Richard The Third, To the right hon.ble Baroness Howe, This print representing Garrick in the character of Richard the III, in the memorable Battle of Bosworth Field, Is dedicated by her ladyships most obedient humble Servant, John Boultbee.
Hayman & Boultbee pinx.t. W. Bromley sculp.t.
Chester, Published by John Boultbee, Jany, 21st 1811.
Stipple with etching, open letter state, 565 x 405mm (22¼ x 16"). Repaired small tear into upper margin and on right.
David Garrick (1717 - 1779), the greatest actor of his age, in a dramatic scene in the title role of William Shakespeare's history play Richard III. His costume is a suit of armour and robe, his sword is drawn and his helmet lies on the ground as he is surrounded by hostile forces; dying horse behind him. The painting by Hayman was probably prompted by Garrick's revival of the play at Drury Lane in 1759, although the attempts at historical veracity in evidence here owe more to history painting than the conventions of theatrical portraiture. The painting is in the collection of London's National Theatre.

Mezzotint, platemark 155 x 115mm (6 x 4½"). Thread (partly damaged) margins; water staining not showing on front.
David Garrick (1717-1779), English actor and theatrical manager. The most celebrated actor of his day, he did more than anyone else to change the British acting style, which prioritised energy and engagement above accuracy and control. As a manager (primarily of the Drury Lane Theatre, Covent Garden) he presided over the creation of Shakespeare as national poet and icon, while shaping the texts to suit the demands of his patrons. The supremacy of Drury Lane during Garrick's management was not to be matched until Irving's reign at the Lyceum in the following century, and in the names of pubs and streets, and the famous Garrick Club, Covent Garden is filled with echoes of one of the greatest men to have occupied the area. From a set of small mezzotint portraits of actors published by the printseller William Richardson in 1779. Garrick had died a few months before the print was published. Engraved after a painting by draughtsman and singer Robert Dighton (1751-1814) by the mezzotint engraver and printseller Robert Laurie (1755?-1836). Music, instruments and mask (representing theatre) in title area.

Mezzotint, platemark 635 x 395mm (25 x 15½"). Finished proof with scratched inscription; small margins; slight foxing.
David Garrick (1717-1779), English actor and theatrical manager, in the role of Richard III. By the time this print was published Garrick was particularly associated with this role. Hogarth also painted Garrick in the same role. Engraved from the painting by Nathaniel Dance shortly after it was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1771. The painting is owned by Stratford-on-Avon Town Council. It was acquired by Sir Watkin Williams Wynne, who reputedly outbidded Garrick himself (who had promised to buy the painting for his wife!). Garrick is known to have admired this print and sent impressions to his friends with complimentary lines printed and pasted on the back. It was also used as the model for Derby porcelain statuettes.

[n.d., c.1829.]
Scarce mezzotint. Sheet 560 x 740mm (22 x 29"). Trimmed within plate on three sides. Few minor repairs. Repaired tear top centre.
David Garrick lounging in a chair, arm raised to an informal audience. Behind the actor is the winged figure of Fame. According to a key in G. Daniel's "A Biographical and Critical Analysis of a Picture' (published in 1829, probably to coincide with the publication of this print), the audience consists of other English actors and Garrick's family, with William Hogarth at the front, back to the audience, head turned, gesturing at Garrick. These attributions were made by the owner of the painting and publisher of the print, James Webb Southgate, who, as an auctioneer and art dealer, had a vested interest in improving the attribution. The BM now attributes the painting to Pietro Longhi (1701-85) and describes the scene as Garrick in a Venetian salon in front of the Duke of Parma; The Lady Lever Art Gallery, where the painting currently resides, titles it merely 'A Poet Declaiming His Verses', despite the masks of comedy and tragedy under the seat suggesting a more theatrical theme.

Engraving, 7¾ x 4¼".
American general who fought in the French and Indian War and then was, at different times, commander of both the Northern Army of the U.S. and the Southern Army of the U.S. He was the commanding officer of the American force that retreated from the recaptured Fort Ticonderoga, and he was in command at the pivotal Battle of Saratoga. This success, coupled with George Washington's recent failures, prompted a movement to replace Washington with Gates as commander-in-chief. Washington, however, stayed on. Gates retired to his farm in 1789 but was called back a year later and given the command of the Southern Army. The defeat at Camden proved disastrous, and Gates was replaced by Nathanael Greene.

Gatto d'Angora. Il Gatto d'Angora è fra le più belle varietà di Gatto: per le forme somiglia moltissimo a quello del horazan o persiano, ed a quello di Cipro o certosino; ne diversifica pel colore della pelliccia...Grande quanto il Gatto ordinario, ne ha le qualità istintive, ma è d'indole più dolce. Trasportata fra noi, questa razza va perdendo, dopo alquante generazioni, della sua belleza.
