An important catalogue raisonné of the engravings of Turner's 'Liber Studiorum', this example owned by art dealer Francis Harvey, with his notes of the prices attained by the prints at auction in the late 19th century. Harvey pasted a letter from the author on the front endpaper, dated January 16th 1886: 'I am sorry the rules of my club [the Burlington Fine Arts Club] do not allow of my giving you a catalogue as they are only issued to members, but I shall be happy to lend you my copy at any time. I enclose an order for the Exhibition in case you may like to see it. Yours truly, W.G. Rawlinson'. The invitation reads: 'Burlington Fine Arts Club. 17, Savile Row, W. February , 1886. The Members of the Burlington Fine Arts Club have the honour to invite [Mr Francis Harvey & Friends] to see a Collection now in the Writing Room of the Club, of Engravings and Drawing illustrative of the Drawings by J.M.W.

He published 'A Catalogue of Engraved Portraits of English & Foreign Celebrities: On Sale at Prices Affixed by Francis Harvey'. During his career he amassed two great collections of Rowlandson caricatures: one, containing 3,000 prints, came up for sale at Sotheby's in 1959 and was bought for the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art; the other, with 2,000 prints by Rowlandson and other caricaturists, formed the 'Auchincloss Bequest' to Yale University library.

Sir James Turner (1615-c.1686), Scottish professional soldier who fought for the Swedes in the invasion of Bavaria in 1632 and the Thirty Years' War, and both the Scottish Covenanting army and the Royalists during the Civil War. After the Restoration, promoted to general, he helped supress the Lowland Covenanters, provoking the Pentland Uprising in 1666, during which he was captured at Dumfries. Often threatened with execution, he survived, perhaps because his captors knew he had been criticised for leniency by his superiors. This portrait was published as the frontispiece portrait to his 'Pallas Armata', essays on classical and modern warfare.
