Francis Pettit Smith Esq.r To whose talent & untiring energies the World at large is indebted for the first, practical introduction of the system of Screw Propulsion, Into the Naval & Merchant Services of all its greatest Matatime Nations. Proof.
Painted by William Boxall A.R.A. [...] Engraved by Sydney Marks
[c.1860]
Rare open-letter proof mezzotint. Platemark 460 x 365mm (18 x 14¼"), large margins on two sides.
Sir Francis Pettit Smith (1808-74), inventor of the screw propellor. An enthusiastic builder of model boats as a boy, by 1835 Smith had built a model propelled by a screw, powered by a spring, which he believed would be more efficient than the paddle wheel then universally used by steamships. The following year Smith took out a patent for screw propulsion, and applied his technology to progressively larger vessels. The Admiralty persuaded Smith to build a large ship, the 'Archimedes' (the name is inscribed on the propellor visible in this portrait), but eventually declined to purchase it, leading to the failure of Smith's company. Smith's friends rallied around him, however, and secured him a civil-list pension and the post of director of the Patent Office museum. Smith was knighted in 1871. Fine mezzotint after the portrait by William Boxall now in the Science Museum.

G. Kneller Pinx [...] T. Holloway Sculpt

Line engraving, platemark 230 x 185mm (9 x 7¼"), with very large margins. Repaired tear along platemark on left.
Sir Christopher Wren (1632-1723), architect, mathematician and astronomer best-known as the architect of St Paul's cathedral and the City churches built following the Great Fire of London. Wren was a man of many interests rather than one specialism, who fostered talent wherever he found it (Hawksmoor is the classic example), but left no school of followers. Engraving after a detail of the 1711 portrait by Sir Godfrey Kneller (London, National Portrait Gallery), cropped to exclude the plan of St. Paul's Cathedral on which Wren's hand rests in Kneller's portrait. The print was published as a plate to J.C. Lavater's 'Essays on Physiognomy'.
