TO ALL WHO INTEREST THEMSELVES IN THE IN THE STUDY OF PORTEAITURE, OR IN BiOGEAPHICAL RESEARCH THIS WORK IS MOST RESPECTFULLY BY THEIR VERY OBEDIENT, HUMBLE SERVANT, THE AUTHOR. ADDRESS ON COMPLETION, The Author regrets the length of time elapsed since the first part of this work was laid before the public. His leisure for the under- taking was limited, and hurry was a thing to be avoided. The delay has, however, been the means of more fully procuring aid from kind correspondents, the object anticipated in the Preface, and the reason for publishing at all before completion. When, some years ago, the Author, feehng the want of information in forming his own collection, was planning cbese volumes, a very dear friend, one endowed with refined and true perception in Art, and of great experience and judgment, said to him, " If you publish, everyone can know as much about the subject as you do yourself." But this the Author d'-rired, for he conceives it to be almost a duty that those who have had the opportunity of acquiring any special knowledge should liberally communicate it, and not permit it to perish with themselves. So it has much pleased him to perceive, from the intelligence exhibited by his correspondents, that his friend's advice was correct; indeed, Mr. Ho-ne and Mr. Warwick have gone further, for they not only gave new information, but each have detected instances in which the Author's own judgment had been at fault. Amongst others who have assisted are Messrs. S. Addinor'con, R B Bennett, S. Compton, J. B. C (Hong-Kong), W. M. Eaton, Mrs. A. L. Fenton, Dr. Frazer, Col. T. G. Gardiner, C. H. Hart (Phila- delphia), J. R. Joly, LL.D., W. Miot, Dr. Thornley Stoker, vValter F. Tiffin (author of "Gossip about Portraits "), Wm. H. Whitmore, Boston). vi ADDRESS ON COMPLETION. Mr. George W. Reid, keeper of the Print Room at the British Museum, has given for many years valuable encouragement and help. Professor Sidney Colvin forwarded a collation of all the prints in the Fitzwilliam Collection, in which variations from the descriptions printed appeared. As mentioned in the Preface, every attention was afforded at the Bodleian,- Hope Collection, Williams' Library, Eton, Windsor Castle, and Paris, and since then at Dresden, and by the custodians of the collections belonging to the Duke of Buccleugh and to the Marquess of Bute. Yet there still are a few blanks to fill up, and doubtless new discoveries are to be made. If favoured with accounts of such the Author will gladly circulate them, and he believes that others would be found to continue this duty, should the event alluded to at page xlviii. or other contingency, occur. Collectors will find interleaved copies useful for registering these notes, as well as for recording later prices and other memoranda, so that they shall be easy of reference. The Rev. James Granger, in 1769, concluded the first issue of his volumes with the following, which, as it has been suppressed in every subsequent edition, may be given here : " The author, who exposes this his first work to the eye of the public, with the same diffidence and awe with which he first ascended the pulpit, is, however, not without hope that it may meet with approbation. If it should, he may be thereby encouraged to exceed the usual period of our histories, and carry it down to the present reign." The Author of these volumes does not, for reasons which will be found at pages xxvi. and xli., make a similar promise ; but, should it become desirable to catalogue and describe the works of the more modern engravers in this method, and should there be anyone willing to undertake the task, he will be most happy to give every assistance in his power.

One evening, in the summer of 1882, the Author was engaged in selecting from his prints those which should be forwarded to the Autotype Company, to be produced by them as illustrations to his work. This was a task of some difficulty, for as the number of illustrations was necessarily limited, many special favourites had to be excluded. So having laid aside some, and then becoming rather perplexed, the Author leaned back in his chair to think, having his face towards the table on which the prints were lying. Shortly afterwards he began to fancy that the prints were actually commencing to move, and he observed that^they regarded him with a decided expression of displeasure, very much opposed to their usual kind glances which seemed to tell that they were grateful for the care taken of them. Then the commotion became more violent, other portraits came fluttering down from shelves- and cases around, and all were evidently animated by the feelings and ideas of the personages whom they represented. Soon, amid the excitement, some purpose became manifest, for they marshalled themselves into troops and classes, somewhat according to the arrangement of the excellent and worthy Granger ; then one of these bodies, consisting of military and naval officers, amongst them ]\Iarlborough, Prince Eugene, Wolfe, Rooke, Shovel, Anson, and Nelson, advanced to the Author, and with a curious out-of- the- world voice, somewhat like that of a telephone, addressed him thus : — "We have rendered services to England, but for which she would not have attained to or held the position she occupies, and from which all the generations of her people derive benefit. During life we caused our likenesses to be painted and engraved, so that all might then know our appearance, and that after death it might not be forgotten what manner of men we were. You have now EXTRAORDINARY NARRATIVE. the Opportunity of carrying- out our wishes by making public the copies of the likenesses which you possess. We admit that you have pleased us by the eagerness with which you sought for our effigies, and the trouble you took to describe them. But no description can possibly convey the clear idea which the actual image does, and we think that many might enjoy beholding the latter who would not care about reading the former. There now appears to be no difficulty in making our features familiar to all, and we think that this ought to be done." These, when they passed on, were succeeded by groups of divines, amongst them Sancroft, Tillotson, Baxter, Sacheverell, and Burnet ; of lawyers, amongst them, Hale, Camden, Mansfield, Thurlow, and Erskine ; of authors and philosophers, amongst them Milton, Dryden, Prior, Newton, Locke, Halley, and Swift, and all spoke much to the same effect as the first. Then slowly and gently stepped forward a number of ladies, many very handsome, their looks soft, their manner languid, their personal charms very partially veiled by thin and loose robes, and, as if it was too much trouble for them to speak, they mur- mured, *' Surely the people of Queen Victoria's reign would wish to see us." Suddenly from amongst the portraits laid aside there darted to the front an exquisitely bright and sunny girl, all life and animation, and she, in a quick, decided way, said to the Author : " In the days of the merry monarch, as you must be well aware, nobody paid much attention to any of these^ladies when I was present and since that time my fame and celebrity have gone on continually increasing ; now, without objecting in the slightest degree to a single one of these beauties being made better known to your generation, I cannot but think it perfectly monstrous that you should only have given a single one of my portraits, when you might have published several ; also, as they are all valuable and scarce they would be certain to be prized by the collectors for whom you are writing." Next came up a curiously mixed assemblage, which turned out to be artists, musicians, and actors ; amongst them were Lely, Hogarth, and Reynolds; Corelli, Senesino, Farinelli, Buononcini, Beard, Leveridge, Arne, and Pepusch ; Betterton, Barry, Shuter, Quin, Kemble, Miss Farren, Mrs. Hartley, Mrs. Siddons, and