[London, Publish'd April 8th 1784 by W. Dickinson]
Stipple printed in red, sheet 190 x 145mm (7½ x 5¾"). Trimmed inside platemark, losing publication line;
The tragic Ophelia's last appearance in Shakespeare's 'Hamlet' before her death from drowning. Stipple engraving after the miniature painter James Nixon (bap.1741-1812). This may be engraved from Nixon's miniature of Mary Bowles (née Elton) as Ophelia, in the collection of the Elton family seat, Clevedon Court, Somerset. Stipple engraving by Francesco Bartolozzi (1725-1815), Florentine engraver who migrated to England, and in 1768 was elected as a founding member of the Royal Academy in London (the RA did not admit engravers at this time but made an exception in his case). He was already hailed as the best engraver in Italy when he met George III's librarian Richard Dalton in 1763. Dalton invited Bartolozzi to London with a promise of an appointment as engraver to the king. In England he became the most celebrated exponent of the 'stipple' technique whereby he produced prints using dots rather than lines. In 1801 Bartolozzi was invited to Lisbon to reform the royal printing press, and he spent his final years in Portugal. This impression from the collection of Dr. Augusto Calabi of Milan, art historian who co-authored (with A.B. de Vesme) the authoritative catalogue raisonné of Bartolozzi's work.

A highly reserved man, Howard shunned public recognition throughout his life.

Thalestris, Queen of the Amazons. From a curious and valuable Antique.
J. Chapman Sculpsit.
London published as the Act directs Mar:10, 1797 by J. Wilkes.
Stipple with etching printed in colour, 160 x 110mm. 6¼ x 4¼". Foxed.
The Amazons are a nation of all-female warriors in Classical and Greek mythology. Herodotus placed them in a region bordering Scythia in Sarmatia. Other historiographers place them in Asia Minor or Libya. According to the mythological Greek Alexander Romance, Queen Thalestris of the Amazons brought 300 women to Alexander the Great, hoping to breed a race of children as strong and intelligent as he. According to the legend, she stayed with the Macedonian king for 13 days and nights in the hope that the great warrior would father a daughter by her. However, several of Alexander's biographers dispute the claim, including the highly regarded secondary source, Plutarch.

Tinted lithograph. Printed area 330 x 220mm, 13 x 8¾". Faint spotting in margins.
An illustration from the beginning of Harriet Beecher Stowe's important anti-slavery novel, 'Uncle Tom's Cabin'. Hearing her owners' negotiating the sale of her son Harry to raise money to save their farm, the black slave Eliza resolves to run away, eventually crossing the frozen Ohio River and escaping to Liberia. 'Uncle Tom's Cabin' first appeared as a serial in 1851, then as a book in 1852, both being an instant success. This English illustrated edition also appeared in 1852, with illustrations by Louisa Corbaux. Here Eliza hugs her small son, who is dressed in the girlish style fashionable in England at the time. With their pink cheeks neither look like black slaves, which was perhaps a decision taken to heighten empathy among the book's white readership.
