A Fair-Lawn View - or the Portsmouth Journey. ''He that is robb'd not wanting / ''What is stolen, let him not know it, / ''And he's not robb'd at all.
[by Charles Williams.]
Pub,d Jan.y 1823 by S.W. Fores 41 Piccadilly.
Rare coloured etching, watermark 1818. 245 x 345mm (9¾ x 13½"), large margins. Time stained.
A scene at Fairlawn house at Acton Green: a man (probably James Capy, Lord Portsmouth's valet) recoils at seeing Lady Portsmouth asleep in the arms of another man, while Lord Portsmouth sleeps on the farther side of the large bed. John Charles Wallop (1767-1853), 3rd Earl of Portsmouth, had an unsound mind from an early age. After the death of his first wife in 1813, John Hanson, his solicitor, quickly arranged the marriage of the earl and his own daughter, Mary Anne, intending to have the earl declared insane six months later. This failed (thanks to Lord Byron, who had given the bride away), so Mary Anne began an adulterous affair with William Alder, even having intercourse in the same bed with the Earl, fathering three children on her. Eventually it was discovered that the Earl was being badly mistreated by his new wife and her lover. He was adjudged to have been insane since 1809. In 1828 marriage was annulled, Mary Anne's children declared bastards and a judgment for the £40,000 cost of the trial was issued against her. She fled abroad.

[Lord Fairfax from an Original of Cowpers in the Collection of George Scott Esqr.]
Thos. Worlidge Fecit 1755.
Etching, platemark 85 x 65mm (3¼ x 2½"). Good margins; white laid paper.
Portrait of Thomas Fairfax, 3rd Baron Fairfax (1612 - 1671). Perhaps the most accomplished Parliamentarian officer, Fairfax was appointed Lord General of the New Model Army after his victory at Marston Moor, 1644. His decisive string of victories, beginning with the battle of Naseby in 1645, won the Civil War for Parliament. Extremism alarmed him and he refused to serve on the court which tried the King or to lead the army into Scotland in 1650. He retired from public life until 1660, when he supported General Monck's march to London to demand a free parliament and was one of those who went to the Hague to greet Charles II before his Restoration to the throne. By Thomas Worlidge (1700 - 1766), 'the English Rembrandt' and a pupil of Alessandro Maria Grimaldi, whose daughter Arabella he married. Early proof before text added below the image.

Plate from Isaac de Larrey's 'Histoire d'Angleterre' (1697-1713). The portrait derives from a painting by Robert Walker engraved in the 17th century by Faithorne, but the design is 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.

John Shapland [in pencil]. WH Sweet [in pencil]
[n.d. c.1900]
Coloured etching signed by both artists, 250 x 170mm (9¾ x 6¾"), with very large margins.
A woodland scene; a woman wearing a stola observes naked fairies frolicking amongst the toadstools. John Shapland (1865-1929) was a painter from the Southwest of England. He mainly specialised in seascapes and landscapes largely in watercolour but occasionally in oil. He exhibited at the RA, Paris Salon, and in the USA. Two of his exhibits at the RA were entitled 'Fairy Led' and 'Paradise Lost'. He was the principle of the Exeter School of Art from 1899 to 1913. William (also known as Walter) Henry Sweet (1889-1943) was a British painted and etcher. He studied at the Exeter School of Art under the guidance of his friend John Shapland. He worked locally and exhibited work at the Devon and Exeter Annual Exhibition at Elands Art Gallery in the 1900s. After the First World War, he moved to Dundee, Scotland, and was employed by James Valentine and Sons as a commercial illustrator.

G.B. Cipriani Inven.t F. Bartolozzi Sculp.t
Walker excudit. London. Publish'd July 1.st 1784 by Ja.s Walker Carver & Printseller No. 148 Strand.
Stipple, fine impression; platemark 215 x 210mm (8½ x 8¼"). Small margins. Glued to backing sheet at corners.
Woman holding cross, with two putti holding chalice. Stipple engraving by Francesco Bartolozzi (1725-1815) after his frequent collaborator Giovanni Battista Cipriani (1727-85). Bartolozzi was born in Florence but migrated to England, and in 1768 was elected as a founding member of the Royal Academy in London (the RA did not admit engravers at this time but made an exception in his case). He was already hailed as the best engraver in Italy when he met George III's librarian Richard Dalton in 1763. Dalton invited Bartolozzi to London with a promise of an appointment as engraver to the king. In England he became the most celebrated exponent of the 'stipple' technique whereby he produced prints using dots rather than lines. In 1801 Bartolozzi was invited to Lisbon to reform the royal printing press, and he spent his final years in Portugal. This impression from the collection of Dr. Augusto Calabi of Milan, art historian who co-authored (with A.B. de Vesme) the authoritative catalogue raisonné of Bartolozzi's work.
