[n.d., c.1752.]
Rare etching. Sheet 280 x 185mm (11 x 7¼"). Trimmed within plate.
A portrait of Justine Favart (Marie Justine Benoîte Duronceray, 1727-72), playing the harp in the role of Roxelane in The Three Sultanas, written by her husband, Charles Simon Favart. An operatic singer, actress, playwright and dancer, Justine caught the attention of Maurice, comte de Saxe, a Marshal of France and her husband's patron. When he began to making advances, Charles was forced to flee so that Justine could be established as Maurice's mistress. When the marshal realised she was fickle, she was confined in a convent until she surrendered herself. Soon afterwards, in 1750, the marshal died and Favarts could resume their careers. This print was published two years later.

Groups of figures chatting during an interval at a concert of chamber music in an impressive interior; musicians in the orchestra beyond. The Felix Meritis society was established by the middle classes of Amsterdam in 1777 for the promotion of arts and sciences, inspired by the ideals of The Enlightenment.

Many famous musicians performed there, including Robert and Clara Schumann, Camille Saint-Saëns, Johannes Brahms and Julius Röntgen. The small hall of the Concertgebouw is a replica of this concert hall. The society was abolished in 1888.

A fine watercolour view of Ridley House, Felixtowe. In the early 1840's Sir Robert and Lady Harland acquired a Georgian farmhouse by the sea at Old Felixstowe. It was then largely rebuilt in the Italianate style in 1843 by Sir Robert. Twenty years later it was bought by Lady Login who occasionally let it to friends for short periods. The most interesting of these was a short let to Edward Fitzgerald the poet who lived in nearby Woodbridge. The high level of skill and accuracy of the painting would suggest that it was made by an architect.

The Female Coterie Well, this is certainly one of the most usefull institutions!_ Lame Lover
T. Bonnor del et sculp
[London Magzine, October 1770]
Etching, platemark approx. 115 x 175mm (4½ x 7").
Satirical print showing a meeting of the Ladies Club or the Coterie, a club for ladies formed in May/June 1770, which met at Almack's Rooms on Pall Mall. It's membership consisted of the Whig elite and was not exclusively female: Horace Walpole was also a member. Gillian Russell has written of how this print shows 'the stigmatization of the Coterie as a site of feminized (and feminizing) licentiousness', promoting promiscuity, adultery, drinking and irresponsible gambling, traditionally associated with gentleman's clubs but here usurped by women.
