La belle Laurette
P. Loutherbourg pinx. / P. de Colle sculp. ap N. Cavalli Venetys
[c.1780]
Fine engraving, platemark 230 x 295mm (9 x 11½"). Very large margins.
'The Plea', from 'Laurette' by Jean François Marmontel (1723-99). Philippe Jacques de Loutherbourg executed a drawing (now in the National Gallery of Ireland) which was engraved by Byrne, Bartolozzi and Middiman in 1776 as 'Lauretta'. This print was presumably a copy of the British print, with some additional landscape filled in to fit the rectangular plate (the British print is an oval composition). This print is also reversed from the British print, which would also suggest that it was copied directly and then reversed when printed from the plate onto the paper.

[Cavalry officer and horse.]
[Anon., c.1818]
Pen lithograph, Slade 1818 watermark; sheet 195 x 245mm (7¾ x 9½"). Trimmed.
Early pen lithograph. The new medium allowed artists to draw directly onto a prepared stone, allowing them to make prints which arguably resembled drawings more than any earlier printmaking technique. Unlike many printmaking techniques, lithography required no special training as artists could work directly onto the plate and leave specialist printers to actually make the prints. For this reason many artists who were not trained printmakers (such as Géricault and Delacroix) often worked in lithography.
