Apollo & Daphne.
Ex Tabula Titiani.
J. Smith fecit Londini. 1709.
Mezzotint in sepia ink. 415 x 280mm (16¼ x 11"). Trimmed to plate. Crease through lower right corner. Some spotting.
Daphne, wearing a loose dress with one breast bared, her hands beginning to sprout leaves and branches, pursued by Apollo, nude and carrying a bow and quiver. In the foreground, nude and sitting on the ground, Daphne's father, ther river-god Peneus, beside whom is an upturned urn pouring out water that forms a river. From the series 'Tabulæ novem coelo elaboratæ ad totidem Titiani archetypos Nine Prints from the Celebrated Paintings of Titian, in the Duke of Marlboroughs Gallery, at Blenheim' by the famous early mezzotinter and re-publisher of older plates John Smith (1652-1743). The series of Smith mezzotints commonly known as 'The Loves of the Gods' are after a series of leather wall-hangings formerly in the Titian Room at Blenheim destroyed by fire in 1861. The attribution to Titian is uncertain, however, and was doubted as early as 1766 (see G. Scharf, Catalogue Raisonné, Blenheim Palace, London, 1862, pp. 83-92). The designs are based on prints by Caraglio after Pelino del Vaga and Rosso Fiorentino.

Hugh Cecil Lowther, 5th Earl of Lonsdale [1857 - 1944], sportsman. Joseph Simpson [1879 - 1939], painter and etcher of portraits and sporting subjects. He was born in Carlisle and studied art at Glasgow School of Art. He became a close friend of D.Y. Cameron and was elected RBA in 1909. Simpson designed covers for Edinburgh publishers and was a prolific designer of bookplates. In 1918 he became an official war artist for the RAF and was stationed in France. Simpson was already forty-five when he took up etching in 1925, at the height of the boom period for the medium. His first twenty or so plates were etched with a gramophone needle and printed by the artist himself on the small press lent to him by a local Carlisle printing firm. His first exhibition of etchings took place in Glasgow at Wishart Brown in March 1926. His friend Frank Brangwyn wrote the catalogue introduction. A second highly successful show was staged in November 1926 by Alex, Reid and Lefevre in London. Simpson exhibited in Munich, Venice, Florence & Stockholm.

F. v. Steen S.C.M. Sc: fec.
Engraving. 265 x 180mm (10½ x 7"), very large margins.
Oval portrait of Jerzy Sebastian Lubomirski (1616-67), a Polish noble and able commander in wars against the Ukrainian Cossacks, Sweden, Transylvania and Muscovy (1648-60). However he is best remembered for the Lubomirski Rebellion (1665-6), which successfully prevented reforms of the Commonwealth, but caused him to be exiled. The Italian text suggests this is an illustration to one of the works of historian Galeazzo Gualdo Priorato (1606-78).

[Engraved by William Austin after Andrea Lucatelli.]
[London, 1781.]
25 loose etched plates. Plates c.200 x 245mm (8 x 9½"), large margins. Two plates trimmed within plate, some plates with old ink mss. numbers.
25 plates from one of the rarest of eighteenth century drawing books, containing 30 vedute after Italian artist Andrea Locatelli (1695-1741), etched by William Austin (1721-1820). Austin was a pupil of George Bickham and worked with Paul Sandby and Francis Vivares. He ran a print-shop publishing some political caricatures, anti-French and pro-Fox, but gave up print making for teaching drawing, first in London and afterwards in Brighton. The title (as above) comes from the example in the Metropolitan Museum of Art; the Yale Center for British Art has a pirated version, 'exemplified in thirty-eight etchings', published by T. Simpson, 1781.
