Oblong folio, 11 lithographs stitched in blue wrappers. Wear to wrappers and edges.
A record of a tour around France, with sketches of Amiens, Rouen, Montpelier & Nimes, particularly noting the Roman antiquities, hear illustrated with early lithographs. The windows of opportunity for an English artist were few during this period, probably either during the Peace of Amiens, 1802, or immediately after the fall of Napoleon in 1814. A scarce work, not in Abbey: the only reference we can find is 'Lumley's Bibliographical Advertiser' of 1845, recording for sale at Lumley's Bookshop 'XI Rough Lithographic Sketches, by K.H. Digby, of French Architectural Antiquities, 5s'. Ex: Collection of the Hon Christopher Lennox-Boyd.

Kenelm Digby (1603-1665) was a well respected English courtier and diplomat and recognised polymath. He excelled in the fields of natural philosophy, astrology and Roman Catholic theology. He experienced bouts of unpopularity throughout the Civil War, going through periods of self-imposed exile in France. However, the Restoration period saw his own reputation restored through his relationship with the Queen Mother. W 815-3

Engraving. 430 x 470mm (17 x 18½"). A few repaired tears, creasing, laid on album paper. Bit messy.
A view of Dilston Hall, at Dilston, near Corbridge, Northumberland, at one time the seat of James Radclyffe, 3rd Earl of Derwentwater, with three columns of text lamenting his death. Radclyffe, grandson of Charles II and Moll Davis, began the construction of a grand mansion to replace the old Hall, but the works was never completed as he was beheaded for his part in the 1715 Jacobite Rebellion. Dilston Hall came into the hand of the Fofeit Estates Commission. After a corrupt sale was annulled in 1731, the Greenwich Hospital Act 1735 directed that the estate's income should be used to complete the construction of Greenwich Hospital. The Greenwich Commissioners ordered its demolition in 1765 (the year before the publication of this plate), leaving standing only the castle tower and the chapel: the castle is a Scheduled Ancient Monument and a Grade I listed building.

Ch.s Shirreff Pinx.t F. Bartolozzi R.A. sculp.t
London Publish'd as the Act directs by Ch.s Shirreff May 1796
Stipple, sheet 250 x 185mm (9¾ x 7¾"). Trimmed inside platemark.
Scene from Shakespeare's 'Romeo & Juliet' engraved by Francesco Bartolozzi (1725-1815) after Charles Shirreff (b.1750), British artist in India (Madras and Calcutta) 1796-1809. Bartolozzi (1725-1815) was born in Florence but migrated to England, and in 1768 was elected as a founding member of the Royal Academy in London (the RA did not admit engravers at this time but made an exception in his case). He was already hailed as the best engraver in Italy when he met George III's librarian Richard Dalton in 1763. Dalton invited Bartolozzi to London with a promise of an appointment as engraver to the king. In England he became the most celebrated exponent of the 'stipple' technique whereby he produced prints using dots rather than lines. In 1801 Bartolozzi was invited to Lisbon to reform the royal printing press, and he spent his final years in Portugal. This impression from the collection of Dr. Augusto Calabi of Milan, art historian who co-authored (with A.B. de Vesme) the authoritative catalogue raisonné of Bartolozzi's work. Inscription verso indicates this is the only impression of the print in this state seen by Calabi. This state is not in fact listed in the catalogue, which lists only different identifications of the actors playing the two roles on impressions in different collections.

Wher thy well-guided soule shall once meet his/ Whoe heer directs thee to eternall bliss.'
