Obtuso-rectilinear.Plate 6.

[1815.]
Very rare lithograph printed on pink paper, sheet 250 x 165mm (10 x 6½"). Trimmed. Ms in pencil bottom front 'If this proof should not be thought [...] Mr. B. will again attempt ...'.
Proof impression of a plate from 'The Theory and Classification of Beauty and Deformity' (1815) by Mary Anne Schimmelpennick [née Galton] (1778-1856), author. Schimmelpennick's interests were wide, involving history, religion and aesthetics, including the study of Hebrew which resulted in her 'Biblical Fragments' (1821-2). She earned her living through literature after her husband Lambert Schimmelpennick, a Dutchman involved in the shipping trade at Bristol, fell into financial difficulties.
