William Roscoe (1753 - 1831), banker, historian and collector. Roscoe, historian, poet, art collector, lawyer, politician and philanthropist, rose from humble beginnings in Liverpool to become one of the city's outstanding figures. He played an important role in developing the cultural life of the city while it was also growing commercially. Roscoe was called to the Bar in 1774. He entered Parliament in 1806 where he fought against the slave trade. In 1795 he published his first historical work, The Life of Lorenzo de' Medici (1795), which made his reputation as a historian. His other major work, The Life of Pope Leo X (1805), proved controversial, but was again a best seller. His 1806 poem, The Butterfly's Ball and the Grasshopper's Feast, has become a children's classic. Anti slavor. After Moses Haughton (c.1772- after 1848) for Thomas Cadell's 'The British gallery of contemporary portraits, being a series of engravings of the most eminent persons now living or lately deceased, in Great Britain and Ireland : from drawings accurately made from life, or from the most approved original pictures.'

Paris, chez Picot, Rue de Coq. St. Honore, 2 [n.d., c.1840].
Mezzotint. 268 x 190mm. 10½ x 7½"
George Sand (Amandine-Aurore-Lucile Dupin, later Baroness Dudevant) (1804 - 1876), novelist and feminist. George Sand was an amazing author, personality, and all-around woman. She earned as much notoriety for her Bohemian lifestyle as for her written work. Born Aurore Dupin, she was the most famous woman writer in 19th-century France. A prolific and iconoclastic author of novels, stories, plays, essays, and memoirs, she represented the epitome of French romantic idealism. She demanded for women the freedom in living that was a matter of course to the men of her day. George's first independent novel, Indiana, the story of an unhappy wife who struggles to free herself from the imprisonment of marriage (explicitly called a form of slavery), made her an overnight celebrity. Subsequent novels, such as Valentine and Lélia, astounded readers with their frank exploration of women's sexual feelings and their passionate call for women's freedom to find emotional satisfaction. In the eyes of many critics, George's masterpiece is her autobiography. Though she was a brilliant writer, she was perhaps most famous for her personality and lifestyle.

Sir Walter Scott, 1st Baronet (1771 - 1832) was a prolific Scottish historical novelist and poet popular throughout Europe during his time. In some ways Scott was the first author to have a truly international career in his lifetime, with many contemporary readers all over Great Britain, Ireland, Europe, Australia, and North America. His novels and (to a lesser extent) his poetry are still read, but he is far less popular nowadays than he was at the height of his fame. Nevertheless many of his works remain classics of English literature. Famous titles include Ivanhoe, Rob Roy, The Lady of the Lake, Waverley and The Heart of Midlothian. Royal arms to margin. After Sir Henry Raeburn (1756 - 1823).

[David Low, signed upper right.]
[n.d., c.1925.]
Original drawing, pen and ink over pencil with black body colour; sheet 295 x 230mm. 11½ x 9". Horizontal centre crease.
George Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950), playwright. One of the literary giants of the modern period, his writings span a vast spectrum of subjects and ideas. An active Fabian socialist, Shaw's influence was felt in politics and society at large; during the eighties and nineties he wrote important musical and dramatic criticism, introduced the British public to the work of Ibsen, and wrote some of his best plays. Successful seasons at the Royal Court Theatre (1904-7) established Shaw’s reputation and many of his plays, including Majora Barbara (1905) and Pygmalion (1914) later reached wider audiences as popular films. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1925. By Sir David Low (1891 - 1963), cartoonist, born in Dunedin, New Zealand; for a periodical.

Woodcut, printed area 180 x 130mm, 7 x 5¼", titled and signed by the artist in pencil, limited edition of 175. Time stained.
George Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950), one of three caricature portraits of the literary giants of the age, published as 'Three Living Lions', the others being G.K.Chesterton and H.G. Wells. Joseph Simpson (1879 - 1939), painter and etcher of portraits and sporting subjects, born in Carlisle and studied art at Glasgow School of Art. He designed covers for Edinburgh publishers and was a prolific designer of bookplates. In 1918 he became an official war artist for the RAF and was stationed in France. Simpson was already forty-five when he took up etching in 1925, at the height of the boom period for the medium. His first twenty or so plates were etched with a gramophone needle and printed by the artist himself on the small press lent to him by a local Carlisle printing firm. His first exhibition of etchings took place in Glasgow at Wishart Brown in March 1926, for which his friend Frank Brangwyn wrote the catalogue introduction.
