Sir Augustus Wall Callcott (1779-1844) Painter, student of John Hoppner although he focused on Landscapes. John Linnel was an English painter who made a good living as a fashionable portraitist, but preferred to paint landscapes. In 1837, he married the daughter of Samuel Palmer, one of his influences. He gave up portraiture in the 1840’s and moved to Redhill to devote his career to his landscapes. These paintings were highly desired and caused Linnel to amass a great deal of wealth. However, he was not favored among his colleagues and was denied membership to the Royal Academy.

Etienne Calvel, de Toulouse.
Dess au Physionotrace et gravé par Quenedey rue des petits Champs No.1284 a Paris
Etching and aquatint with large margins, platemark 130 x 90mm (5 x 3¾"). Good impression.
French author Etienne Calvel, made by Edme Quénedey (1756 - 1830), a miniature painter and engraver, who made much use of the physionotrace. This was a mechanised drawing instrument that could reproduce the outline profile of a portrait. It was invented by Gilles-Louis Chretien, who engraved Quenedey's portraits from 1787 to 1789, in 1786. Chretien and Quenedey founded a very successful portrait studio in Paris together in 1788. Between 1786 - c.1810 there were only two studios in Paris which produced a relatively small number of physionotrace engravings. Consequently very few of these intriguing portraits are preserved today. Because of their origins and the realism physionotrace portraits have, they can be seen as true photo-graphic objects and are therefore classified as a forerunner of photography.

Upon his father's death, Frederick inherited the proprietorship of Maryland, making him the sixth Lord Baltimore, and immense wealth and considerable political connections. His wealth included an income of about ten thousand pounds sterling a month, derived from collected rents and taxes, large shares of stock of the Bank of England, and his resident estate at Woodcote Park, in Surrey. It was through this wealth that enabled Frederick to live a life of high style and leisure.

Printed for H. Parker & E. Bakewell in Cornhill London.
Mezzotint. Plate: 200 x 265mm (8 x 10½"), with very large margins.
Jean (John) Calvin (1509 - 1564), theologian of the French reformation, in an oval frame, with full beard and wearing cap and fur-lined coat. Calvin was a tireless polemic and apologetic writer who generated much controversy. He also exchanged cordial and supportive letters with many reformers, including Philipp Melanchthon and Heinrich Bullinger. In addition to the Institutes, he wrote commentaries on most books of the Bible, as well as theological treatises and confessional documents. He regularly preached sermons throughout the week in Geneva. Calvin was influenced by the Augustinian tradition, which led him to expound the doctrine of predestination and the absolute sovereignty of God in salvation of the human soul from death and eternal damnation. Calvin's writing and preachings provided the seeds for the branch of theology that bears his name. The Reformed and Presbyterian churches, which look to Calvin as a chief expositor of their beliefs, have spread throughout the world. By John Faber the Elder (c.1660 - 1721), for a set of 21 plates of Protestant reformers.
