Beaudesert, Staffordshire, Marquis of Anglesea
[after Humphry Repton]
London: Published by J. Taylor, Feb. 1 1816
Aquatint with hand-colouring, sheet 195 x 255mm (7¾ x 10"). Lacking overlay. Small tears; laid on conservation tissue.
Beaudesert, on the southern edge of Cannock Chase in Staffordshire, one of the family seats of the Paget family. The estate was broken up in the early 20th century, and demolition of the house began in 1935, but was never completed and some ruins still remain. Plate from Humphry Repton's 'Fragments on the theory and practice of Landscape Gardening', whose plates were engraved from drawings by the great landscape gardener. Repton's last treatise, 'Fragments' charts the break-up of landscape gardening and the society which sustained it, focusing on small flower gardens and ornate gothic buildings rather than the landscape at large. Repton died two years later, in 1818.

[Henry Somerset, first Duke of Beaufort.]
Guil: Faithorne del: et sculp:
Engraving. 275 x 200mm (10¾ x 8¼"). Trimmed on plate minor all over foxing.
Henry Somerset, Marquess of Worcester, [1629-1700] became the First Duke of Beaufort in 1682. Styled as Lord Herbert from 1646 until 1667, he survived the tumultuous and uncertain decades that followed the English civil war by creating remarkable political alliances. While sitting in the Cromwellian Parliament he maintained good relations with the Lord Protector. He was sent to the Tower in 1659 for his part in a Royalist plot and by 1660 was advocating the Restoration. He worked to restore his family's estates and political power base. He also sought to tame political and religious passions and to bring order and stability. Henry, third marquis of Worcester and first duke of Beaufort, was a powerful regional magnate and became an active member of Charles II's Privy Council. He refused to swear allegiance to William of Orange.

Fine & rare mezzotint. 540 x 415mm (21¼ x 16½"). Thread margin on left.
Francis Beaufort (1774-1856), naval officer and hydrographer, creator of the Beaufort wind scale. Early in his career at sea Beaufort's gallant record and scientific talents made him well known throughout the navy. In 1817 he published a record of his survey and exploration of the southern Turkish coast (then little known to Europeans). In 1829, at the age of 55, Beaufort became the Hydrographer of the British Admiralty, remaining so for 26 years, charting the seas to make them safe for the increasing amount of British and foreign shipping. Beaufort converted a minor chart repository into the finest surveying and charting institution in the world. Some of his excellent charts are still used, 200 years after he created them.

Frère Jacques Beaulieu. Célèbre Lithotomiste.
Lith. Paul Petit et c.ie.
[n.d., c.1860.]
Scarce lithograph on chine collé. Sheet 170 x 130mm (6¾ x 5") very large margins.
A portrait of Jacques Beaulieu (or Baulot, 1651-1719), an itinerant lithotomist, a surgeon specialising in the removal of calculi like kidney and gall stones. After a short career as a cavalry private, he had a six-year apprenticeship with another travelling surgeon. He travelled around with four assistants, who prepared his patients with cupping and blood-letting, before operating on all of them on the same day, usually leaving as soon as possible to avoid repercussions. From 1690 he donned the robes of a Dominican monk and started calling himself frère, without ordination. In 1697, in a session at the Hôtel Dieu in Paris, he performed a lithotomy in less than a minute and 10 more in less than an hour, with a 53.5% mortality rate while the average at the time was 14%, resulting in a five-year ban from practicing in Paris. He performed around 5,000 lithotomies before retiring in 1711. Based on a life-time portrait.

Philippe Dece Iurisconsulte.
NL.
[n.d. c.1682.]
Engraving. 185 x 132mm. 7¼ x 5¼". Cut.
Philippe de Beaumanoir (c.1247-1296) was a French jurist and royal official. After his studies of law in Orleans, and possibly Bologna, he became bailiff of Clemont in the county of Beauvaisis, then senschal of Poitou and the Saintonge; he managed to hold some very senior positions in the realm. All of this administrative experience helped form the basis to his principal work: "Coustumes de Beauvoisis" of 1283, which was first printed in 1690. This work was later regarded as one of the best works bearing on old French customary law, and was often referred to with high admiration by Montesquieu, who called him "la lumiere de son temps". Published in Isaac Bullart's 'Académie des Sciences et des Arts'.

Claude Beauregard (c.1591-1664) was a French physician and philosopher. He was professor at Pisa from 1628 until 1640, and from there he moved to Padua. His 'Circulus Pisnniis', published in 1643, was considered an Atheistic work. In the form of a dialogue he exhibited the various hypotheses of the formation of the world. The work was forbidden and is very rare. He was later charged for scepticism following the release of his book entitled 'Dubitutiones'.

Pub.d by T.Tegg, N°111 Cheapside London.
Coloured etching, Printseller's label stuck to top middle margin "Clinch 20 Princes of Soho". 350 x 250mm (13¾ x 9¾").
A satirical scene depicting the Regent, drunk, sitting with one leg on the supper table, leaning back in his chair. He puts a hand under the chin of each of two maidservants. The one on the left stands by the fire, holding steak tongs and a glass of wine. He says to her: "Dolly, I like your chops. Soon, I’ll discover the beauties of the Kremlin. Dolly, I think I’ll make you a Duchess. You’d be a nice, fat Duchess, and Cis here will be a Countess. Do you want to be a Duchess?" She replies, "Anything you want, your Highness!" General Bloomfield stands up to hand a glass of wine to Cis, saying, "Here, Cis, drink some Claret. A Countess should only drink Claret." A group of men and cooks crowd in the doorway to watch. One of them says, "What will he do with Dolly?" Another replies, "I think you’re finished with Monsieur Fricassée." The table has decanters and candelabras. The Pavilion, with its onion domes, was called the "little Kremlin."

G.B. Cipriani del.t F. Bartolozzi Sculp.t
Published according to Act, Nov.r 6th 1782, by the Proprietor, No 5, Poland Street, Soho
Stipple printed in sepia, platemark 250 x 190mm (9¾ x 7½"). Thread margins.
Woman sat on clouds with peacock. Stipple engraving 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.
