[after P.W. Tomkins.]
Pub. 1795 by G.F. Cook.
Rare stipple, printed in sanguine. 280 x 215mm (11 x 8½"). Crease.
A scene from 'The Fool of Quality; or, The History of Henry, Earl of Moreland', written by the Irish writer Henry Brooke and published in five volumes 1765-70. Two ladies on a table drinking tea in background. It tells the story of Harry Clinton who, rejected by his decadent and aristocratic father, is educated on enlightened principles by his philanthropic uncle. Inspired by the Methodist movement, it was influential in its day: Charles Kingsley described it as 'more pure, sacred and eternal than anything since the Faerie Queene'. However to modern taste it is rambling and sentimental: Walter Allen, author of the important study 'The English Novel' (1954), called it 'one of the worst novels ever written, but a remarkable book'. A reversed copy of the plate engraved by Bartolozzi after Tomkins.

In his memoir 'Fifty Years of My Life', he tells how he left school after curfew: 'I took into my counsel the school Crispin, one Cobbler Foot by name, an old man-of-war’s man, and he made for me a rope ladder, a ''Jacob's ladder,'' I think they call it, similar to that made for ascending the sides of ships of small burden. Thus provided, I climbed the wall with much less risk to my neck than via the lamp iron''.

Scarce lithograph on chine collé. 285 x 210mm (11¼ x 8¼"), with large margins. Slight spotting.
Three-quarter length portrait of a cobbler, standing, holding a strap and papers. George Keppel (1799-1891), 6th Earl of Albemarle, who attended Westminster from 1809 to 1815 (when he fought at Waterloo). In his memoir 'Fifty Years of My Life', he tells how he left school after curfew: 'I took into my counsel the school Crispin, one Cobbler Foot by name, an old man-of-war’s man, and he made for me a rope ladder, a ''Jacob's ladder,'' I think they call it, similar to that made for ascending the sides of ships of small burden. Thus provided, I climbed the wall with much less risk to my neck than via the lamp iron''.
