[Three warriors in mountains.]
[B. M. Fischer, c.1810.]
Pen lithograph, sheet 320 x 215mm (12½ x 8½"). Trimmed.
Early pen lithograph. The new medium allowed artists to draw directly onto a prepared stone, allowing them to make prints which arguably resembled drawings more than any earlier printmaking technique. Unlike many printmaking techniques, lithography required no special training as artists could work directly onto the plate and leave specialist printers to actually make the prints. For this reason many artists who were not trained printmakers (such as Géricault and Delacroix) often worked in lithography.
Ex: collection of the late H. C. Lennox-Boyd.

Coloured etching. 260 x 385mm (10¼ x 15¼"), with very large margins; watermarked 'J Whatman 1807'. Colour slightly faded.
This is said to be an unkind caricature of Miss Sarah Sophia Banks (1744-1818), sister of Sir Joseph Banks the naturalist. If so she wears one of her three riding habits, which she called 'hitem, titem, and scrub', as she enters an inn with her entourage. Sir Joseph donated her collection of prints and coins to the British Museum.
