The injured Tancred supported by Vafrin, while Erminia, kneeling on the ground, holds his hand. Scene from 'Jerusalem Delivered' by Torquato Tasso (1544 - 1595).Stipple 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.

Etching, sheet 125 x 215mm (5 x 8½").
One of series of views in Tangier (modern Morocco) by Wenceslaus Hollar (1607-77). Tangier came into English possession as part of Catherine of Braganza's dowry when she married Charles II in 1662, although attempts to develop it strategically and commercially were unsuccessful. In 1688 Hollar, in his capacity of 'Scenographus Regus', went there as part of a mission sent to deal with problems with hostile natives. Hollar made some sketches of the fortifications, published in 1673. The fortifications shown were demolished in 1684 when the English government abandoned Tangier. Some of Hollar's drawings of Tangier are in the British Museum.