Nan Catley. Again, from the portraits laid aside, a lady separated herself, and walking gracefully to the head of the group, said : " j\lr. Author^ it happens to be well_known to us that at no time EXTRAORDINARY NARRATIVE. in the history of the country have painting, music, and the drama been more popular or more highly esteemed than in yours, and yet you have omitted to reproduce the likenesses of most of the celebrated professors of these arts, and you surely might have given several theatrical illustrations showing how we looked and how we acted, sometimes in plays still holding a place on the boards ; and these would have taken well, for there are a great number of collectors who eagerly treasure up every scrap and vestige connected with the stage. Perhaps, too, people might have liked to see other portraits of myself; yet about this I think little, for self was not my object in life ; but really you might have pleased the public by giving several of the likenesses of those charming Gunnings, whom I befriended in their young days, and (with a winning glance, which completely finished the susceptible author), remember, sir, we are your own countrywomen." Another set of ladies next came forward : at first glance they seemed to be of the present day, but closer examination showed that they belonged to times of a hundred years ago. They said : " We, like all our sex, are pleased by being looked at and admired by everyone, and we are informed that our portraits deserve especial attention, as having been painted by the greatest masters that England has ever produced, yet you have only published two or three. J\Iore, surely, might have been given, if only for the infor- mation of the milliners of your time, who try to copy every detail of our dress." All these proceedings were watched, evidently with approval, by numerous kings, queens, and other exalted personages, whose dignity, it was clear, was the only obstacle to their directly joining in them. Then the Author rose, bowed profoundly, and placing his hand on his heart, said : *' j\lay it please your Majesties, your Excellen- cies, your Graces, your Lordships, your Ladyships, Mistress Gwin, dear Mistress Woffington, Ladies, Reverend Sirs, and Gentlemen, you will not, I trust, be still further displeased with me for frankly stating that my only object in the selection you refer to was to interest those who kindly purchased my book, and to give some idea of Mezzotinto Portraits of different periods and in different styles. As a general rule, people who have passed av.'ay from this world are not supposed again to take a part in its affairs, and it did not occur t3 me that you would interfere, or, indeed, that you had a voice in the matter at all. But, as you EXTRAORDINARY NARRATIVE. have spoken, we may calmly discuss the question, and it does seem to me that there is considerable force in your arguments, only about one in fifty were selected, and personally I should have liked to extend at least to one in ten, and to have gratified those who wished for several different portraits of the same person. The power, however, really does not rest with me, but with the great educated public ; for it would be useless and foolish to prepare for them what they would not buy or care about. As you know, the vast mass of the people are wholly absorbed in the cares and pleasures of their present existence, few of them have either the leisure or the inclination for contemplating the wonderful works of the Creator or for studying the history, the literature, the art of their fellow-men. Of these few, too, but a very small number, possess or cultivate the true feeling for portraits : as an instance of this, when the Daniel prints were on view, a gentle- man who considered himself and was considered by all who knew him a consummate judge of art, took up the portrait of Joe Miller (Autotype No. 66), and after looking at it for a while placed it back, deliberately observing, ' Well, I can see nothing in that. Yet, to a sympathetic mind what a train of thought it would suggest, what memories of quaint jokes, more often repeated than acknowledged, it would recall, under the mask of the actors' part what a benevolence would appear in the face, what an expression of facetious, kindly humour would disclose itself in the corners of the eyes, what drollery would be perceived to lurk in the lips, what force in the expanded nostril ; and then one would go on to think of the part he was acting, and if he could have been an Irishman in reality, for undoubtedly the face is Irish (nonetheless so, because a certain slight melancholy pervades it), and the picture was painted by an Irish artist ; then one might consider whose fault is it that thorough union has not yet taken place between the kingdoms, and how it is that Teagues' successors still echo his cry of ' give,' and still, like him, hold out their hand for more. " Some allusion has elsewhere been made (Preface, page xi.) to the bearing which the character expressed in a portrait might possibly have on the sifting of truth from falsehood in biography and history; as instances, no one who contemplated their portraits could for a moment think Judge Jefferies to have been the monster of cruelty and injustice that party prejudice has represented him, or that ^lary Godwin was a vicious and depraved woman ; again, the powerful| sagacity in Walpole's portrait, and the keen intellect EXTRAORDINARY NARRATIVE. Struggling with a sickly body in that of Pope, confirm the charac- ters we have received of them. " Now it discoveries are to be made in this direction, it must be by those who have the true feeling alluded to ; there is not any reason for supposing it to be limited to those only who have taste and opportunity for collecting scarce and expensive original prints, but it is clear that it never can be elicited in any others, if they cannot see and examine the portraits. This difficulty is now re- moved through the amazing discoveries of photogravure and auto- type, by which the illustrations of these volumes are taken. These, and kindred processes reproduce the originals with an accuracy which bears the closest scrutiny of the magnifying-glass, and indeed improves on the most minute examination. These repro- ductions, too, can be had in any required number, and at com- paratively small cost, and so portraits may be brought within reach of all, affording means to everyone for cultivating and developing their faculty for physiognomical research.* " To the ladies who spoke last I would observe that it is quite true that their portraits are now universally admired and coveted, and command high prices. With those who are not connoisseurs, this, however, may be to some extent a temporary following of an exist- ing fashion ; with real connoisseurs the prints must ever be esteemed, but not so as to undervalue works of other periods, or other works * Although sets of engraved portraits (the most remarkable of which was that known as Houbraken's Heads) had been previously pubhshed in this country from time to time, it was not until after the Granger enthusiasm had well set in that it seems to have occurred to anyone that reproductions or copies of highly valued prints would be desirable. Then, in 1793, Richardson the printseller, commenced the issue of copies of scarce Granger por- traits in numbers (4 plates in each) to accompany a then intended repubhcation of the Biographical Historj'. There were 308 prints of the series pubhshed, octavo size, price j^rS iSs. The stock remaining at his sale in 1814 (consisting of the plates and nearly 30,000 prints) brought ;f 700). When Baynes of Paternoster-row, did publish the new edition of Granger's Biographical History in 1824, these prints were reissued as illustrations thereto at a reduced price. It is beheved that both pubhshers made well of their ventures, but