[c.1795]
Stipple, sheet 210 x 115mm (8¼ x4½").
Samuel Johnson (1709-1784), English writer who made lasting contributions to English literature as a poet, essayist, moralist, novelist, literary critic, biographer, editor and lexicographer. Johnson was a devout Anglican and political conservative, and has been described as "arguably the most distinguished man of letters in English history". He is also the subject of "the most famous single work of biographical art in the whole of literature": James Boswell's Life of Samuel Johnson. After working as a teacher he moved to London, where he began to write essays for The Gentleman's Magazine. His later works included essays, an influential annotated edition of William Shakespeare's plays, and the widely read novel Rasselas. In 1763, he befriended James Boswell, with whom he later travelled to Scotland; Johnson described their travels in A Journey to the Western Islands of Scotland. Towards the end of his life, he produced the massive and influential Lives of the Most Eminent English Poets, a collection of biographies and evaluations of 17th- and 18th-century poets. Engraving after the portrait by Sir Joshua Reynolds, published in the Dublin journal, the 'Sentimental and Masonic Magazine', published by John Jones of Grafton Street between 1792 and 1795.

Johnson and Boswell. To Sir W. Temple 1871 Broadlands. R.C. Lucas. 'Mrs Boswell who was one of the large class with small minds said that she had seen a man lead a bear but she never a bear lead a man until she saw Dr Johnson and her husband'. This class is still a vast majority. A lady refused to inspect my Johnson designs, saying the doctor nor his works were prett subjects for which I have given her the nightmare making the doctor and his books her incubus.
R.C. Lucas sculptor 1865
Etching printed in blue ink, with very large margins; rare; 180 x 270mm (7 x 10½").
Humorous scene apparently etched by the sculptor Richard Cockle Lucas (1800-83). Lucas' works included a statue of Dr Johnson in Lichfield, adjacent to the cathedral, and here he combines two jokes. The first is a depiction of Johnson leading Boswell by the nose; second is a parody of Fuseli's 'Nightmare' in which a woman of Lucas' acquaintance is haunted by his sculpture of Johnson (who she considered unfit as a subject for art). The print is seemingly dedicated to William Francis Cowper-Temple (1811-80), politician. Cowper inherited many of Lord Palmerstone's estates, including Broadlands, at Romsey. Lucas himself was a regular guest at Broadlands.

Jones, Gray & Keen was a short-lived partnership active only in 1841. Charles Jones, stepson and former apprentice of London instrument maker John Gray (the elder), later worked in Liverpool with Gray’s son from 1839. Robert Keen, also linked to the elder Gray’s London workshop, joined them in 1841. A notice in The Examiner on 1 January 1842 announced the partnership’s dissolution and Jones’s removal, likely due to his death in late 1841. Gray & Keen continued in business until 1855, exhibiting marine barometers at the Great Exhibition.

Jones, Gray & Keen was a short-lived partnership active only in 1841. Charles Jones, stepson and former apprentice of London instrument maker John Gray (the elder), later worked in Liverpool with Gray’s son from 1839. Robert Keen, also linked to the elder Gray’s London workshop, joined them in 1841. A notice in The Examiner on 1 January 1842 announced the partnership’s dissolution and Jones’s removal, likely due to his death in late 1841. Gray & Keen continued in business until 1855, exhibiting marine barometers at the Great Exhibition.

John Paul Jones (1747 - 1792), American revolutionary war naval officer and hero. Jones' spectacular, well-publicized exploits helped to give the American Revolution credibility at a time when international support was crucial. His popularity in France made it easier for Louis XVI to support a colonial rebellion, and his notoriety in Britain undercut public support for an increasingly unpopular war.
