The Hammersmith Ghost. 4

Engraving, sheet 220 x 140mm (8½ x 5½"). Trimmed to plate at bottom.
In 1803 the 'Hammersmith Ghost', apparently the spirit of a man who had committed suicide by cutting his own throat, was terrorising the area and one of his victims, a woman taking a shortcut through a graveyard, died of shock. In the ensuing furore a dust-covered bricklayer was shot dead by a customs officer (who was sentenced to death but was reprieved), before the real 'ghost' was captured. It was a man trying to frighten people in retaliation for someone having scared his children by telling them ghost stories.

John Hawkesworth (c.1720- 1773), writer, compiled ‘An Account of the Voyages undertaken by order of his present Majesty for making Discoveries in the Southern Hemisphere...', 1773, which contained the official account of Captain Cook's first circumnavigation. Adverse criticism to the book affected his health and he died the year of publication. Here he is portrayed in his study. 'Ironically, the lasting popularity of ‘Hawkesworth's Voyages', as they soon came to be known, kept his name alive among general readers more successfully than anything else he wrote. But as a man of versatile talents who was widely read and a leading figure in the cultural life of eighteenth-century London, his virtual eclipse in the twentieth century seems curious' (DNB).

She married a Colonel Gwynn after Goldsmith's death, becoming a woman of the Bedchamber to Queen Charlotte. Catherine, Mary's sister, married the artist William Henry Bunbury.

[Thomas Earl of Arundel.] Illustris.us & Excellent.muss D.nus Dominus Thomas Howard, Comes Arundeliae & Surriae [...]
Ant. van Dyck Eques pinxit W Hollar fecit 1646.
Etching, sheet 260 x 195mm (10¼ x 7¾"). Trimmed to platemark and laid on album paper. Faint foxing along the lower margin. Damage to bottom right corner of image affecting the title area.
Thomas Howard, fourteenth earl of Arundel, fourth earl of Surrey, and first earl of Norfolk (1585-1646), art collector and politician. This print was first made for the 'Iconographiae', a collection of prints after van Dyck portraits, which was published in the Netherlands from 1630 onwards. Arundel almost certainly played a pivotal role in bringing van Dyck to England. British Museum cataloguing for the print claims that it is based on van Dyck's 'Madagascar portrait' of Arundel and his wife (Arundel Castle, West Sussex) which showed the earl sat next to a globe, pointing to Madagascar. The Arundels had devised a scheme to colonize the island and obtained a royal licence to move there, although the plan came to nothing, perhaps because of the earl of Arundel's deteriorating health. Despite obvious differences between the Madagascar portrait and this print, there is a strong resemblance. Etched by Wenceslaus Hollar (1607-77), Bohemian printmaker who spent most of his career working in England after meeting the earl of Arundel in Cologne in 1636. Hollar subsequently followed him to England, took up lodgings in Arundel House, married one of Lady Arundel's servants, and made prints of numerous works in the Arundel collection. This plate was etched in 1646 in Antwerp, where Hollar moved for several years, following the Arundels there. He also etched a portrait of Lady Arundel adapted from the Madagascar portrait, and a straightforward copy of the double portrait.
