[Sir Humphry Davy] - H. Davy, Signature Facsimile
[John Jackson Pinxt.William Walker sculp.]
[Private Plate] Excudit 1st.June 1830.by Willm. Walker No.22 London Street, Edinburgh.
Stipple engraving. 418 x 356mm.
Sir Humphry Davy, 1st Baronet, FRS. Natural philosopher.(17 December 1778 - 29 May 1829), often incorrectly spelled Humphrey, was an esteemed Cornish chemist and physicist. He was born in Penzance, Cornwall, United Kingdom. Sir Humphry revelled in his status, as his lectures gathered many spectators. Davy became well known due to his experiments with the physiological action of some gases, including laughing gas (nitrous oxide) - to which he was addicted, once stating that its properties bestowed all of the benefits of alcohol but was devoid of its flaws. Davy later damaged his eyesight in a laboratory accident with nitrogen trichloride. In 1801 he was nominated professor at the Royal Institution of Great Britain and Fellow of the Royal Society, over which he would later preside.

[Sir Balthazar Gerbier and his Family From the Original Picture, painted by Sir Ant: van Dyck, in the Collection of her Royal Highness the Princess Dowager of Wales...]
A. van Dyck pinx.t. W.m Walker Sculpsit.
J. Boydell exc.t. 1766 [Published according to Act of Parliament, Feb 1st 1766 by J. Boydell Engraver, in Cheapside, London.]
Engraving, scratch letter proof before title. 475 x 605mm (18¾ x 23¾"), with large margins.
Sir Balthasar Gerbier (1592-1663/67), art agent, miniature painter, and architect, with his wife Debora Kip and their eight children (it is suggested that the girl in the centre is either a servant or a dwarf). While Gerbier's creative efforts have been disparaged (Pepys said one of his books was 'not worth a turd'), in recent years attention has turned towards Gerbier's work as keeper of the picture collection of George Villiers, marquess of Buckingham. Frederick, Prince of Wales, bought the original oil as a Van Dyck in 1749; however the Royal Collection now ascribes it to Sir Peter Paul Rubens and his studio (probably Jacob Jordaens). Gerbier and Rubens first met in the 1720s while conducting diplomatic business (it is claimed they were using Buckingham's collecting as a cover for conducting treaties between Britain and Spain). As Gerbier's family grew the painting was extended: in c.1629-30 it only featured Debora, three children and a baby; c. 1631-4 more canvas was stitched on, on which Gerbier and the two central figures were added; finally c. 1638-41 the three children on the right were apended. The timespan of the additions make most of the children look the same age. The original painting was sketched by Edward Edwards to prepare this engraving, which was published in 'The Most Capital Paintings in England', a five-volume set that was a critical and financial success for the publisher John Boydell.

Sir Walter Scott Bart.
Engraved by Willm. Walker from a Picture by Sir Henry Raeburn R.A.
Printed by McQueen. Published 1st. Octr. 1826 by W. Walker, 3 Gt. Queen Street, Edinburgh & 18, Norton Street, Portland Road, London [& Shroth, Paris].
Stipple and etching on india paper, proof, 395 x 305mm. (15½ x 12") with large margins. A fine impression, some foxing.
Sir Walter Scott, 1st Baronet (1771 - 1832) was a prolific Scottish historical novelist and poet popular throughout Europe during his time. In some ways Scott was the first author to have a truly international career in his lifetime, with many contemporary readers all over Great Britain, Ireland, Europe, Australia, and North America. His novels and (to a lesser extent) his poetry are still read, but he is far less popular nowadays than he was at the height of his fame. Nevertheless many of his works remain classics of English literature. Famous titles include Ivanhoe, Rob Roy, The Lady of the Lake, Waverley and The Heart of Midlothian. Royal arms to margin. After Sir Henry Raeburn (1756 - 1823).
