Engraving, fine, platemark 360 x 300mm (14 x 11¾") very large margins.
Richard Porson (1759-1808), classical scholar. Of all Porson's achievements, perhaps his most lasting legacy is his handwriting- Porson type, the most commonly printed font for classical Greek text in the English-speaking world, was copied directly from Porson's own manuscript. Engraving after the well-known portrait by John Hoppner, painted in 1796 and now in the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge.
