W.m Page leaving his Phæton, while he Robs a Gentleman, near Putney.
Wale delin. Pollard sculp.
[n.d., c.1774.]
Engraving. 180 x 115mm (7 x 4½"). Binding damage in right margin.
William Page (1730-58), highwayman. Using his own map of the roads 20 miles around London, he would drive his carriage out, change his clothes for the robbery, then return to London as an image of respectability. After this robbery he returned to find his phæton and clothes had been stolen. Following the thieves to an inn, he threw his highwayman's clothes down a well, then burst in to accuse them of robbing him, although he did not press charges. Because of his use of disguises he was acquitted several times because witnesses could not recognise him. However he was eventually convicted at Rochester, for robbing Captain Farrington on Blackheath; the magistrate who sentenced him to death was Henry Fielding, the novelist. An illustration from 'The Newgate Calendar'.

Equestrian portrait of Henry William Paget, 1st Marquess of Anglesey (1768 - 1854), Field Marshal and Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland. As Lord Paget, Anglesey served with great distinction as cavalry commander under Sir John Moore during the retreat to Corunna in 1809, the 'Dunkirk' of the Peninsular war. He was prevented from serving under Wellington in the Peninsula by a scandal: he ran off with Wellington's brother Henry's wife Lady Charlotte Wellesley. Wellington, though, was happy to accept him as a subordinate for the Waterloo campaign, crushing a colleague who reminded him of Anglesey's reputation with: 'I'll take good care he don't run away with me: I don't care about anyone else.'

He is directed, facing, and looking towards the right, holding book titled inscribed, 'Rights of Man'. A frontispiece to a pamphlet entitled, 'Common Sense, addressed to the inhabitants of America' written by Thomas Paine in 1775-76 which inspired people in the 'Thirteen Colonies' to declare and fight for independence from Great Britain in the summer of 1776. In clear, simple language it explained the advantages of and the need for immediate independence. It was published anonymously on January 10, 1776, at the beginning of the American Revolution and became an immediate sensation. It was sold and distributed widely and read aloud at taverns and meeting places.

The plate is an adapted copy of the satire 'The Power of Beauty, or the Painter Enamoured', published by McCleary in Dublin c.1810 (V&A E.470-1955), although it removes the portrait of Sarah Baartman (the 'Hottentot Venus') on the back wall and caricatures the artist. Sarah Baartman (c.1789-1815) was brought to Europe for exhibition, and was in England and Ireland 1810-14, going to France where she died the following year.

Publish'd by F. Bartolozzi, 1788
Etching printed in sepia, platemark 235 x 315mm (9¼ x 12½"), with very large margins.
Women and putti studying works of art. Etching by Francesco Bartolozzi (1725-1815) after his frequent collaborator Giovanni Battista Cipriani (1727-85). Bartolozzi was born in Florence but migrated to England, and in 1768 was elected as a founding member of the Royal Academy in London (the RA did not admit engravers at this time but made an exception in his case). He was already hailed as the best engraver in Italy when he met George III's librarian Richard Dalton 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. In 1801 Bartolozzi was invited to Lisbon to reform the royal printing press, and he spent his final years in Portugal. This impression from the collection of Dr. Augusto Calabi of Milan, art historian who co-authored (with A.B. de Vesme) the authoritative catalogue raisonné of Bartolozzi's work.

The Town of Paisley.
Drawn on the Spot by I. Clark.
London, Published by Smith, Elder & Co., 65 Cornhill, 1825.
Coloured aquatint. 510 x 665mm, 20 x 26¼". Trimmed to printed border at top, false margin added, two repaired tears.
Paisley in Renfrewshire, from the "Views in Scotland" series. Although it cannot be proved it is believed that 'I. Clark" is the Scottish painter John Heaviside Clark, famed as 'Waterloo Clark' for his early sketches of the Battle. He was also skilled in aquatinting, and certainly none of this series has a named engraver.
