[Ernest Edwin Abbott.]
[n.d. c.1930.]
Etching. 234 x 191mm. 9¼ x 7½".
Ernest Edwin Abbott (1899-1973) was born in Bideford, Devon. In 1911 he left alone as an ironmonger for Western Australia. In 1913 he married Florence Radcliffe Olde, collar worker, also from Bideford. According to the Electoral Rolls of 1919 and 1924 for Kooyong, Victoria, a subdivision of Kew, he was described as an artist. They finally moved to Melbourne where he later died, three years after his wife. He was mainly self-taught. Abbott was a craftsman so had studios and made his own engraving tools and printed his images on a flat-plate press. He is best known for italglio prints, watercolours and some oils. In 1920 having moved to Melbourne he took a studio in Oxford Chambers, but after about a decade he gave up his city studio to focus on printmaking at his home, particularly dry-point etching. His work focused around Egyptian, Australian and English scenery. Abbott is not known to have exhibited during his lifetime, although a retrospective exhibition was held in 1993.

A century ago one of the most eventful scenes of David Garrick's career was enacted here, for it was from this house that the great actor was buried. Mrs. Tregaskis first started, as Mrs. Bennett, at the corner of Southampton Row, and some time after removing to her present shop, married Mr. James Tregaskis, and the two together have built up a business which is scarcely without a rival in London. The shop is literally crammed with rare and interesting books, whilst 'The Caxton Head Catalogues' are got up with every possible care. " - W. Roberts' The Book-Hunter in London.

T.C. Lewis & Co. 96 Cheapside London [c.1850]
Etching and aquatint with hand-colouring, sheet 230 x 310mm (9 x 12¼"). Trimmed.
At a gathering of smartly-dressed black people, a couple walk out onto the dance floor as an orchestra plays on the balcony. One of a series of 'Tregear's Black Jokes', a set of twenty caricatures first published in 1834, the year in which the Slavery Abolition Act came into force. The prints, which were advertised as 'A Series of Laughable Caricatures on the March of Manners amongst Blacks', developed the theme of the earlier 'Life in Philadelphia' caricatures lampooning the social aspirations of Philadelphia's black population. These were first published by Edward William Clay in the United States in the 1820s. The London publisher Gabriel Shire Tregear published copies of the 'Life in Philadelphia' caricatures, then followed it up with 'Tregear's Black Jokes'. After Tregear's death his plates passed to his former shopman Thomas Crump Lewis (1808-81), whose publication line is on this print. The three mentions of Tregear's name on the plate have either been changed to Lewis', or simply effaced.
