Printed for C. Cooke Jan. 9 1808.
Stipple, sheet 150 x 95mm (6 x 3¾"). Trimmed inside platemark.
John Hawkesworth (c.1720 - 1773), writer. He is said to have been clerk to an attorney, and was certainly self-educated. In 1744, he succeeded Samuel Johnson as compiler of the parliamentary debates for the Gentleman's Magazine. In company with Johnson and others, he started a periodical called 'The Adventurer', which ran to 140 issues, of which 70 were from the pen of Hawkesworth himself. Hawkesworth was a close imitator of Johnson both in style and thought, and was at one time on very friendly terms with him. It is said that he presumed on his success, and lost Johnson's friendship as early as 1756. Hawkesworth is most remembered today for his compiling of the three-volume 'An account of the voyages undertaken by the order of His present Majesty for making discoveries in the Southern Hemisphere...', which contained the official account of James Cook's first circumnavigation, on which Cook mapped New Zealand and the east coast of Australia accurately for the first the time.

John Hawkesworth (c.1715 - 1773) compiled ‘An Account of the Voyages undertaken by order of his present Majesty for making Discoveries in the Southern Hemisphere...', 1773, which contained the official account of Captain Cook's first circumnavigation. Adverse criticism to the book affected his health and he died the year of publication. This is engraved from a portrait by Reynolds. According to DNB, 'Hawkesworth appears to have sat to Sir Joshua Reynolds four times, viz.: in September 1769, January 1770, October 1772, and July 1773'. It also notes that 'Malone also records that Sir Joshua Reynolds told him that Hawkesworth was latterly ‘an affected insincere man and a great coxcomb in his dress'.

Portrait of Boston-born Henry Hope (1735-1811), merchant and partner in the Amsterdam-based Hope & Co. He settled in England in 1794 and then lived in Harley Street.

By the middle of the eighteenth century, they had become the greatest financiers in Europe. Henry Hope (1736-1811) was the head of the family. In the notes that he made of a journey to Holland in 1781 Reynolds records frequent visits to his collection "acknowledged to be the first in Amsterdam". The portrait by Reynolds from which this is taken, with a prominent Turkish rug symbolising Hope's riches and the reach of his business, is now lost.

Samuel Johnson (1709-1784), English writer who made lasting contributions to English literature as a poet, essayist, moralist, novelist, literary critic, biographer, editor and lexicographer.

After working as a teacher he moved to London, where he began to write essays for The Gentleman's Magazine. His later works included essays, an influential annotated edition of William Shakespeare's plays, and the widely read novel Rasselas. In 1763, he befriended James Boswell, with whom he later travelled to Scotland; Johnson described their travels in A Journey to the Western Islands of Scotland. Towards the end of his life, he produced the massive and influential Lives of the Most Eminent English Poets, a collection of biographies and evaluations of 17th- and 18th-century poets. Engraving after the portrait by Sir Joshua Reynolds, published in the Dublin journal, the 'Sentimental and Masonic Magazine', published by John Jones of Grafton Street between 1792 and 1795.
