C. B. Wadström. Geb. zu Stockholm i. J. 1746. Gestorbl. zu Paris.
C.A. Schwerdgeburth sc.
[Weimar: n.d., c.1808.]
Stipple with large margins. Plate 140 x 90mm (5½ x 3½").
Carl Bernhard Wadström (1746-1799), Swedish traveller and slavery abolitionist active in England. In 1787 King Gustaf III of Sweden sent an expedition under Wadström to Guinea to find a suitable location for a colony. In 1789 he publish 'Observations on the Slave Trade, and a Description of some part of the Coast of Guinea', with the purpose of “exposing to the world the atrocious acts committed in that part of the globe to which I have been eye-witness'. However he was vocal in his support of repatriation of poor blacks to Sierra Leone: in his 'An Essay on Colonization' (1794) he wrote 'it was necessary they should be sent somewhere, and be no longer suffered to invest the streets of London', showing a less charitable side. After the failure of a cotton factory in Manchester Wadström relocated to France, becoming a citizen and a leading member of the French abolition society, receiving a state funeral in 1799. The portrait was published in 'Allgemeine Geographische Ephemeriden' (Universal Geographical Ephemerides (i.e. encyclopedia)) by Friedrich Bertuch et al.

Engraving, sheet 350 x 270mm (13¾ x 10½"). Trimmed to platemark; glued to album sheet at corners.
Scene in trompe l'oeil border showing a woman sat with a shuttlecock and rackets; verses below drawing analogy between the game and the torments of love. Engraved after François Eisen (c.1695-1778), painter who specialised in such genre pictures in a light-hearted Flemish manner. Eisen's son Charles was also a notable artist, hence the need to identify Eisen as 'le Pere' [the father] on this print. Part of a series of prints in this format after paintings by Eisen, with texts focusing on love, beauty and deception.

Engraved after François Eisen (c.1695-1778), painter who specialised in such genre pictures in a light-hearted Flemish manner. Eisen's son Charles was also a notable artist, hence the need to identify Eisen as 'le Pere' [the father] on this print. Part of a series of prints in this format after paintings by Eisen, with texts focusing on love, beauty and deception.

Daniel Wakefield Esq.r of Lincolns Inn, Barrister at Law.
Engraved by F.C. Lewis from a Drawing by A. Wivell.
London, October 1st 1824 Published by Geo. Lawford, Saville Passage.
Stipple on india with small margins, platemark 230 x 180mm (9 x 7").
Daniel Wakefield (1776-1846), barrister and writer on political economy. Wakefield's early career was undistinguished; as David J. Moss (DNB) writes: 'Various distractions, riotous living, and, according to his mother, unsuitable company prevented much headway. An ill-advised marriage on 3 June 1805 to Isabella Mackie, an adventuress and swindler, followed. It dragged him into a morass of debt and fraud that almost ended in bankruptcy and emigration. Remarkably, his legal career was not destroyed and he was called to the bar on 2 May 1807. A sullied reputation and an inadequate knowledge of the law, however, meant that clients were not plentiful and his financial dependence upon his parents and brother continued. Attempts to annul the marriage failed; then, in August 1813, Isabella committed suicide by taking poison.' Thereafter, however, Wakefield remarried, and his practice flourished. He was elected bencher of Lincolns Inn in 1835 and became known for his philanthropy in aiding clients in distress. After his death in 1846 he was buried in Lincoln's Inn chapel.

Mrs. Priscilla Wakefield.
[n.d., c.1750.]
Stipple. Platemark: 120 x 82mm (4¾ x 3¼").
A silhouette portrait of Priscilla Wakefield, (1751-1832) an English Quaker, educational and feminist economics writer, and philanthropist. Priscilla Bell was born into a family in Tottenham, then a village north of London. She married Edward Wakefield (1750–1826), a London merchant, and had three children. Writing to support her family financially, she wrote seventeen books in two decades. She was one of many female English writers at the end of the eighteenth century who began to demand a wider life for women. Charities which she founded included a maternity hospital, a Female Benefit Club, and a Penny Bank for children, which developed into England's first savings bank. She was a member of the Society of Friends, and conformed to their religious practice, but did not observe their restrictions.

Bird's-eye view of London from near Whitehall, looking towards the City of London, showing St Pauls Cathedral on the left and Tower Bridge in the distance on the right. Etching by William Walcot R.E (1874 - 1943), Scottish architect, who was described by Furst as 'next to Brangwyn the greatest decorative etcher this country has produced'. Walcot was in fact born in Russia and studied in St Petersburg and Paris, subsequently practicing architecture in Moscow before moving to London early in the 20th century. Walcot's training is evident in his prints, which are concerned with architecture and decoration rather than human life.

Published Nov.r 5th 1794 at No. 8 Charles Street near Middlesex Hospital, London.
Proof before title. Platemark: 310 x 230mm. (12¼ x 9"). Small tears along right and bottom edges.
Portrait of Thomas Walker (1749 - 1817), almost half-length directed to left, glancing towards the viewer, wearing a plain coat buttoned up with a white waistcoat and cravat, with curly hair brushed forwards over the ear. Walker was a cotton merchant as well as a political reformer, and also a leader of an anti-slavery group. He was also a member of the Manchester Literary and Philosophical Society founded in 1781 to promote improvements in local health and sanitary issues. Walker helped found the Manchester Constitutional Society which advocated parliamentary reform and equality for dissenters. This was not seen favourably by the supporters of 'church and king' and he was accused of conspiring to overthrow the king, constitution and government. A trial was held at the Lancaster Assizes in June 1794 but Walker was acquitted because the key witness, Thomas Dunn, was shown to have lied under oath. After George Romney (Male; 1734 - 1802); scratched-letter state before title and border.
