[Sir Launcelot enjoying the Humours of a General Election] Launcelot Greaves
[Stothard del Blake sculp]
[Published as the Act directs by Harrison & Co. Sep. 21, 1782]
Engraving, sheet 135 x 75mm (5¼ x 3"). Trimmed to image, losing text.
Illustration to Tobias Smollett's novel 'The Adventures of Launcelot Greaves' (first published 1760-62), a picaresque novel reminiscent of 'Don Quixote' (which Smollett had translated), published for the 'Novelist's Magazine'. This scene is strongly reminiscent of William Hogarth's 'Chairing the Member', from his set of paintings (and prints), 'Humours of an Election' (paintings c.1754-5, now in the John Soane Museum). Engraving by William Blake (1757-1827), visionary artist and poet who also worked as a journeyman engraver. This early work was one of many Blake engraved from designs by his friend Thomas Stothard, Britain's most prolific book illustrator. While establishing himself as a copy engraver in the early 1780s, Blake was also studying at the Royal Academy and developing the highly personal approach he used in his original watercolours.

Johann Kaspar Lavater (1741-1801) was a Swiss poet and physiognomist.

His most prominent work, which kept his name alive, was "Physiognomische Fragmente zur Beförderung der Menschenkenntnis und Menschenliebe (1775-1778). Goethe fell out with Lavater in 1774 accusing him of superstition and hypocrisy.

Antoine Laurent Lavoisier (1743-1794) was a French nobleman prominent in the histories of chemistry and biology, known as the 'father of modern chemistry'. He stated the first version of the law of conservation of mass, recognized and named oxygen (1778) and hydrogen (1783), abolished the phlogiston theory, helped construct the metric system, wrote the first extensive list of elements, and helped to reform chemical nomenclature. He was an investor and administrator of the "Ferme Générale" a private tax collection company; chairman of the board of the Discount Bank (later the Banque de France); and a powerful member of a number of other aristocratic administrative councils. All of these political and economic activities enabled him to fund his scientific research. Before the Revolution he was an administrator of the 'ferme génerale', which during the ancien regime collected duties on behalf of the king, but at its height he was accused by Jean-Paul Marat of selling adulterated tobacco and was guillotined in 1794.

William Mackenzie, London, Edinburgh & Glasgow. [n.d., c.1880].
Lithograph. Sheet size: 240 x 310mm (9½ x 12¼").
A plate from William Mackenzie's 'British Field Sports', c.1880. A scene depicting a lawn tennis match in action, as two players are watched by a large crowd from the stand behind. The modern game of tennis originated in Birmingham, England, in the late 19th century as 'lawn tennis' and had close connections to various field games such as croquet and bowls as well as to the older racquet sport of real tennis. William Mackenzie, of Ludgate Hill, Edinburgh and Dublin, was a well-known publisher of books in the 1870s. His best-known publication was probably County Seats of 'The Noblemen and Gentlemen of Great Britain and Ireland'.