neither their prints nor those of a supplement afterwards pubhshed by Rodd cau be truly considered reproduc- tions. The inscriptions, the style of engraving, the expression of character, are often quite different — in some cases, indeed, they are mere sketches of the original prints. Contrast, then, with these the true and faithful photographic copies, with every detail accurately brought out Indeed in the case of some old Une engravings, when the paper has been precisely imitated and when the size is the same, it is said, and the author can well beUeve it, to be absolutely necessaiy to place a mark upon the copy lest it should be, even to connoisseurs, entirely undistinguishable from the original. In the case of mezzotinto prints it is the early ones which are most successfully photographed, arising probably from the fact that the grounds are less worked upon. EXTRAORDINARY NARRATIVE. of this period ; indeed it is not improbable that future collectors will regard a proof of one of Reynolds' or Romney's ladies as compared with a Von Siegen, or a iSherwin, much in the way a booklover now regards a Baskerville, as compared with a Caxton, " It was not, however, for any reason of this kind that so few of these prints were selected for autotyping, but because the great reduction of scale which would be necessary to fit them for illustra- tions to this work, detracts from their artistic effect, except when examined through a glass. Compare for instance Nos. 112, 118, 122, which are nearly as large as the originals, with No. 8, which is much reduced, and the superiority of the first in the rendering of the originals will be evident. Even making them the double size does not quite get rid of the difficulty, and these too have to be creased in the middle, which is not desirable. " But manifestly the best and most eff"ectual way for you all to obtain your wish, is, that, as you can do so, you will address yourselves to others as you have done to me ; you will certainly at once gain attention, and perhaps enlist in your service those who have ample power to accomplish what you desire. It seems, too, as if the present were an appropriate time for making such an effort ; the public are now well supporting the Arundel and other associations of the kind ; although when, forty years ago, the late G. P. Harding started his Granger Society, his attempt was scarcely known beyond his immediate circle, and proved an utter failure. If only the public demand it, there seems no insuperable obstacle to their obtaining the reproduction of a considerable number of your portraits : at this very time M. Eugene Dutuit has nearly com- pleted, by the heliogravure mode, fac-similes of the entire number of Rembrandt's etchings, at a price less than the average cost of a single one of the originals, and only a small fraction of the amount which his great rarities have lately realised. The public may also bear in mind that although the effect of an increase of demand for your original portraits would be to raise the price, because the sup- ply is limited, yet the reverse holds good in the case of the reproduc- tion, for the greater the number required the lower the price will be. '•' These reproductions are satisfactory in an artistic sense also. No photographic process is capable of truly representing the varia- tions of colours in nature or in paintings, nor can it faithfully image the proportions of solid bodies at different distances from the camera. But the case is wholly altered when the photographic process is applied to engravings, all the varieties of light and shade, EXTRAORDINARY NARRATIVE. the delicate touches of the etching needle, the finest linos or other mode of work can every one be then beautifully brought out and exhibited. " It is peculiarly valuable from the point of view now under con- sideration, that the veritable expression of the portraits can thus be caught and fixed. In pictures how often we see this very essence of the artist's genius obliterated by ignorant cleaning, or destroyed by the still worse and more deceitful practice of repainting. In engravings, in just a parallel manner, the plate becomes worn out or is retouched, and so in most instances, its value as a portrait is lost. But the photographic reproduction of an engraving in its early state gives the precise and accurate rendering which the engraver took from the picture, after such an examination as it would receive at no other hands. " Thus it may be that this venture of Illustrations to British Mezzotinto Portraits might prove the first step of a distinct advance to a fuller knowledge of Portrait Art. For a long series of years those engaged in the publishing business have been in the habit of producing books with, as they often phrase it, 'illustrations beautifully engraved on steel.' It need scarcely be observed that there is not the slightest wish to disparage this class of prints ; on the contrary, it is most satisfactory to see that a demand for them exists, and that memoirs of Walpole, Selwyn, and many others are the more enjoyed by their readers when the likenesses of persons re- ferred to are placed amongst the pages ; neither is there any desire to curtail the profits of the publishers ; on the contrary, there is probably no class in the community so deserving of ample and substantial reward as those who aid in the grand work of diffusing information and knowledge. Least of all is it intended to convey the idea that there is any falling off in talent amongst the engra- vers of the present time from that amongst those of the past; take engravings on wood for example, and it will be apparent that recent productions more than hold their own and even compare advantageously with earlier ones, so it may be fairly inferred that such would have been the case with engravers on metal, had not, owing to the fact that publishers required such large numbers of impressions from the plate, the metals themselves been changed, and steel substituted for copper. " But if, on full examination of these ideas by those most com- petent to judge of them, it should turn out that their adoption would not be detrimental to engravers or publishers, and would EXTRAORDINARY NARRATIVE. be of vast advantage in elevating public taste, why should any practice be persisted in, if it be possible to replace it by something clearly better ? " Perhaps, therefore, at some not very distant period, Engraving may break through and discard for ever her fetters of steel, and revert to that nobler material, by the use of which she has achieved so much in days gone by ; will again supply the somewhat attenu- ated portfolios of the collector of really choice specimens, with works, each limited in number, but each, like their predecessors ot the same description, full of tone and warmth, and life and beauty, and increasing in value year by year ; and will then, as an elder would a younger sister, take by the hand that lately born and wonderful Photography, who, if left unguided, may so easily go wrong, as the millions of distorted images of humanity so universally met with sufficiently attest, but who, if led in the right direction, can multiply by thousands and thousands exquisite images, which, but for her could only be known to a few, and so disperse everywhere, and carry on to future times a development of human art fulfilling its highest function — the embodiment and representation of Truth, which is Divine." The Author then sat down, and, looking towards the prints again, found them in a state of perfect quietude, and without the slightest sign of ever having been disturbed. It then occurred to him that he might have dropped asleep and dreamt all the fore- going, but as this can only be a supposition, not perhaps resting on any sound basis, he cannot adopt it, but conceives himself bound to the departed great ones, respectfully to lay ihe