[Mrs Elizabeth Sheridan] St. Cecilia. Proof.
Sir Joshua Reynolds Pinx.t. S.W. Reynolds Sculp.t.
[n.d., c.1820.]
Proof mezzotint. 230 x 165mm (9 x 6½"), with large margins.
Singer and writer Elizabeth Ann Sheridan (née Linley, 1754-92), painted as Saint Cecilia, patron saint of musicians and of Church music. She plays the organ seated on a low stool, two angelic children singing behind; from upper left, cloud with shafts of light. Miss Linley of Bath married the playwright Richard Brinsley Sheridan after eloping with him, in 1773. She was famous for her soprano voice, so the pose was obviously suitable. Sheridan, having ordered the picture, found he could not afford to pay for it. It was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1775. From "Engravings from the Works of Sir Joshua Reynolds', a four-volume set (later nine) with over 350 small mezzotints.

Etching with very large margins, platemark 140 x 175mm (5½ x 7").
Portraits of the actor Daniel Terry and his artist wife Elizabeth, seated in a dark room. Etched by the Scottish painter and etcher Andrew Geddes (1783-1844). The Oxford DNB states that 'as an etcher Geddes ranks higher than as a painter; his plates may be regarded as among the very earliest examples in modern British art of the brilliancy, concentration, and spirited selection of line proper to a ‘painter's-etching’'.

A slender man in profile delicately standing on tip-toe in the attitude of a dancing-master. His elbows are held out, he holds his hat. He is dressed like the Frenchman of caricature, with a high toupee wig.

Charles Bretherton (c.1760 fl - 1783) was an engraver, etcher, watercolourist and publisher in London. He was the younger brother of James Bretherton, hence often signs as Bretherton junior.

Passengers of both sexes and every shade of temper, peremptory officials, boys for luggage, "touters" in the service of hotels, are all hurried in, discussing or squabbling with each other, and every individual has his appropriate head-dress, the lower man being concealed by the table. As a mere exhibition of physical dexterity the rapid exchange of hats for caps, and caps for hats, might fairly excite admiring wonder; but still more singular are the variations of Mr. Woodin's countenance, which is twisted into as many forms of expression as would illustrate a respectable edition of Lavater.''. His 'Olio' was one of the most popular shows in London, running until late 1860, before being replaced by ' Blanchard & Woodin’s Cabinet of Curiosities'

Born in Hoxton, London in 1751, she married the actor James Wrighten in 1769 and was enaged by David Garrick for his Drury Lane Theatre in 1770. She was a leading singer at the theatre for the next sixteen years, and was also a favourite performer at Vauxhall Gardens. Wrighten had six children with only brief respites from the stage in between, and was seriously ill in both 1784 and 1786. In December 1786 her marriage broke down and she left her husband and children and abandoned the theatre, and went to live in Southwark with Hugh Pownall, a manufacturer of sulphuric acid. As a result her father cut her out of his will. The couple moved to America where they married, and the now Mrs Pownall sang to much acclaim in Philadelphia, New York, Boston and Charleston (some considered her the best vocalist heard in America up to that point). James Wrighten having died in the meantime, her daughters joined her in America where they performed alongisde her. Mary Ann died in Charleston. From a set of small mezzotint portraits of actresses and singers, published by the printseller William Richardson in 1780, apparently to follow up a similar set of actor portraits published the previous year.
