John Fleming, Lord de Tabley.
[after Sir Joshua Reynolds, James Northcote and John Simpson.]
London, Published July 1, 1829, by M. Colnaghi, 23, Cockspur Street, Charing Cross.
Very rare mezzotint. 705 x 480mm (27¾ x 19"). Several tears in the margins, one entering the inscription area, with spotting.
Full-length portrait of Sir John Fleming Leicester (1762-1827), 1st Lord de Tabley, in peer's robes. It was incomplete when Joshua Reynolds died in 1792, so it was finished by his pupil, James Northcote. According to the Tabley House Collection (owned by the University of Manchester) the painting was reworked in 1826 (a year before Leicester's death) by John Simpson. This mezzotint was engraved after Leicester had died. The engraver is unknown; the BM describes an untitled plate (1852,1116.547) with the same description, published by John Jeffryes (d.1804.),
