Painted by Benj.n West, Esq.r P.R.A. Drawn by Henry Corbould. Engraved by Edward Scriven, Hist.l Engraver to The Prince Regent & the Princess of Wales. London: Published by T. Clay, N.o 18 Ludgate Hill, June 4; 1814.

Rare stipple and etching. 375 x 475mm (14¾ x 18¾"). Trimmed to plate top, left and right edges. Some toning.
Barabbas and two other thieves are restrained and in cuffs, and appear to be surrounded by a number of soldiers in the background. According to the Synoptic Gospels, Barabbas, imprisoned for murder and insurrection against the Roman state according to Mark and Luke, was released by Pontius Pilate according to a Passover tradition whereby a prisoner could have their death sentence communted by popular demand. The story goes that the crowd of Jewish people ask for Barabbas's release, thereby condemning Jesus to death, though the plausibility of Barabbas's release is contested by some historians.

London Pub.d April 1.st 1801.
Rare mezzotint. 430 x 550mm (17 x 21¾"), large margins. Collector's blind stamp of a bee, in lower margin. Repaired tears, central fold, month engraved in a ferrent style to the rest of the inscription.
An army of bears storm a hill defended by frogs with cannon, bayoneting and shooting some as others hop into a pond to escape. A rough translation of the Latin title is 'The host of frogs perish and their limbs, used to jumping, twitch on'. The BM has two examples, one matching this state, and another with a different title ('Im Belles Ferro Ceciderunt Igne Robusti') and joke signatures, from the Lennox-Boyd collection, as this example. The collector's stamp, a blind-stamped Napoleonic Bee, is that of William J. Latta of Philadelphia, a collector of Napolionic prints, who began his collection c.1880, sold it Anderson Galleries, New York, in four sales 1913-4. Lugt (L.2825) says of the collection that it ''was reputed to be the most beautiful of its kind in the world. The portraits were remarkable for the beauty of the prints and the rarity of the states; the series of caricatures was particularly comprehensive''.

Stipple and etching, proof before letters. 505 x 635mm (19¾ x 25"). Trimmed to plate top and bottom, soiling of edges. Slight staining in margins.
On a forest path Imogen bares her breast and offers Pisanio a sword, begging him to kill her. After John Hoppner (1758-1810). John Boydell (1720-1804), publisher and Lord Mayor of London in 1790, began his Shakespeare Gallery to encourage British historical painting by commissioning paintings on the theme of Shakeapeare's plays from leading artists and reproducing them as high quality prints. When his gallery in Pall Mall opened in 1789 it contained 34 paintings; by the end it has nearly 170, by artists including Angelica Kauffman, Richard Westall, Thomas Stothard, George Romney, Henry Fuseli, Benjamin West, Robert Smirke, John Opie & Francesco Bartolozzi. 96 were engraved, published separately until the bound edition, ''A Collection of Prints, From Pictures Painted for the Purpose of Illustrating the Dramatic Works of Shakspeare, by the Artists of Great-Britain'' was issued in 1805. The project was over-ambitious, and the cost caused the firm to go bankrupt.

Eneas going into the Cave, from an Original Drawing of Solimene.
Fran: Solimene inv. e del. Gius Zocchi inv:
1764.
Etching. 255 x 240mm (10 x 9½") with large margins. Uncut.
A scene depicting Aeneas and Dido holding hands as they are about to enter the cave to shelter from the storm conjured by Juno. Perhaps one of the most controversial plot points of the Aeneid, Dido interprets their time spent in the cave as consecration of their marriage, which Aeneas only later attempts to deny as he realises he must leave Carthage and continue his search for a new settlement. Dido, humiliated and believeing her reputation to be irretrievable, kills herself with Aeneas' sword and curses enduring enmity between their peoples, an overt invocation of the Punic Wars.

A Perspective View of Dilston Hall, once the Seat of the Unfortunate James, Earl of Derwent-Water.
T. Oliver delin. Spilsbury sculp Russell-Court London.
Drawn on the Spot by Tho.s Oliver of Hexham in Northumberland & Published according to Act of Parliament July 17, 1766.
Engraving. 430 x 470mm (17 x 18½"). A few repaired tears, creasing, laid on album paper. Bit messy.
A view of Dilston Hall, at Dilston, near Corbridge, Northumberland, at one time the seat of James Radclyffe, 3rd Earl of Derwentwater, with three columns of text lamenting his death. Radclyffe, grandson of Charles II and Moll Davis, began the construction of a grand mansion to replace the old Hall, but the works was never completed as he was beheaded for his part in the 1715 Jacobite Rebellion. Dilston Hall came into the hand of the Fofeit Estates Commission. After a corrupt sale was annulled in 1731, the Greenwich Hospital Act 1735 directed that the estate's income should be used to complete the construction of Greenwich Hospital. The Greenwich Commissioners ordered its demolition in 1765 (the year before the publication of this plate), leaving standing only the castle tower and the chapel: the castle is a Scheduled Ancient Monument and a Grade I listed building.