account of the circumstance before his readers, fully trusting to their dis- cretion and judgment for bringing them to the right conclusion in the matter. PREFACE More than two centuries have elapsed since the introduction into this country of the then newly-invented method of Mezzotinto Engrav- ing. From that time it was rapidly developed here, and was practised to an extent and with a skill and success not attained to elsewhere so that it may justly be denominated our National Art. In accordance with the decided English taste in painting, its pro- ductions are for the most part portraits, to which, indeed, no other style of engraving is so well suited ; for, although not rendering out- lines with the accuracy of the line method, it is unequalled in its power of giving softness to the carnations, delicate distinctions of textures, the very touches of the painter's brush, and general richness and brilliancy of tone with consequent life-like effect. Portraits, whether paintings or engravings, call forth the utmost resources of the ablest Artists, and portraiture is even considered by many to be the highest branch of Art. It has been preferred to land- scape, because the latter may leave not a trace in the memory ; and to so-called historical painting, as this is generally false in costume grouping, or attitudes (which the painter, if not present, cannot possibly dehneate as they actually were), and would therefore be more justly entitled fabulous painting ; but a real portrait is truth itself. Those about to be described can be thus commended, for they are almost always contemporary, and have had the greatest care bestowed upon them by both painter and engraver, in order to produce the most striking resemblance of their patrons. British Mezzotinto Portraits, therefore, when early in impression and well preserved, are deservedly valued by competent judges, and appreciated by judicious collectors, and not the less that, from the viii Preface. comparatively slight work on the copper yielding so few good impres- sions, they are, as a class of prints, probably the rarest of all. The system of their arrangement should be that most suitable for studying them in their two aspects, which may be called His- torical and Artistic. Three different modes suggest themselves, viz., by the Painters ; by the Personages ; by the Engravers. Portrait Painters have been numerous, and their names, with few exceptions, are not generally familiar ; an arrangement, by them, therefore, would be confusing ; and, indeed, although sometimes adopted by Continental collectors, it may be said not to have been attempted here except in the case of prints after Reynolds : these are, comparatively, but a small portion of the number about to be described, and a collection limited to them may, doubtless, include some choice specimens, but would exclude very many excellent and desirable works, nor would it be capable of illustrating the progress of the Art. Arrangement by the Personages has been adopted by Granger, in his well-known work ; and, until lately, generally followed here. Portraits, without doubt, excite a desire to know about the lives and actions of those whom they represent ; and, therefore, there was reason for Grangrer's stating- in his Preface that " a methodical col- lection of engraved heads will serve as a visible representation of past events, and become a kind of speaking chronicle, will delight the eye, recreate the mind, impress the imagination, fix the memory, and thereby yield no small assistance to the judgment." He divided the portraits into periods and classes, having probably taken the idea from the Pepysian collection of heads at Magdalen College, Cam- bridge, which are placed by "Soldiers" "Sailors," and so forth. It may be noted that these are truly called " heads," for"whoever pasted them into the volumes, clipped off the inscriptions and outer portion of the engraving, leaving them practically valueless, and this, when Mariette and other true connoisseurs were proving that prints kept with care would retain, better and longer than any other production of the Fine Arts, their pristine brilliancy and freshness. One defect of this plan is, that most of the portraits may be placed in more than one period, and many in more than one class ; therefore, history is rather confused than clearly taught, and it is besides almost always necessary to consult the Index to find any particular person ; even at the time, in 1771, Baron Heineken wrote, " Les amateurs feront bien, suivant mon sentiment de ranger les estampes Angloises d' apres les graveurs" (Idee generale, p. 209). Let all lovers of Art^ however, respect the worthy Granger's memory, who, without having any conception himself of what Art was. Preface. ix yet rendered it a most essential service ; for, by his no^el and in- teresting book, he roused the attention of those educated and intelli- gent persons, called in his day "the curious," many of them becam^i collectors, and preserved thousands of prints which would otherwise have been totally lost. The direction taken by the taste thus called forth was that of illustrating Granger's own and other works with engraved portraits ; it was carried to too great lengths, rare books being often made im- perfect by having portraits cut out to paste in the blank leaves of unwieldy volumes, and the endeavour of rival collectors to outdo and outbid each other at last degenerating into a kind of mania, the re- action from which caused the next generation to overlook the real utility of the taste, and to unduly neglect this class of prints. Most of these collections have been since cut up and dispersed, whereby the cost of mounting and binding, which was often done at great expense, was wholly thrown away ; and the valuable prints might probably have sold at higher prices if not mixed up with uninte- resting and worthless ones. The most splendid collection of this kind ever made will probably long so remain — it is the illustrated Clarendon and Burnet, formed by Mr. Sutherland, extended by his w^dow (who is said to have objected during his Ufe to the pursuit), and now preserved in the Bodleian. Of this a carefully compiled and finely printed catalogue was pub- lished, and a noted copy, w^hich is w'ith the collection, serves as an Index to it. In 1 793, appeared the work of Bromley, which adheres to Granger's principle of periods and classes, but makes several alterations in them. It was probably written in the main by Horace Walpole, who often lamented the diffuseness of Granger, and, doubtless, thought he could do it much better himself. It is a useful catalogue of names of portraits, but gives scarcely any detailed information about the prints. Ten years afterwards Bartsch commenced the publication of his Peintre-Graveur : he minutely described the prints, and classed them by their Engravers. This method has been followed by Dumesnil, and all similarly accurate writers, and is now generally accepted as the best. It is obviously the natural one, and is analogous to pictures by their painters, and books by their authors. Collections thus arranged avoid the incongruous jumbling together of prints as different as possible in style and period of art, as also in authenticity and value ; they quickly and surely educate the eye, and X Preface. form and d-^ect the judgment and taste, especially if so complete as to contp-'' impressions from the plate in ALL THE STATES. Except Mr. Sutherland, collectors have rested satisfied with the best impression they could obtain, and did not endeavour to procure these variations ; but as an instance of the use of a knowledge of them, at Palmer's sale, in 1868, a " first state " of Rembrandt's "Hundred Guilder Piece" brought ;^i,ioo; a "second state," ;{^2 70 ; another, less brilliant, "second state," ;^i5o; a " third state," 28 shillings. Equally remarkable, and for