[London, c.1722 or later.]
Engraving. 375 x 280mm (14¾ x 11"). Small margins.
Sir Hugh Myddelton (1560-1631), goldsmith and entrepreneur, after Cornelius Jonson or Janssen. Early in the seventeenth century Myddelton became involved in the successful project to bring a supply of water to London, which was still the most important source of piped water into the metropolis two hundred years later. In 1605 an act of parliament was obtained to bring water from springs near Hertford to north London (a distance of nearly forty miles), as surveyed by the mathmatician Edward Wright (1561-1615, famed for his correction of Mercator's Projection). Myddelton's involvement is not recorded until 1609, when he took the lead in the project which was completed in 1613. The establishment of the New River was Myddelton's main claim to fame, and he was involved with the running of the company for the rest of his life, although he was also involved in mining and land draining projects.

Sir Walter Scott Bart.
Engraved by Willm. Walker from a Picture by Sir Henry Raeburn R.A.
Printed by McQueen. Published 1st. Octr. 1826 by W. Walker, 3 Gt. Queen Street, Edinburgh & 18, Norton Street, Portland Road, London [& Shroth, Paris].
Stipple and etching on india paper, proof, 395 x 305mm. (15½ x 12") with large margins. A fine impression, some foxing.
Sir Walter Scott, 1st Baronet (1771 - 1832) was a prolific Scottish historical novelist and poet popular throughout Europe during his time. In some ways Scott was the first author to have a truly international career in his lifetime, with many contemporary readers all over Great Britain, Ireland, Europe, Australia, and North America. His novels and (to a lesser extent) his poetry are still read, but he is far less popular nowadays than he was at the height of his fame. Nevertheless many of his works remain classics of English literature. Famous titles include Ivanhoe, Rob Roy, The Lady of the Lake, Waverley and The Heart of Midlothian. Royal arms to margin. After Sir Henry Raeburn (1756 - 1823).
