Thomas Dodd (1771-1850) was an English auctioneer and printseller; in 1796 he took a small shop in Lambeth Marsh before moving to Covent Garden. It wasn't until 1806 that he opened an auctionroom in St Martin's Lane, where he sold some famous collections, among them being that of General Dowdeswell in Janaury 1809. Dodd acquired a wide knowledge of engravings, and began an elaborate biographical catalogue of engravers, which eventually formed thirty folio volumes of manuscript. In 1817 Dodd spent time on a dictionary of monograms, but a similar work by Brulliot was published about that time.

Fine mezzotint. Mounted on an album page. Image 357 x 252mm. 14 x 10". Cut and laid on sheet. Some glue staining to the corners.
Matthew Prior (1664-1721) was an English poet and diplomat. On his father's death, he left school, and was cared for by his uncle, a vintner in Channel Row. Here Lord Dorset found him reading Horace, and set him to translate an ode. He did so well that the earl offered to contribute to the continuation of his education at Westminster. One of his schoolfellows and friends was Charles Montagu, 1st Earl of Halifax. It was to avoid being separated from Montagu and his brother James that Prior accepted, against his patron's wish, a scholarship recently founded at St John's College, Cambridge. He took his B.A. degree in 1686, and two years later became a fellow. In collaboration with Montagu he wrote in 1687 the City Mouse and Country Mouse, in ridicule of John Dryden's The Hind and the Panther. From the Belton House Collection assembled in the 18th Century by the Rt. Hon. John Ld. Brownlow, Baron Charleville, & Viscount Tyrconnel in the Kingdom of Ireland. Ex: Collection of The Hon. C. Lenno