the most part hitherto wholly un- noticed, are those of the Mezzotinto Portraits about to be treated of. As an example, a photo-engraving of impressions from two different " states " of the same plate has been prefixed to this work. It may be objected to the arrangement of portraits by their en- gravers, that prints of the same person, by different engravers, would not be placed together ; this is so, and consequently a reference to the general Index to be placed at the end of this work, will sometimes be required ; on the other hand, having usually the name of the engraver and personage upon them, prints under this, but under no other method, carry their own direct reference to the text. Bartsch arranged the Engravers in his work by the schools of Holland, Germany and Italy ; Dumesnil, who described only the French school, has placed the Engravers chronologically. No method of this kind is practicable without certain fixed rules ; for instance, whether the date of an Engraver is to be the time of his birth, or of his death. Dumesnil adopts the former. Granger the latter ; much may be said on both sides, yet the arrangement by one rule is quite different from that by the other. Even if rules were settled, making chronology the basis of classification causes much confusion in refer- ring to the work for information, and it would be impossible to carry it on to the prints themselves, simply for the reason that a great number of them bear no date at all. The alphabetical system is, therefore, much to be preferred, and, for the prints, the arrangement by En- gravers will be found at least as chronological as Granger's periods. The relative Art merits of Painting and Engraving need not be discussed here, and the question may be left as it was when Evelyn wrote to Pepys that "some Effigies are so well done to the life that they maybe put in competition with the best paintings." Art may be appreciated and enjoyed equally well, either by looking at the pictures displayed on the walls of spacious galleries, or by examination of port- folios of prints in the quiet retirement of the private room. Engravings too, are an aid to the study of Pictures, and the descrip- tions will often be found highly useful for identification. In cata- Preface. xi logues of portrait exhibitions, and in collections, many instances occur of personages or painters being unknown to or misnamed by the owner of the engraved picture, which might have been correctly ascer- tained from the print. Horace Walpole accuses Granger of " drowning his taste for prints in the ocean of biography ;" and the truth of the statement must be admitted. It is hoped that the Notes will, nevertheless, not be deemed superfluous : they are intended merely as aids to recollection, are as concise as possible, and the temptation to launch into anecdote has been almost completely resisted. Dates are plentifully given, for they cannot be carried at one's fingers ends, and they are important, often throwing light on the history of the print, and are also the best guide for obtaining further information about the personage from amongst contemporary records. It is scarcely probable that Physiognomy will ever come to be an exact science to such an extent as to enable the truth of History to be determined by the character of the face of a portrait ; yet it is very interesting, and may be not a little instructive to compare the appear- ance and expression of such with the idea formed in the mind by study- ing particulars related of the conduct of the individuals, the events of their lives, and the opinions of others about them. In many instances, too, contemporary writers allude to special traits of features or person which may be found again recorded by the portraits, thus proving their authenticity. The prices will be found to indicate the number and enthusiasm of the collectors of the time. Of late, after a lengthened period of dulness, attention has been directed, as shown by a marked increase of value, to the prints after Reynolds, who had procured his works to be extensively and well engraved, sagaciously foreseeing, as he is stated to have said, that these mezzotinto prints would preserve his fame when his pictures had faded from their canvas. It can- hardly, too, be doubted but that this revival of good taste will be extended to the works of his contemporaries, engraved by the same hands, and often of exquisite beauty, and also to those earlier and still scarcer prints, of such interest to the connoisseur, which were so eagerly sought for and so highly prized by the great collectors of byegone days. Prints contained in the British Museum are marked " Brit : Mus. ;" in the Sutherland Collection " Suth : Coll. ;" for the information of those who may desire to inspect them. The number in the Museum is continually increasing, and as yet no catalogue of them has been published — a print, therefore may, possibly, be there, although not so marked. Xll Preface. The author begs to acknowledge the great attention and assistance which he has received from the authorities and custodians at the British Museum, and at South Kensington, the Bodleian, Hope Collec- tion, Williams' Library, Eton, Biblioth^que (Paris), Windsor Castle, also from many private collectors. He defers more particular mention to the conclusion, anticipating that the number of those to whom he shall have been indebted will then be still larger. This work, which is in some sort, perhaps, a record of England's title to a special position of honour in the practice of the Fine Arts, ought to be as complete and accurate as possible. Communications of additions and corrections will therefore much gratify the author ; some ascertained during the printing of the present Part, are appended to it, and references to all will be given in the Index. St. Helen's, Bray, Co. Wicklow, November, 1877. NOTES FOE THE EEADER. This work is intended to describe all Mezzotinto Portraits published in England, Ireland, and Scotland, down to the early part of the present century ; not including those by Engravers, such as S. W. Reynolds, and Charles Turner, whose principal works were produced at a more modern date. Its scope is different to that of Bromley, who professes to catalogue the portraits of all persons who have resided in, or visited England, down to the date of his book, in whatever style or by whatever hands they may have been engraved. A few prints, within the plan of this work, have not been met with by the author, and cannot consequently be described ; in such cases references are given to the page in Bromley, or any other book in which they may be named. Bromley may have inserted some of them in error, and he gives several as different plates, which are in reality only different " states " of the same plate, and will be thus described. A few prints, presumably not known to Bromley, have been met with ; these, if coming within the scope and period of his work, are noted as " not mentioned by Bromley." There may be discoveries even yet of prints not hitherto known, and it is probable that prints have existed of which every impression taken has since perished. Fine, scarce, and similar epithets, constantly applied to these prints in sales, catalogues, and elsewhere^ are not used in this work ; not that the prints are not so, but because the terms are indefinite. "Fine," for instance, may allude to the subject, the workmanship, the impression, or the preservation of a print ; to the last it is properly applicable, but each connoisseur should have his own opinion on the two first, and the " state," if given, would decide the third point. "Scarce," too, conveys no idea of the number in existence, and the word xiv Notes for the Reader. " unique " sometimes met with is simply absurd ; for unless it can be proved that only one was taken, or that all taken except one were destroyed, it cannot