[Claude le Lorrain delin.t. R. Earlom fecit.]
[Published Mar 1st 1777 by John Boydell Engraver in Cheapside.]
Mezzotint with etched lines, printed in sepia. Very rare proof before all letters. 210 x 260mm (8½ x 10¼"), with large margins. Slight foxing in the margins.
An Italianate scene of a shepherd taking to passers-by, underneath a hilltop town, a bay behind. Engraved by Richard Earlom (1743 - 1822) after a sketch in the copy of Claude le Lorrain's 'Liber Veritatis' owned by the Duke of Devonshire at Chatsworth. Claude (c.1600-82) was a prolific and successful landscape painter, and, even during his lifetime, forgeries of his work appeared for sale. To combat this Claude made up six albums of tinted sketches of his completed works, each sketch with the name of the purchaser of the painting on the back. The 'Liber Veritatis' (Book of Truth) was then distributed around Europe so that his genuine paintings could be authenticated. The Chatsworth copy of the 'Liber Veritatis' contained 200 drawings, including a frontispiece portrait of Claude and five unrelated drawings. Commissioned by John Boydell, Richard Earlom engraved the full set between 1774 and 1777, when they were published by Boydell in two volumes, each containing 100 prints, numbered 1-200. A third volume of 100 prints was published by Boydell in 1819, which was numbered separately, containing mezzotints by Earlom after other drawings by Claude in various collections.

Engraving, fine with very large margins. Plate 185 x 125mm (7¼ x 5").
Christopher Clavius (1538-1612), the German Jesuit mathematician and astronomer who was the main architect of the modern Gregorian calendar. Image includes books, globes and instruments. In his last years he was probably the most respected astronomer in Europe and his textbooks were used for astronomical education for over fifty years in Europe and even in more remote lands (on account of being used by missionaries). Clavius joined the Jesuit order in 1555. He went to Italy and studied theology at the Jesuit Collegio Romano in Rome. In 1579 he was assigned to compute the basis for a reformed calendar that would stop the slow process in which the Church's holidays were drifting relative to the seasons of the year. Using the Prussian Tables of Erasmus Reinhold, he proposed a calendar reform that was adopted in 1582 in Catholic countries by order of Pope Gregory XIII and is now the Gregorian calendar used worldwide.
