Painted by Rob.t Smirke R.A. Engraved by Is.c Taylor Jun.
Published Jany. 1. 1795 by John & Josiah Boydell, at his Shakspeare Gallery, Pall Mall _ & at No. 90 Cheapside, London
Engraving with etching, fine impression, open letter proof before quote from play, J. Whatman 1794 watermark. 495 x 625mm (19½ x 24½"), with large margins. Crease top margin.
Falstaff as Herne the Hunter, with stag's horns on head, lies prostrate in front of 'Herne's Oak', taunted by local children pretending to be fairies. Mistresses Page and Ford enjoy the spectacle on the left. John Boydell (1720-1804), publisher and Lord Mayor of London in 1790, began his Shakespeare Gallery to encourage British historical painting by commissioning paintings on the theme of Shakeapeare's plays from leading artists and reproducing them as high quality prints. When his gallery in Pall Mall opened in 1789 it contained 34 paintings; by the end it has nearly 170, by artists including Kauffman, Richard Westall, Thomas Stothard, George Romney, Henry Fuseli, Benjamin West, Robert Smirke, John Opie & Francesco Bartolozzi. 96 were engraved, published separately until the bound edition, ''A Collection of Prints, From Pictures Painted for the Purpose of Illustrating the Dramatic Works of Shakspeare, by the Artists of Great-Britain'' was issued in 1805. The project was over-ambitious and the cost caused the firm to go bankrupt.

The Messenger of Peace.
[Isaac Cruikshank]
London Pub.d by SW Fores N.o 50 Piccadilly Oct.r 29. 1796.
Hand coloured etching, part watermark 1794; 310 x 420mm (12¼ x 16½"). Trimmed within plate mark. Hinged into mount at top corners.
The English mission advances humbly from the left, led by the English diplomat James Harris, 1st Earl of Malmesbury (1746-1820), who bows low before three of the Directors, who are seated haughtily on a platform. Behind them is a canopy on the back of which is a picture of Hercules trying in vain to break a bundle of rods; this is enclosed in a motto: 'Les Francais unis sont invincibles'. They wear an approximation to the official costume of the Directors: long cloaks with deep collars and feathered hats, but which deviates from correctness by its greater resemblance to that of a Spanish don: they wear ruffs over their collars, and breeches instead of the long-belted tunic and sash. The central Director says, with a scowl, "Now you have made your Bow retire till we order you in again Va-t-en"; he takes a pinch of snuff from his neighbour's box. The other two echo 'Va-t-en Va-t-en'; one contemptuously uses a toothpick, the other takes snuff. From Malmesbury's pocket hangs a paper inscribed 'Finesse'. His suite hold banners and all bend low except a man just behind him who carries on his head heavy bales, resembling folded textiles, but inscribed: 'A clear & explicit explanation of an intended Negotiation to procure an hon[or]able Just & Permanent Peace according to existing circumstances'. A sailor on the extreme left, erect behind the bowing diplomats, shouts "Aye, Aye, as clear as mud". He stands in the doorway, which is inscribed 'Directory'. The eight banners are respectively inscribed: '60,000 Foot Militia'; '200,000 Fencibles'; '60,000 Additional Seamen'; '40000 Horse 100,000 Yeomanry Cavalry'; 'Navy Victualling Exchequer Bills Funded'; '50 000 Game Keepers for Rifle Men'; 'Another Loan of 40.000.000'; 'Fortifications all round the Coast'. Malmesbury and five of his followers wear ribbons.