be certain that there are not other impressions : to give some notion of rarity, however, in a few cases the number met with in examining collections and catalogues for this work is given as "known." A vivid idea as to this could be practically arrived at by any one who would make a list of such prints as he may fancy to have, and then try how many of them can be obtained in the print-shops. Arrangement is, in the first instance, by the names of the Engravers ; these are usually stated on the print; if without this state- ment, those bearing the address or "excudit" of, or which may be reasonably attributed to a known engraver, are placed in his works, others at the end of the known engravers under the head of " En- graver not ascertained." Prints with the names A : Browne, H : Gascar, I : Lloyd, D : Loggan, P : Tempest, R : Tompson, are placed by them, although it be not certain that they were engravers at all. In the second instance, by the distinctive title, name, or surname of the personage represented, as given on the first finished " state ;" if not so given, the personage, if known, is placed accordingly, the name being within brackets, if not known, at the end of the engravers works in the order of the painters or designers. Both classes of names are placed in alphabetical order ; compound names by the first letter of the prefix, in this differing from many writers on art, but in accordance with Redgrave and the Post Office Directory. The names of the engravers are placed at the head of each page, and for further facility of reference, a number is placed, before each portrait or set of portraits of each engraver ; these numbers, with the name by which the personage is alphabetically classed, are printed in heavy letter. Names of the painters follow in small capitals ; these, when known, but not expressed on the print, have brackets. When after " states," bear different names of engravers, or if otherwise thought necessary, cross references are given in the text ; when they bear different names or titles of the same personage, references thereto are given in the Index only. Authors and Works principally consulted are as follows, the first word being that by which they are referred to in the text. Dates of Publication of Edition referred to. Allibone.

Different prints of the same persons being sometimes arranged in different places, the note is usually given to the first original print, and subse- quent ones have a reference to its page ; copies have references to the engraver of the original. In variations to a different personage, the biography of the after state is not given except the person is mentioned nowhere else in the work. A short article is placed at the commencement of each engraver's works containing a few observations on them, and stating what has been ascertained of the artist's life. These biographical details are, in most cases, but meagrre ; even the date of death is often not known. This scantiness of information may have been the result of the fancy that engraving was merely mechanical, and that engravers were very unimportant people and should not, indeed, be ranked with Artists at all : their exclusion for nearly a century from the full honours of our own Royal Academy being an instance of the prevalence of such an idea in this country. Copy is a term correctly applied to an engraving imitated from another engraving, or to a painting imitated from another painting ; but it is not correct, as justly argued by Joubert and others, to state that an engraving from a picture is a copy of that picture (probably the expression most nearly suitable would be a translation) ; still, inaccu- rate writers frequently so designate engravings, although it might just as well be said that the pictures were copies of the sitters, or models, or landscapes imitated by them. A picture may be engraved from by different hands, and the prints would then be similar to, but not copies of, each other ; prints which are copies are generally in reverse of the originals, as the engraver makes no drawing, which is necessary when engraving from a picture.

Dia- meter of Circle. When a separate plate is used, as is sometimes the case, for the inscription, the H. only is given unless the W. differs from that of the subject platemark. From the contraction of the paper, the platemark generally measures somewhat less than the plate itself, and occasionally one im- pression may slightly vary in size from another from the same plate in consequence of having been strained or laid down. Handing will be most readily understood by looking in a glass, when every portion of the image will be " handed" in the direction opposite to that of the real person ; so when a spectator looks at a portrait, the terms right and left applied to the print mean the right and left hand of the spectator, but if the terms be applied to the person represented in the print, they will be the opposite, thus the " right hand of the personage holding a sword," would be on the Notes for the Reader. xix spectator's left of the print. Or let a print be turned towards a light, and looked through from the back, it will appear a "reverse," and vice versa. The copper-plates Avere generally handed the same way as the picture from which they were taken, but the prints from these would be the other way, consequently, when hands are introduced, their action in the print is sometimes inappropriate. The earlier engravers used to take " reverses " to remedy this, the later ones to make their drawings not directly from the picture but from its reflection. Inscriptions, or the lettering engraved on the plate, usually give the names of the painter, engraver, personage, and publisher, and sometimes curious and authentic information about History, Biography, or Genealogy ; they are in various kinds, sizes, and shapes of letter, sometimes contracted, sometimes with words disjoined, sometimes with mistakes of spelling, all which could not be imitated except by facsimiles ; they are, therefore, given in a uniform italic type, being letter for letter, mistakes and all, as on the prints, and at full leno-th • in a very few instances, however, of long, uninteresting verses and matter, the first and last words only are given with a line between them. Margin is the blank paper outside the " platemark ;" curiously enough Dumesnil, in the " Avertissement " to his work, defines " marge " as being at the bottom between the subject and the plate- mark, but this should be termed the " inscription space." Some collectors consider that broad margins enhance the value of prints, and certainly they are not often met with. One reason of this was, that the English collectors were accustomed to cut off the margins to prevent the print from the creasing caused by contraction of the outside paper from drying after the printing ; one of them, Mr. Gulston, is said to have given his young children the privilege of crawling under his table to pick up the trimmings of the Mezzotinto prints. When the margin has been cut off close along the platemark, the print is still perfect, but if the cutting goes within that mark the print is styled " clipped." The copper-plates themselves were often cut down in consequence of wearing at the edge, or other reasons \ these are styled "cut plates," and mark a variation of " state." The utility of giving measurements, instead of describing prints as folio, quarto, sheet, &c., is thus apparent. In a few instances no impres- sion of a print has hitherto been met with showing the platemark perfect all round, the dimensions, thus uncertain, are then left blank. XX Notes for the Reader. Modem impressions are those taken from plates which were not broken up or destroyed, but were kept in stock by printsellers and furbished up to give impressions to supply the indiscriminate demand ' for portraits which set in after the publication