A Family Piece.
H.Bunbury Esq.r Delin. W.Dickinson Excud.t.
London, Publish'd October 15th 1781, by W.Dickinson No 158 New Bond Street.
Stipple, printed in sepia. 305 x 390mm (12 x 15¼"). Trimmed to printed border on three sides, mounted on album paper.
A portrait-painter painting a family group of a man and wife and their little boy who, despite wearing ordinary clothes, is holding a cupid's bow and a sheaf of arrows, probably a reference to the family portrait in Goldsmith's 'Vicar of Wakefield'. The adults hold doves; the boy yawns with boredom. A clipping from a printseller's catalogue, pasted underneath the print, suggests the bespectacled artist is a caricature of Sir Joshua Reynolds. Certainly the round glasses are similar to the ones worn in the Reynolds self-portrait in the Plymouth City Museum and Art Gallery.

Two pretty young women stand playing lutes. Behind a friar restrains a young man who is desperate to approach them.

Mr. Bunbury del. J.Bretherton f.
Publish'd 1st Jan. 1774.
Etching, platemark 210 x 140mm (8¼ x 5½"). Crease top right; glued to backing sheet.
Maid working at a French hostelry. Etched after Henry Bunbury, an amateur printmaker who subsequently enjoyed a successful career as a designer for printsellers. 'Prints by Bunbury an his imitators were conspicuously 'polite' and appealed, like novels, 'To the Fashionable World and Polite circles'. Of good family, amply endowed with social skills, a beautiful wife and connections in high society, Bunbury's appeal was not solely aesthetic' and his admirers 'recognized his comic talent, his informed enthusiasm for literature, and his ability to draw a momentary pang with something of the sensitivity with which Sterne could write it' (Clayton).

Paris, a peasant holding a crook, with the three hag-like goddesses. He hands his apple to Venus, who has Cupid hiding behind her skirts; Minerva rushes toward them brandishing a bottle; and Juno walks away, wearing a grenadier's uniform, scowling. Paris's dog chases a peacock and owl. Etched by Henry Bunbury whilst still a schoolboy. Bunbury was an amateur printmaker who subsequently enjoyed a successful career as a designer for printsellers. 'Prints by Bunbury an his imitators were conspicuously 'polite' and appealed, like novels, 'To the Fashionable World and Polite circles'. Of good family, amply endowed with social skills, a beautiful wife and connections in high society, Bunbury's appeal was not solely aesthetic' and his admirers 'recognized his comic talent, his informed enthusiasm for literature, and his ability to draw a momentary pang with something of the sensitivity with which Sterne could write it' (Clayton).

Illustration in a roundel of the folk ballad 'Lord Thomas and Fair Annett': Lord Thomas leaning forward in a chair to left, one hand on his sword, handing a rose with the other to Annette, who sits opposite, petting a dog at her side. The nut-brown maid, new married to Lord Thomas, runs forward with a dagger to stab her rival in jealousy. Lord Thomas is in love with Fair Annet, or Annie, or Elinor, but she has little property. He asks for advice. His father, mother, and brother (or some of them) advise that he should marry the nut-brown maid with a rich dowry. His mother promises to curse him if he marries Annet and bless him if he marries the nut-brown maid, and Lord Thomas takes his mother's advice. Fair Annet dresses as splendidly as she can and goes to the wedding. The nut-brown maid is so jealous that she stabs Annet to death. Lord Thomas stabs both the nut-brown maid and himself to death. A rose grew from Fair Annet's grave, a brier from Lord Thomas's, and they grew together. After Henry William Bunbury (1750 - 1811).
From the Norman Blackburn Collection.
