![[Mortimer's Etchings of Figures] To Jos.a Reynolds](jpegs/53765.jpg)
[Mortimer's Etchings of Figures] To Jos.a Reynolds President of the Royal Academy, these Etchings are dedicated by his humble Serv.t J.H. Mortimer.
Published Dec.r 8th 1778 by J. Mortimer Norfolk Street Strand [but Thomas Palser, 1812?].
Folio, 370 x 275mm (14½ x 10¾"), original boards with printed title label; etched title and 16 plates, some watermarked '1811'. A little wear to covers, plates generally clean.
A posthumous edition of Mortimer's 'Fifteen Etchings', a collection of romantic scenes inspired by Mortimer's hero, the painter Salvador Rosa (a portrait of whom is one of the plates); the subjects include banditti, allegorical figures of Comedy and Tragedy, a portrait of painter Gerard Lairesse and six fantastical plates of sea-monsters. Two of the monsters are additional plates, by Mortimer but dated 1780, added to the work by Mortimer's widow Jane. The series was dedicated to the President of the Royal Academy the year that Mortimer first exhibited there (rather than at the Society of Artists) and, shortly after, elected A.R.A. Mortimer died in 1779, aged only 38. His widow republished the plates in 1780, with the addition of two more plates of sea-monsters ('Revengeful' and 'Sleeping', dated 1780 but both drawn and engraved by Mortimer). Christie's held a sale of Jane Mortimer's property in 1808, at which Thomas Palser presumably bought the printing plates: he published 'Mortimer's works: a collection of fifty historical designs' (including this series) in 1812, with a second edition in 1816

Thomas Mortimer, Esq.r
Sr. W. Beechey pinx.t Ridley sculp.
Published by J. Sewell, Cornhill, May 1. 1799.
Stipple. 146 x 108mm. 5¾ x 4½".
Thomas Mortimer (1730-1810) was a voluminous writer, chiefly of biographies and economic subjects. He was educated at Harrow and mastered French and Italian to improve his studies of modern history. In 1762 he was made English vice-counsul for the Austrian Netherlands, a post he retained for six years. Mortimer's largest work was The British Plutarch, also owned in a first edition by Belmont Abbey, which details in six volumes the lives of eminent Britons from the time of Henry VIII to George II. He also authoured a General Commercial Dictionary and translated Gautier's Life and Exploits of Pyrrhus from the French. This three volume History seems likely to have been his proudest project, given his known preference for the subject and the ambitious title-page dedication to Queen Charlotte.

B. Orchard pinx: W. Elder sculp.
[London, 1692.]
Engraving. 160 x 95mm. 6¼ x 3¾". Some scuffing the paper surface in image area.
Dr Richard Morton (1637-1698) was an English physician; frontispiece to Morton's "Pyretologia, seu Exercitationes de morbis universalibus". He was the first to state that tubercles were always present in the tuberculosis disease of the lungs. The paper, to which this portrait acts as frontis to, is significant partly due to the fact that the disease received little study by other doctors of the time despite it being a major cause of death, accounting for over 18% of all deaths in the City of London in 1700; it was is significant in that it contains the first recognised medical descriptions of the wasting condition now known as Anorexia Nervosa.

[The Tsar Bell] La Grande Cloche de Moscou dite Tzar Kolokol. Pesant 10,000 pouds, et fondue en 1733 par l'ordre de la Majesté L'Imperatrice Anna Ivannovna. [Cyrillic title.]
Dessiné d'apres Nature par F.J. Bell 1837.
Scarce lithograph. Printed area 275 x 285mm (10¾ x 11¼"). Tears in inscription area repaired.
A view of the largest bell in the world, with a diameter of 6.6 metres (22 ft), although it has never been rung. The bell was cast in the Kremlin in 1735, with ornaments added after it has been raised from the 10-metre casting pit. However a fire broke out in the Kremlin, and the supports of the bell caught alight. Guards threw cold water over the bell causing eleven cracks, and a huge slab broke off, before the supports collapsed and the bell fell back into its pit, where it reamined until 1837. That year a French engineer, Auguste de Montferrand, raised it again, placing it on a stone pedestal, as depicted here.
