The Hon. Sir Rich.d Perrott Bar.t. "Be thou as chaste as Ice, as pure as Snow, thou shalt not escape Calumny." Hamlet.
Val. Green, ad vivum delin.t et fecit, et excudit.
Printed for V. Green, Salisbury Street, Strand, London. ~ Published July 23.d 1770.
Scarce mezzotint. 330 x 227mm (13 x 9").
A portrait of Sir Richard Perrott (c.1716-96), '2nd Baronet, soldier and diplomat'. According to his own account of his life, reproduced in Burke's Peerage, he attended the Duke of Cumberland at Culloden in 1745 before entering the service of Frederick the Great of Prussia, for whom he fought in the Seven Years' War, becoming Fredrick's Lord High Admiral. He also came to the attention of Louis XV, who made him a baron. Back in England in 1767 he received a warrant confirming his baronetcy and in 1770, after bringing to George III a 'Loyal Flint Address' during the Wilkes Riots of 1770, received a letter of thanks and a medal, which he is wearing in this portrait. Vengeful rioters then ransacked his house in Park Lane, after which he departed for a trip to Italy. However, according to a lengthy article in the ''The Herald and Genealogist'' of 1874, Perrot was a fraudster, the son of 'a decayed distiller of Mardol, in Shrewsbury'. Impersonating foreign dignitaries he married and dumped a series of heiresses, using their money to finance other frauds. His house in Park Lane did not fall victim to rioters but baliffs representing the tradesmen who furnished it, after which he decided it was better to disappear.

[Titlepage and woodcut illustration from Hieronymus Rodler, 'Eyn schön nützlich büchlin und underweisung der kunst des Messens [...]']
[Simmern: Hieronymus Rodler, 1531]
Two woodcuts, one with letterpress in black and red ink; very scarce; sheets 290 x 185mm (11½ x 7¼") and 175 x 170mm (7 x 6¾"). Both glued to backing sheet.
Two woodcut illustrations of artists at work, one showing five men at work in a studio, the other showing an artist depicting the view from his window. From Hieronymus Rodler's 'Eyn schön nützlich büchlin und underweisung der kunst des Messens mit dem Zirckel Richtscheidt oder Linial. Zu nutz allen kunstliebhabern furnemlich den Malern, Bildhawern, Goldschmiden, Seidenstickern, Steynmetzen, Schreinern, auch allen andern, so sich der kunst des Messens (Perspectiva zu latin gnant) zugebrauchen lust haben...' (1531). Rodler adapted ideas from Albrecht Dürer's 1525 'Unterweysung der Messung', simplifying them to make them accessible to a wider range of craftsmen.

Perth, seen from Barnhill.
Drawn on Stone by D.O. Hill. Printed by C. Hullmandel.
Pub. by T. Hill. George Stt. Perth. [n.d., c.1821.]
Lithograph. Sheet 305 x 480mm (12 x 19"). Tatty extremities.
A prospect of Perth and the River Tay, Scotland; Perth Bridge (also known as Smeaton's Bridge and, locally, the Old Bridge) features to right. From 'Sketches in Perthshire' by David Octavius Hill, 30 lithographs published in Perth in six parts. David Octavius Hill (1802-1870) was a Scottish painter and arts activist. He collaborated with the engineer and photographer Robert Adamson to pioneer many aspects of photography in Scotland. He studied and learnt lithography at the School of Design and went on to produce his album of views "Sketches of Scenery in Perthshire". He was dissatisfied with the 'Institution' and established a separate Scottish Academy in 1829, along with Henry Cockburn. Over time, Hill took a turn towards photography and his collaboration with Adamson grew whereby Adamson's studio, "Rock House", on Calton Hill in Edinburgh became the centre of their photographic experiments. They photographed local scenes and persons and were prominent in developing "action" photographs. Both Adamson and Hill died due to ill health at early ages.
