[Roman statue said to be the Empress Matilda, with child and dolphin]
[by Elisha Kirkall.]
Scarce mezzotint. 365 x 215mm (14¼ x 8½"), with very large margins. Tear at bottom slightly inside platemark; creasing; foxing lower left.
Unusual mezzotint by Elisha Kirkall (1681/2-1742), one of the most distinctive of British engravers. Kirkall used the mezzotint technique which in the 17th and 18th century was used predominantly for portraits and domestic subjects, and used it to render a range of subjects usually represnted in line engravings at the time, including naval and topographical subjects. This print, with its large uninked areas, is an very unusual subject to depict in mezzotint. The British Museum's impression, from the collection of Hans Sloane, has an inscription in Sloane's hand: 'Empress Matilda / The statue is in the Palace at Kensington given by Mr Davenant'.

[Seven plates depicting the Acts of St Peter and St Paul.]
Raphael d'Urbin pinx.t
London. Printed for John Bowles in Cornhil, & Carington Bowles in St Pauls Church Yard.
Seven mezzotints with very large margins, each platemark approx 260 x 350mm (10¼ x 13¾"). Minor damage to margins but generally good.
Raphael was commissioned by Pope Leo X to design a set of large designs for tapestries to cover the lower walls of the Sistine Chapel. In 1623 the seven cartoons, depicting the Acts of St Peter and St Paul, were brought to England by Charles I. They were long displayed at Hampton Court and various engravings such as these in the 18th century reinforced the reputation of the cartoons as some of the most significant artworks in the country. Since 1865 they have been on loan from the Royal Collection to London's Victoria & Albert Museum, where they are permanently displayed together. The seven engravings are: The Miraculous Draught of Fishes; Christ's Charge to Peter; The Lame Man Healed by Peter & John; The Death of Ananias; Elymas the Sorcerer, Struck with Blindness; Paul and Barnabas at Lystra; and Paul Preaching at Athens.
For the cartoons as displayed at Hampton Court, see ref. 16693; for engravings from the first set made in England, see refs 14715 and 14720. Ex: Collection of The Hon. C. Lennox-Boyd.

These were a critical and financial success for the publisher John Boydell who promoted the interests of both artists, engravers and Patrons establishing a tradition in Britain for collecting prints.
