Miller. De la société Royale de Londres. De l'Academie des Botanistes de florence et Directeur du Jardin de Botanique Des Apothicaires de Chelsea.
C.F. Maillet, fecit 1787.
Engraving. Plate: 250 x 175mm (9¾ x 7''). Trimmed to plate on top edge, ink marks from verso in French. Small margins on 3 sides.
Half-length profile portrait of a man facing right, wearing a queue wig, an open jacket, and an embroidered waistcoat. The figure is set within an oval frame, surrounded by foliage and a garden wall. This engraving was intended to depict the botanist Philip Miller (1691–1771) and was created by C.J. Maillet for the posthumous 1787 French edition of Miller’s Gardeners Dictionary. However, the image is a case of mistaken identity; it is actually a self-portrait of John Miller (1715–c.1792), also known as Johann Sebastian Müller, a German engraver and botanist active in London. Philip Miller was the chief gardener of the Chelsea Physic Garden from 1722 until shortly before his death and a Fellow of the Royal Society. Despite the misidentification, the two Millers did collaborate at the Chelsea garden for a period.

Portrait of Richard Monckton Milnes, 1st Baron Houghton (1809 - 1885), politician and poet. While at Trinity College, Cambridge, Milnes joined the progressive Apostles Club, which included the poets Alfred Tennyson and Arthur Henry Hallam. Milnes entered Parliament as an MP in 1837 and was actively involved in issues of copyright and the establishment of juvenile reformatories. He was made a peer in 1863. His early poetry led many to regard him as one of the most promising writers of his generation, but he is better remembered as an influential member of literary society and as a patron of writers. He published the Life, Letters, and Literary Remains of John Keats (1848), secured a pension for Tennyson and was an early champion of the poet Algernon Charles Swinburne. From a series of portraits by Count Alfred Guillaume Gabriel d'Orsay (1801 - 1852), Paris-born artist and gentleman of fashion. His profile sketches of his contemporaries, to the number of 125, include among them nearly all the literary, artistic, and fashionable celebrities of that time.

[Minerva and Mercury with a young man]
G.B. Cipriani invt. F. Bartolozzi sculpt.
London Pub'd. as the Act directs Mar.h 1 1787 by F. Bartolozzi.
Etching printed in sepia, platemark 260 x 270mm (10¼ x 10½") very large margins.
Etching by Francesco Bartolozzi (1725-1815), Florentine engraver and founding member of the Royal Academy in 1768. After meeting George III's librarian Richard Dalton in Italy in 1763, Dalton invited Bartolozzi to London with a promise of an appointment as engraver to the king. In England he became the most celebrated exponent of the 'stipple' technique whereby he produced prints using dots rather than lines. This is the medium employed here, one of many prints he made from designs by his fellow Italian, G.B. Cipriani (it was published in 'A Set of Etchings by Francis Bartolozzi R.A. in Imitation of Drawings from the Sketches of the Late John Baptist Cipriani R.A.' in 1788.

Mines [pencil].
Norman Wilkinson
[n.d., c.1930.]
Coloured photolitho signed in pencil by the artist, rare. 320 x 480mm (12½ x 19").
A pair of minesweepers, designated 'ML 191' & ML '193', with an exploding mine. Lieut. Norman Wilkinson, CBE (1878-1971), 'a prolific illustrator of salmon and trout fishing', was an illustrator for the Illustrated London News, and during both World Wars worked developing camouflage techniques. Although no comprehensive catalogue of Wilkinson's angling etchings has been published, David Beazley suggests 'a total number of etched images amounting to 71, of which at least 45 were offered for sale as single sheet prints in signed limited editions'.
