Henry Purcell (1659-1695) was an English organist and Baroque composer of secular and sacred music. Little is acutally known about Purcell, even the pronunciation of his name is disputed by musicians and historians alike. As a chorister at the Chapel Royal, he sung at the coronation of King Charles II; until his voice broke when he became assistant to the organ-builider John Hingson, who was keeper of wind instruments to the King. From Westminster School and his assistantship at the abbey he went on in 1679 to take Blow's position as organist, which Blow resigned in favour of his pupil, Purcell.

A Paris chez Basan
Engraving, platemark 150 x 95mm (6 x 3¾") large margins.
Probably one of a set of six illustrations to Rousseau's dramatization of the Pygmalion story after designs by Charles Eisen (1720-78), painter, draughtsman and illustrator. It was through his drawings, engraved to illustrate nearly 400 books, that Eisen's reputation was chiefly established. These also included editions of Lucretius, Ovid, Tacitus, Virgil, Boccaccio, Ariosto, and Erasmus. Although unsigned, this engraving is probably by Emmanuel de Ghendt.
