[Lady Christiana Collier] Cælia, Lamenting her Dead Sparrow.
J. Reynolds pinx.t. Graham Sculp.
Printed for John Bowles, at the Black Horse in Cornhill, London [engraved c.1765 but published c.1790].
Mezzotint. 350 x 250mm (13¾ x 9¾"), on wove paper. Narrow margins.
A half-length portrait of Lady Christiana Collier in the character of Caelia, despairing over her dead bird, with a verse in English and Latin. The verse is part of Catullus 3, a eulogy to the pet bird of his girlfriend, named Lesbia rather than Caelia. In 1763 Christiana Gwyn (b.1749) married Vice-Admiral Sir George Collier (1732-1795), who was best known for destroying the American fleet in Penobscot Bay in 1779, the worst naval defeat of the Americans until Pearl Harbour. They divorced in 1772. The engraver, George Graham, had emigrated to America by 1796 and is recorded working in New York, Boston and Philadelphia. It is likely that he put his name on a reworked plate, as John Bowles died in 1779, the year before the 16 year old Graham entered the RA School. Compare BM 1902,1011.2254 (proof before letters) and 1833,0610.19 (signed by Graham).

Hand coloured etching, signed by the artist in pencil. 290 x 210mm (11½ x 8¼"). Unexamined out of frame.
The sitter is identified as 'Dr Collins' in ink on plate lower right. Doctor Collins was medical officer of National Sporting Club, a private boxing club founded in London in 1891, at 43 King Street, Covent Garden. The founders were John Fleming and A.F. “Peggy” Bettinson, and Hugh Lowther, 5th Earl of Lonsdale was its first president.

In 1909, the president introduced the Lonsdale Belt as a prize to be awarded to the British champion at each weight. The belts were made from porcelain and twenty-two carat gold.
