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.

Elizabeth I (1533-1603); reigned 1558-1603. The daughter of Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn, Elizabeth came to the throne on the death of her half-sister, Mary I. Her long reign, beginning in 1558, saw the secure establishment of the Church of England. It was characterised by relative peace and prosperity, a great increase in foreign trade and exploration, and a flourishing literary culture. Despite receiving many proposals of marriage, Elizabeth remained single and became legendary as the 'virgin queen'. Plate from Isaac de Larrey's 'Histoire d'Angleterre' (1697-1713) from design with allegorical elements and verses in French, by Adriaen van der Werff (1659-1722), acclaimed as the most important Dutch Master during his lifetime, although his reputation declined from the late 18th century onwards.

[n.d. c.1630.]
Engraving. Sheet 215 x 155mm (8½ x 6¼"). Trimmed within plate, laid on album paper, creasing.
Queen Elizabeth, crowned by stars and encircled in clouds, carrying a fan of ostrich feathers. Originally published c.1617 with text above the stars and title (as above) and three lines of verse by John Davies under the image, the plate was cut down, losing the title and text, and used as frontispiece to Camden's 'Annales' of 1630. The original portrait, before trimming of the plate, was the only Jacobean portrait to refer to a privilege, bought by Hilliard for the substantial sum of 13s. 4d. a year. See A.Griffiths, The Print in Stuart Britain' cat.11, for the early state.
