de Ridder Reynolds Pinxt. Sanson & Kitsin Sculpt.
by P. van Dyk Roterdam [n.d., c.1790s].
Rare stipple with soft-ground etching. 240 x 200mm (9½ x 8"), with large margins. One rust spot in plate, upper left, some soiling and stains.
Portrait of James Harris, 1st Earl of Malmesbury (1746 - 1820), diplomat; Britain's ambassador in The Hague 1784 - 1788. This is a scarce Dutch copy of the portrait by Sir Joshua Reynolds (1723 - 1792). Malmesbury furthered Pitt's policy of maintaining England's influence on the Continent by the arms of her allies, and held the threads of the diplomacy which ended in the king of Prussia's overthrowing the Patriot republican party in the Netherlands, which was inclined to France, and re-establishing the Prince of Orange. In recognition of his services he was created Baron Malmesbury of Malmesbury in September 1788.

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.

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.

Engraved by J. Hopwood.
[n.d., c.1790.]
Stipple engraving, 176 x 115mm (7 x 4½").
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".
