Engraving with large margins. Plate 310 x 185mm. 12¼ x 7¼".
Portrait of Mary of Modena, wife of King James II; bust and shoulders in frontal view, in a laurel oval on a pedestal draped with a curtain, a crown at left. Illustration to fourth volume (facing page 478) of Isaac de Larrey's "Histoire d'Angleterre, d'Ecosse et d'Irlande" (Rotterdam: 1697-1713). Mary of Modena (1658-1718) was the Roman Catholic Queen of James II. She dedicated herself to the conversion of England, but her support of her husband's pro-Catholic policies made her unpopular. The fear of a Catholic succession to the throne, caused by the birth of their son James Francis Edward in 1668, led to the invitation of William of Orange to England.

[engraved by Charles Turner after an anonymous portrait.]
Published Oxford Oct.r 17. 1813, by James Wyatt, Carver, Gilder, & Picture Frame Maker.
Mezzotint, printed in colours. Sheet 565 x 435mm (21¾ x 17"). Trimmed within plate, losing title, notches in edges, entering image lower right. Unidentified blind-stamp 'J W' in inscription area bottom left. Damaged.
A fanciful half-length portrait of Mary, Queen of Scots, wearing a headdress consisting of a heart-shaped hood (atifet) with lace trimmings and a wired veil extending over shoulders and arms, a ruff, a square-necked slashed bodice with a white partlet, and a crucifix suspended from a ribbon around her neck.

Tinted lithograph. Sheet 520 x 390mm (20½ x 15½").
Self-portrait of Masaccio (Tommaso di Ser Giovanni di Simone, 1401-28), the first great painter of the Quattrocento period of the Italian Renaissance. As one of the first artists to use linear perspective he was hugely influential. This print was published in 'Les Oeuvres Lithographiques', a huge series of reproductive plates of paintings in German collections, by Johann Nepomuk Strixner (1782 - 1855) and Ferdinand Piloty (1786-1844). Their work did much to popularise lithography, as they showed the technique could achieve all the same effects as other engraving techniques.

A Ghost. L'Apparition.

Stipple, printed in colours. Framed, sight size 230 x 255mm (9 x 10". Unexamined out of frame.
Two girls huddle, one points, in fear of a "ghost", which is in fact a young boy playing around with a sheet over his head. As the pair, 'The Mask' after Joshua Reynolds, depicted two of the daughters of George Spencer, 4th Duke of Marlborough (who owned the painting), it is likely these are also his children.

London, Pub.d March 1. 1791, by T Simpson St. Paul's Church Yard.
Stipple, printed in colours. Framed, sight size 230 x 255mm (9 x 10". Unexamined out of frame.
Two girls huddle, one points, in fear of a "ghost", which is in fact a young boy playing around with a sheet over his head. As the pair, 'The Mask' after Joshua Reynolds, depicted two of the daughters of George Spencer, 4th Duke of Marlborough (who owned the painting), it is likely these are also his children.

Sir Edm.d Mason.
Record Pinx.t. F. Jukes Sculp.t.
Pub.d Aug.t 8 1788 by I. Holl, Printseller, High Street, Worcester.
Aquatint with large margins; printed in sepia. 240 x 190mm (9½ x 7½").
'Sir Edmund Mason, or the Knight Poker; a lunatic of Cheltenham'. Mason (d.1801) has been called the 'English Quixote', being convinced that he was the greatest general of the age, with honours heaped on him by all the royalty of Europe, especially Frederick the Great of Prussia, as displayed in this portrait. He owned the fastest race horse in the land and was in love with a princess from some far off land. He was always penniless because of the problems of cashing bills of exchange for millions. Although he always bore arms he was regarded as harmless and his manners were so impeccable that he was humoured locally. However in his later years to had to be confined for his own safety; he reconciled this in his mind by taking his confinement as the governorship of a castle.
