Stipple, rich impression. Sheet 425 x 325mm (16¾ x 12¾"). Trimmed to plate, repaired tears,
A ballad seller with strip ballads, selling to two men, behind them two women with a child, and a small boy feeding a dog in the centre. This is one of thirteen plates in Wheatley's ‘Cries of London', the most famous version of a popular theme in English printmaking. The shouts and songs of the street traders advertising their wares were a part of city life and inspired a number of artists of different styles, from these idealised scenes to the more raucous caricatures drawn by Rowlandson. Francis Wheatley (1747-1801) exhibited fourteen painted ‘Cries' at the Royal Academy between 1792-5, with enough success for Colnaghi to commission some of the best engravers in England, including brothers Luigi and Niccolo Schiavonetti, Giovanni Vendramini & Thomas Gaugain to reproduce thirteen of the series in stipple. These were available as separate prints or as a set and were a great success (even abroad, as denoted by the French version of the titles), and have remained popular to this day.

Etching. Sheet 220 x 170mm (8¾ x 6¾"). Trimmed within plate on three sides.
A portrait of a man and a woman, both carrying baskets of crockery, by Thomas Orde-Powlett (1746-1807), a politician also known for his etched caricatures (mostly of Cambridge celebrities) which were published by his drawing-master, the well-known printmaker James Bretherton. The British Museum's impression has a pencil annotation 'Mrs. Hammond Printseller & D. Randal Printman at Cambridge', which they have taken as an identification. However as they have more than one Orde caricature with 'D. Randal' on the reverse it is more likely that Randal sold the print rather that is the subject. See BM 1847,0713.61 for this print and 1847,0713.60 for the other 'Randal'. Ex. Collection N. Blackburn.
