[Louis, Dauphin of France.]
[n.d., c.1710.]
Etching, proof before letters, 520 x 370mm. 20½ x 14½".
Louis, Dauphin of France (1661 - 1711) set full length into a highly decorative border consisting of emblems of the French monarchy. Below is an empty cartouche before inscription. Louis was the eldest son and heir of Louis XIV, King of France and his Queen, Marie-Thérèse d'Autriche. He was popularly known as le Grand Dauphin. This wasn't due to any sense of greatness but, rather, to his large physical size. He died before his father. Probably engraved by François Chéreau (1680 - 1729).

Her Highness Princess Louisa.

Sold by T. Jefferys at the Corner of St. Martins Lane Charing Cross and by W. Herbert at the Golden Globe on London Bridge [c.1760].
Rare mezzotint, platemark 370 x 250mm (14½ x 9¾"), with large margins.
Louisa, Queen of Denmark and Norway (1724-51) as a girl. The second daughter of George II, Louisa married Prince Frederick of Denmark and Norway, with whom she had five children, in 1743. Frederick became king following the death of his father in 1746 and it was hoped that Louisa would encourage Denmark to side with Britain against Prussia, although she was unable to influence her husband's policies. Louisa died following an operation on a hernia developed during childbirth in 1751. Engraving after a portrait by James Worsdale (c.1692-1767), portraitist and rake, whose success as an artist has been attributed mostly to his amusing conversation, conviviality, and clever singing and acting. He was involved in forming the Hell Fire Clubs in Dublin and Limerick, and had close associations with the stage in London and Dublin.
