North American Colonies. Behind the Chevalier is Dr Musgrave, who holds a clyster pipe and says 'If the Etetic does not operate sufficiently Chevalier, I have this Ready'. Having acted as minister-plenipotentiary for France in London, the Chevalier d'Eon refused to be recalled, publishing libels against the French embassy members. When Musgrave accused the Grafton administration and the Princess of Wales of taking bribes to sway the settlement of the Treaty of Paris in the favour of the French, he attempted to get the Chevalier to back up his claims, which D'Eon refused to do.

During the French Revolution, d'Estaing's sypathy for the French royal family led to his execution. He served in India and was captured. He was successful in Muscat and Sumatra. Before he was guillatined he wrote: "After my head falls off send it to the British, they will pay a good deal for it!"

Oval portrait of Jean Baptiste Charles Henri Hector, comte d'Estaing (1729-94), within a decorative border featuring putti wearing Amerind feather headresses and pointing at a map of the Americas. A French general and admiral who had already fought against the British in India during the Seven Years' War, D'Estaing commanded the French fleet sent to aid the rebels in the American War of Independence. He blockaded New York in 1778, captured St Vincent and Grenada in the West Indies and participated in the Siege of Savannah in 1779. Wounded, he returned to France in 1780, after which he fell out of favour, not regaining a command until just before the war ended. In 1789 he supported the French Revolution but was guillotined during the Terror for being a reactionary. Before his execution, he wrote: 'After my head falls off, send it to the British, they will pay a good deal for it!'.
