[Crockery sellers.]
T. Orde ft 1768.
Etching. Sheet 220 x 170mm (8¾ x 6¾"). Trimmed within plate on three sides.
A portrait of a man and a woman, both carrying baskets of crockery, by Thomas Orde-Powlett (1746-1807), a politician also known for his etched caricatures (mostly of Cambridge celebrities) which were published by his drawing-master, the well-known printmaker James Bretherton. The British Museum's impression has a pencil annotation 'Mrs. Hammond Printseller & D. Randal Printman at Cambridge', which they have taken as an identification. However as they have more than one Orde caricature with 'D. Randal' on the reverse it is more likely that Randal sold the print rather that is the subject.
See BM 1847,0713.61 for this print and 1847,0713.60 for the other 'Randal'. Ex. Collection N. Blackburn.

Sebastian Erard (1752-1855), French piano builder. He started in Paris as an apprentice to a harpsichord builder, but this changed after he saw the arrival of some early English square pianos, and by 1777 he was constructing his own. The evolution of his designs impressed not only the Frnech but also Louis XVI, and he was therefore granted a license to produce pianos. John Broadwood (1732-1812), British, was the founder of the piano manufacturer Broadwood and Sons. Along with William Stodart and Americus Backers, he was credited for devising the prototype for the grand piano, which eventually overtook sales of harpsichords. His other technical innovations include: adding a separate bridge for the bass notes, patenting the piano pedal in 1783 and expanding the then-standard five octave range upwards by half an octave, and then downwards by half an octave.