of Granger's book. Many of the plates after Reynolds and others are thus in existence at the present time ; the impressions from them in most cases vary from pale shadows to black daubs, and are almost entirely devoid of artistic beauty or value ; they are usually on thick, bad paper, although sometimes old paper has been procured, it is to be feared, for the purpose of deceiving the unwary collector ; and it is this deception which is so highly reprehensible, for there is nothing wrong in selling modern impressions, as such, and, as such too, buyers of them will be found ; but palming them off as original impressions is simple cheat- ing, and the practice is calculated to destroy the confidence which should exist between collectors and dealers, and which many of the latter so thoroughly deserve. Plate means the metal wrought upon by the engraver, and from which impressions or prints are struck off ; platemark is the depression in the paper of the prints at edges of plate, caused by the force of the press when striking off. Copper, which allows of the utmost freedom of handling and delicacy of execution, was used for all the plates about to be described; but, of later years, steel, which yields a much greater number of impressions without wearing down, was introduced, and has now almost entirely supplanted the copper ; machines too have been brought into use for working the grounds on the harder surface. It will be at once apparent, however, on comparing the old prints from copper with the new ones from steel, that the latter are immeasurably inferior in high and true artistic quality. Plates, not having any address or publication line, are sometimes called "private," being presumed to have been engraved not for sale, but for presentation, and to be therefore particularly scarce ; this distinction, however^ is not to be depended upon, and the term has therefore not been used in this work. Prints and Proofs being words often somewhat vaguely used, it may be well to explain that the engraver was accustomed, when working at the plate, to take impressions from time to time which are called " progress proofs," and are of interest as showing his method of work. When the plate was completed, the lettered inscription was engraved generally by another hand ; impressions taken before this are called "finished proofs, '^ those after it " prints," the latter word. Notes for the Reader. xxi being, of course, in one sense, applicable to all impressions. There can, evidently, be little difference as to earliness of impression be- tween the last proofs and the first prints, but there is a difference in value, because, the lettering marking a change of " state " of the plate, the earliness of the former is assured. When this became a test of value, as it did generally towards the end of the first half of the last century, tricks were used to counterfeit proofs, as by erasing the lettering from the plate, or by "stopping it out," that is placing paper over it when going through the press ; such are termed " false" proofs. To check this dishonesty, engravers, towards the end of the century, were in the habit of scratching, sometimes called etching, lettering on their plates^ which, when the desired number of proofs was taken, was burnished off, and the finished lettering engraved upon the plate ; intending by this means, tantamount to the " remark " of the engravers of recent times, that the genuine proofs might be readily discriminated. When the work on the plate became worn down, which soon occurred with mezzotinto engraving, it was " retouched," that is, re- worked in the parts giving too faint impressions, to try to restore their original brilliancy ; the result is sometimes tolerable if done by a master hand, but in most instances it destroys the harmony of the lights and shades and the general effect. Portions of the work and inscriptions were often erased and others substituted, in some instances being altered to such an extent that it is very difficult to recognise the original plate at all, especially when the personage is different ; in other cases the inscription is merely varied to denote some change of title of personage ; or alteration of address of the publisher ; or transfer of the plate, perhaps, from the engraver to a printseller solicitous for gain not art ; some of the latter, too, seeing that this told tales too plainly, made no alteration, but, when a plate came into their hands, struck off, in the most unscrupulous manner, worn- out impressions bearing the original inscription. Instead, therefore, of describing them as " prints and proofs," all these changes, so far as have been met with, are noted as variations of "state." Reverses, or counterproofs, are impressions taken not directly from the plate but from other impressions struck off on non-absorbent paper, being " handed," therefore, the same way as the plate but the oppo- site to the prints ; they have no platemark. The practice of taking these was very general with the school of Rubens, and extended from them to the earlier English Mezzotinto xxii Notes for the Reader. engravers ; great variation of effect is sometimes produced by it ; but these reverses are always fainter and of less mercantile value than the prints direct from the copper. State of the plate is denoted by successive Roman numerals to each variation. Connoisseurs will, no doubt, from time to time, meet with variations not described ; but the rank as to earliness of impres- sion, may, in nearly all cases, be readily known from comparing with the analogous alterations of other plates by the same engraver. As the differences of " state " in this class of prints are generally considerable and well defined, it is not likely that later states w^ould be altered by dishonest hands to counterfeit earlier ones ; there are instances, however, of this having been done, with wonderful ingenuity too, in slight changes of other classes of prints, especially painter's etchings. Much of the foregoing will, to the experienced collector, appear unnecessary detail ; but, if he remembers that several of these matters used to puzzle himself when he began to collect, he will excuse the author for endeavouring to make them clear to those commencing the pursuit. Some further hints will be found in the " Print Collector," a small volume written by the eminent connoisseur, Joseph Maberly, and published in 1844. INTRODUCTION. ON ENGRAVING IN MEZZOTINTO. Section I. — Practice of the Art. The instruments used in mezzotinto engraving consist of the cradle or rocking-tool, the scraper, the roulette and the burnisher. CRADLES. Front View, Smaller Size. ROULETTES. xxiv INTRODUCTION. The plates intended for engraving should be of the best copper, very malleable and ductile, yet firm and capable of resisting to some de- gree of hardness if without shortness of grain or brittleness ; free from veins, specks, or dissimilarparts, and of equal texture throughout. They must be well forged and hammered when cold, then ground, polished, and burnished. Mezzotint© is executed by covering the surface of the plate with lines, sunk in it close to each other, in different directions ; so that, if printed from, it would give a black impression or ground from the whole ; and then taking away or diminishing the effect of this ground by scraping off, according to the necessary expression of any given de- sign, parts of these lines so as to bring the plate to a condition similar to that which would have resulted from the lines being cut, in the usual manner of other engraving, in those places where they were wanting to express the shades or darker parts of the design. In effect, line engraving is the production of the shades on a ground uniformly light; mezzotinto engraving is the production of the lights on a ground uniformly dark. Earlom (and in this most succeeding engravers have followed