![[15 scenes set against French-style chateaux, gardens, grottos and fountains after Jean Lepautre.]](jpegs/59633.jpg)
[15 scenes set against French-style chateaux, gardens, grottos and fountains after Jean Lepautre.]
[Sold by Sam.l Sympson at his Print Shop in Catherine Street Strand] [n.d., c.1730.]
Set of 15 etchings, numbered in top margin in old ink mss, some have 18th century watermark. Each plate c. 220 x 305mm (8¾ x 12"). Paper toned; Pl. 7 with hole in image; Pl. 11 trimmed close to plate top right.
A collection of untitled plates etched by Jean Lepautre (1618-82), bought and republished by Samuel Sympson (fl. 1720-d.1751) in London. Although the focus of the plates is French-style architecture and garden designs, the subjects include at least one biblical subject: plate 1 is the baby Moses being presented to Pharaoh's daughter (BM 1929,0523.15). Probably issued as a guide for garden designers and architects. The BM records an advertisment in 'The Craftsman' (29 May 1732) offering for sale a volume of '164 different designs of the celebrated Master Le Potre', stating that 'The said Mr Sympson having purchased the plates from France, the prints will be sold at a very low rate'. Sympson moved from Catherine Street to Maiden Lane in 1732.

[Frontispiece to James Howell, 'Lexicon tetraglotton'] Associatio Linguarum. La Ligue des Langues
W Faithorne Fc. [c.1660]
Engraving, platemark 260 x 165mm (10¼ x 6½").
Frontispiece to a later edition of 'Lexicon tetraglotton' (first edition 1660) by James Howell (1594?-1666), a dictionary in four languages. The four women are emblematic of the English, French, Spanish and Italian languages. The publication of this work was supported by Bulstrode Whitelock (for whom see ref. 21594). Engraving by William Faithorne (c.1620-91), printmaker who was apprenticed to the printseller William Peake, with whom he served in the royalist army during the civil war. At the Restoration Faithorne was appointed engraver in copper to the king, doubtless as reward for his devotion to the Stuart cause. The finest native British engraver born before the eighteenth century, Faithorne was highly esteemed by Pepys (who recorded many visits to his shop) while enthusiasts such as Horace Walpole ensured his posthumous reputation, which led to fine proofs of his work fetching extraordinary prices in the late Georgian period.

Scene demonstrating how the Marine Society recruited boys for sea service by providing them with clothing kits. Frontispiece to Jonas Hanway, 'Three Letters on the subject of the Marine Society' (1758). Hanway (bap.1712- d.1786) was a philanthropist and governor of the Foundling Hospital who founded the Marine Society in 1756 following the outbreak of the Seven Years' War, both saving the boys from poverty and solving the difficulties of recruitment at a time when the British navy was crucial to national trade and power. The 'Three Letters' was one of many pamphlet Hanway authored seeking support for his various causes. The Marine Society, now based in Lambeth, is still active in training for careers at sea.

Etching, sheet 380 x 235mm (15 x 9¼"). Trimmed losing text. Crease; slight foxing.
Pine with ruined castle and distant mountains beyond, with a contrast between the strong foreground and faint, distant background produced by a 'stopping out' technique during the biting of the copper plate. One of seven etchings contained in John Martin's (1789-1854) first commercial publication, 'Characters of Trees' (1817). The work contained no text, being simply a series of unnumbered prints advertised as a drawing book. A preparatory drawing is in the Courtauld Institute collection. Martin (1789 - 1854) is best known for his paintings and mezzotints of biblical subjects, in which capacity his hold on the popular imagination was unparalleled in its day. In the 20th century the influence of these works has continued to be felt- Martin's mezzotint of Belshazzar's Feast was the basis of the enormous Babylon set constructed for D.W. Griffith's film 'Intolerance' (1916).
