Welsh Moutain Ponies.
J. Trasott, Nelson Sq.e
A very rare etching. 260 x 382mm. 10¼ x 15".
Welsh mountain ponies are known for their good nature; their movement is bold and free, and often characteristically fast, especially at the trot. The Welsh Pony is reputed to be trustworthy and to have a good disposition, but is also spirited and enduring. They are known for their stamina and soundness; they generally have even temperaments and friendly personalities. They are usually easily trained, in part due to their high level of intelligence.

[Pontypridd Old Bridge] [The Great Bridge of the Taaffe in South Wales.]
[Richard Wilson Pinx.t. P.C. Canot Sculp.t.]
[Published July 17th 1775 by John Boydell Engraver in Cheapside London.]
Scarce engraving, proof before all letters. 400 x 540mm (15¾ x 21¼"), with large margins. Uncut.
Pontypridd's 'Old Bridge', built 1756 by William Edwards, at the time the longest single-span bridge in Britain. Still in use as a footbridge, it is Grade I listed. This bridge was Edwards' fourth attempt: the first (1746) had three arches but was swept away by a flood after two years; the second (1748) collapsed during construction; the third fell after only six weeks. The expence of the successive rebuildings left Edwards out-of-pocket, and a subscription was raised to pay his debts. Richard Wilson (1 August 1714 - 15 May 1782) was a Welsh landscape painter, and one of the founder members of the Royal Academy in 1768. The son of a clergyman, Wilson was born in Penegoes, Montgomeryshire. In 1729 he went to London where he began as a portrait painter. From 1750 to 1757 he was in Italy and adopted landscape on the advice of Francesco Zuccarelli. Painting in Italy and afterwards in England, he was the first major British painter to primarily concentrate on landscape. He composed well, but saw and rendered only the general effects of nature thereby creating a personal, ideal style influenced by Claude Lorrain and the Dutch landscape tradition. According to John Ruskin, he 'paints in a manly way,'. His landscapes were acknowledged as influential and many were engraved by the most accomplished artists and engravers. Wilson died in Colomendy, Denbighshire. This very fine proof engraving of Pontypridd Bridge is Wales was engraved by Canot. Canot, Peter Charles 1710-1777, engraver, was a native of France, who came to England in 1740, and remained here till he died. He was a member of the Incorporated Society of Artists in 1766, and was elected an associate engraver of the Royal Academy in 1770, when that degree was first instituted. He exhibited at the Society of Artists, the Free Society, and the Royal Academy.

Very scarce mezzotint with hand colour, sheet 165 x 130mm (6½ x 5"). Trimmed. Taped into mount.
A portrait of Alexander Pope (1688-1744), depicted in a bust, facing left in profile, wearing a laurel crown, and set within an oval frame lettered with greek letters. Jacob Christoph Le Blon (1667-1741) was a painter and engraver from Frankfurt who pioneered the system of three- and four-color printing. He used the RYB color model, which later evolved into the modern CMYK system. Le Blon employed the mezzotint technique to engrave three or four metal plates, each corresponding to a different ink, allowing for prints with a broad spectrum of colors. His innovations laid the groundwork for the development of modern color printing. Not in CS. New Hollstein 39. Ex: Collection of The Hon. C. Lennox-Boyd. From Christopher Mendez, who states "that this maybe only the second impression recorded".
