Mezzotint. 255 x 305mm (10 x 12"). Thread margins; glued to backing sheet at corners. Good impression of a rare print.
Banditti scene after John Hamilton Mortimer (1740-79), published soon after the artist's death. Influenced by the works of Salvator Rosa (immensely popular during the period), Mortimer incorporated Rosa's disturbing banditti and occult subject matter in the 1770s. This print is usually regarded as a generic banditti scene: a preparatory drawing in the collection of Richard Payne Knight (now in the British Museum) was etched by Robert Blyth and published in November 1780 with the title 'Banditti Returning'. However, a related painting by Mortimer (Newcastle, Hatton Gallery) is titled 'The Sacrifice of Polyxena'. In Euripides' plays, Polyxena was sacrificed at the end of the Trojan War to appease the gods.

[Three banditti on horseback menacing a crouching figure.]
[Anon., c.1810.]
Pen lithograph, scarce; sheet 270 x 340mm (10½ x 13½"). Staining and mould to edges.
Dramatic early pen lithograph. The new medium allowed artists to draw directly onto a prepared stone, allowing them to make prints which arguably resembled drawings more than any earlier printmaking technique. Unlike many printmaking techniques, lithography required no special training as artists could work directly onto the plate and leave specialist printers to actually make the prints. For this reason many artists who were not trained printmakers (such as Géricault and Delacroix) often worked in lithography.

The lyrics to three popular ballads. 'The Banks of the Dee' was written by John Tait in 1775, when a friend left Scotland to join the British forces in America in the runup to the American War of Independence. When Robert Burns complained that nightingales sing from a bush, never a tree, Tait changed the lyrics from 'nightingale sung' to 'pigeon coo'd'. 'I'm Going ober de Mountain' was written by Daniel Decatur Emmett (1815-1904), founder of the first troupe of the blackface minstrel tradition, the Virginia Minstrels.
