Etching, rare; platemark 350 x 265mm (13¾ x 10½").

Edwin Long (1829-1891) was born in Bath, had an early and precocious talent for drawing, studied at the RA Schools from 1849, and also was a student under John Phillip, who encouraged him to travel. in 1874 he visited Egypt and Syria, beginning his career as an Orientalist painter. He developed a rich, exotic style, strong in detail and often on canvases of large size, allowing him to show long processions, enormous palaces or sweeps of mountains on an epic scale. His best years were in the 1870s-80s, when he was a popular, successful artist specialising in biblical stories and life in ancient Egypt. He became ARA in 1876 and RA in 1881.

Engraving, sheet 220 x 145mm (8¾ x 5¾"). Trimmed; tipped into album sheet.
Ralph Brownrigg (1592-1659), bishop of Exeter. A noted Calvinist, Brownrigg held positions at St Catherine's College and Cambridge University before he lost them in 1645, when he was arrested for giving a sermon in which he was reported to have instructed Christians to put obedience to their sovereign before following Christian practice. The following year Brownrigg lost his episcopal office too, limiting his activities in his final years, although he achieved a posthumous reputation following the publication of his sermons, a 1661 volume of which this print was the frontspiece to. Engraving by William Faithorne (c.1620-91), printmaker who was apprenticed to the printseller William Peake, with whom he served in the royalist army during the civil war. At the Restoration Faithorne was appointed engraver in copper to the king, doubtless as reward for his devotion to the Stuart cause. The finest native British engraver born before the eighteenth century, Faithorne was highly esteemed by Pepys (who recorded many visits to his shop) while enthusiasts such as Horace Walpole ensured his posthumous reputation, which led to fine proofs of his work fetching extraordinary prices in the late Georgian period.

Elizabeth Brownrigg, Executed Septr. 14th. 1767. for ye Murder. of Mary Clifford.
[n.d., c.1770.]
Engraving, image 170 x 112mm. Margin missing above and left.
Elizabeth Brownrigg d. 1767, murderess, was the wife of James Brownrigg, a house painter, who lived at Fleur de Luce Court, Fetter Lane. For some years she practised midwifery, and about 1765 was appointed by the overseers of St. Dunstan's in the West to act as midwife to the poor women of the parish workhouse. She had three apprentices, Mary Mitchell, Mary Jones, and Mary Clifford, all of whom she treated in a most inhuman manner. On 3 Aug. Clifford was found in a dying state, hidden in Brownrigg's premises, and died shortly after. James, the husband, was committed for trial. Elizabeth and her son John fled, but were apprehended on the 16th. Elizabeth was tried at the Old Bailey, before Mr. Justice Hewitt, on 12 Sept. 1767, found guilty, and received sentence. Her husband and son were acquitted. It appears that after practising all sorts of diabolical cruelties upon Clifford, the woman Brownrigg tied her up to a hook fixed in one of the beams in the kitchen, and flogged her no less than five times on 31 July. She was hanged at Tyburn on 14 Sept. 1767. Her skeleton was exposed in a niche at Surgeons' Hall in the Old Bailey, ‘that the heinousness of her cruelty might make the more lasting impression on the minds of the spectators' (Gent. Mag.). A well-known reference to her crime is made in some verses in the ‘Anti-Jacobin. For the Gentleman's Magazine.

Elizabeth and her son John fled, but were apprehended on the 16th. Elizabeth was tried at the Old Bailey, before Mr. Justice Hewitt, on 12 Sept. 1767, found guilty, and received sentence. Her husband and son were acquitted. It appears that after practising all sorts of diabolical cruelties upon Clifford, the woman Brownrigg tied her up to a hook fixed in one of the beams in the kitchen, and flogged her no less than five times on 31 July. She was hanged at Tyburn on 14 Sept. 1767. Her skeleton was exposed in a niche at Surgeons' Hall in the Old Bailey, ‘that the heinousness of her cruelty might make the more lasting impression on the minds of the spectators' (Gent. Mag.). A well-known reference to her crime is made in some verses in the ‘Anti-Jacobin. For the Gentleman's Magazine.
