Designs for Free Churches, Manses and Schools James Raeburn Architect, Edin.
Drawn and presented by Rob.t R. Raeburn. Fr. Schenck Lith. Edin.r [1845]
Lithograph, printed area approx. 250 x 390mm (9¾ x 15¼"). Creases.
Architectural designs promoting the work of Scottish architect James Raeburn (1787-1851) and drawn here by his son Robert Reid Raeburn (1819-88), also an architect. James was principal clerk at the Scottish Office of Works until its abolition in 1839, whereupon he retired to set up his own practice. The Dictionary of Scottish Architects suggests that James' 3 Warriston Place address at the time these designs were published indicates that his practice had not flourished, and this sheet of designs (including churches for Montreal and Banff in Canada) was presumably made in an attempt to generate more business. It also publically indicated the Raeburns' support of the Free Church of Scotland following the Disruption of 1843. Following James' death in 1851, Robert Reid continued his father's practice, living in Edinburgh for the remainder of his career.

Ernest Gambart, an agent of the French print publisher Goupil, quickly launched himself on his own as a print publisher and seller and established the French Gallery in the mid-1850s at 120/121 Pall Mall as a full-time space devoted to the exhibition and sale of contemporary art. It was one of the first and most successful commercial galleries of contemporary art in London, and its emergence paralleled a larger transformation of the art market. Sir Henry Raeburn (1756-1823) was a Scottish portrait painter. Here this illustrated catalogue includes a foreword by James Grieg and press notices of the collection of pictures on view at the French Gallery

Ipse pinx WN ft 1818.
Fine etching on india, platemark 270 x 225mm (10½ x 9"), very large margins. Fine proof impression, before 'No 3' added upper right.
Engraving from Sir Henry Raeburn's 1815 self-portrait in the Scottish National Gallery. Raeburn's career had deteriorated in the early years of the 19th century, and he hoped to improve his fortunes by moving from his native Scotland to London in 1810. He was elected as a full member of the Royal Academy in 1815 and sent in the self-portrait as his diploma picture, not knowing that portraits of members could not be accepted. As Duncan Thomson (DNB) writes: 'great effort had gone into the making of this Olympian image, for its high seriousness was how he [Raeburn] wished to be perceived in London. His disappointment must have been extreme. It was eventually replaced by the sentimental 'Boy with Rabbit', a portrait of his stepgrandson Henry Raeburn Inglis'. Etching by William Nicholson (1781-1844), portrait painter and etcher. In 1818 Nicholson began to publish a series entitled 'Portraits of distinguished living characters of Scotland, drawn and etched by William Nicholson from his portraits and those by other painters', which included the lettered state of this print.
For another print in Nicholson's series see ref. 16377.