him) laid in the outline of the subject with a strong, bold etching, somewhat resembling chalk engraving, and then laid in the ground ; but the earlier artists laid in the ground first and finished the entire in pure mezzotinto. To lay the ground, the plate is divided equally by lines parallel to each other, traced out in very soft chalk, at a distance of about one- third of the length of the face of the cradle which is to be used, as only that proportion of the instrument, by reason of its form and the rounding of its corners, will take at the same time upon the copper. These lines should be marked by capital letters or strokes of the chalk. The cradle is then to be placed exactly between the first two lines and passed forward in the same direction with them, leaning upon it with steady moderate force, and rocking it from side to side, until every part of the plate between the lines is covered with a burr. This pro- cess must be then continued between the other lines, and then again between lines drawn from the other sides at right angles to these, and then again between diagonal lines drawn cornervvise at right angles to each other. The plate having undergone the action of the cradle according to the disposition of this first order of lines, a second set is to be formed having the same distances from each other as the first, but so placed as that each space will divide those already made into allcrnate two-thirds and one-third : these lines of the second order I. — PRACTICE OF THE ART. XXV rriay be marked with small letters or lesser strokes, and the same treatment of the plate repeated, extending also to the cross and diagonal lines. When this is done a third order of lines is to be made, dividing the first spaces into alternate one-third and two-thirds, and the cradle employed as before. These operations constitute what is called otie turn ; but in order to produce a very dark and uniform ground, the plate should undergo repetitions of them all, until the ground will print perfectly black, and this should be without spots or inequalities, and have in every part a soft and velvet-like look ; this uniformity being of so much con- sequence that it should be examined and tried with the greatest care before the scraping is begun, since, if it prove bad, there is no remedy, but all the labour bestowed must be given up, or, even in the hands of the most skilful, a defective work produced. When the plate is grounded, and the subject traced on to it, the work is commenced by scraping and then burnishing the highest lights, after which the next lighted parts are scraped away, and so on, proceeding gradually from light to dark, leaving for the deepest shades the ground untouched. The greatest caution should be taken not to pare away the grain too fast, in hopes of having sooner finished; for it is not easy to replace it when taken away, and except on very shining parts, there ought everywhere to remain a slight cast of it. As, however, even with the utmost attention, the grain will be taken off in some places miOre than is proper, cradles of smaller sizes, or roulettes, may be used to restore it. The foregoing is taken from the Art of Engraving by T. H. Field- ing, London, 1844, and from the source used by him, the " Handmaid to the Arts, London, 1764." Compare therewith A. Browne's Instruc- tions of 1669, given at page 107. The greater number of artists finished their plates entirely in this manner; some, however, slightly touched up with the burin or dry point, and also etched the outline of the design before the ground was laid. Examples will be found in the works of George White (page 1572), and soft ground etchings of Earlom (No. 37, page 257) are to be met with. In Vertue's manuscripts (see page 1423) occur the following obser- vations : *' Mezzotinto is done in one-fourth of the time of the burin- ator, nay, upon strict demonstration, I have seen, observed, and ex- perimented, may be done six plates to one, in the same space of time." " May be called Rasurator." It does not appear whether Vertue included in this space of time the preparation of the plate, which takes XXvi INTRODUCTION. much longer for a print in mezzotinto than one in Hne ; probably he did not. However, what is easily won is easily lost, and Gilpin says that the spirit of a mezzotinto quickly evaporates, and that the effect is wholly lost in a worn plate. He also says that more than one hun- dred good impressions cannot well be cast off from a plate ; but this, except in the case of very delicate work, is too low an estimate. But, undoubtedly, the number which can be taken from copperplates, prepared as just stated, is too small to pay ; and therefore, for many years past, both material and mode of preparation have been altered ; steel, and mixed, or even mechanical methods of engraving being adopted instead. This will fully explain the poor, cold, in- artistic appearance of modern prints, when compared with the older ones ; for it is not reasonable to suppose that the modern engravers would not be as skilful as their predecessors, if instead of steel they could work upon what one of the last of the grand old school (see page 1439) so fondly calls " the copper." Section II. — Discovery of the Art. Descriptions of the prints alluded to in this Section will be found in Appendix of Earliest Specimens, page 1765. The work of Leon de Laborde, published in Paris in 1839,* founded on researches made by him with great care in the years 1834 and 1835, amongst the historical collections of Germany and Holland, and * Before this date Dr. Hugh "W. Diamond had drawn attention to the subject in London, by exhibiting at meetings of the Society of Antiquaries a series of early mezzotinto engrav- ings, then in his possession, and he pointed out that Prince Rupert was not the Inventor, and also gave a hst of these early specimens in a letter to Sir Henry Ellis, published in Archseo- logia, vol. 27, and separately. Laborde frequently cites this list inhis work. Dr. Diamond pubHshed a letter in N. ScQ., 4th ser . II. , p. 3 (July, 1 868), calling attention to these matters ; and in i88r, the Author had the pleasure of meeting him, and of hearing from his own lips, how he saw a portfolio with a printseller whom he knew, and on looking over the contents thought them most curious, and purchased the lot for_^40, then a large sum to him; after exhibiting them as above mentioned, some inquiries came about them from Vietina, and the same printseller offered a profit of ^200, which was accepted and the prints passed into the British Museum, Even now they would bring more than ten times the price the ^luseum gave ; and what the ultimate value may rise to cannot be foreseen. II. — DISCOVERY OF THE ART. XXVil on a tolerably extensive collection of mezzotinto prints in his own possession, may be considered to have finally settled many ques- tions as to this matter previously open to some doubt, and to have satisfactorily proved the following facts: Ludvvig von Siegen (who was born in i6og, educated in Holland and at Cassel, entered on a military career, and was appointed in 1639 " Kammerjunker " to the young Landgrave of Hesse Cassel) had displayed great taste for art, and was thoroughly familiar with all the then known modes of engraving. In 1642, he was residing at Amsterdam, and in the month of August of that year he had completed, in a new mode, invented by himself, an engraved portrait of Amelia Elizabeth, dowager Landgravine of Hesse; the drawing for which he had probably made from life a few months previously, when residing at Cassel. This print Von Siegen dedicated to the young Landgrave, and Laborde gives a fac simile of a most interesting letter of his, still preserved at Cassel, which was forwarded with some impressions of the print, and may be translated into English, thus : — " Serene, Highborn Prince and Gracious Sir, My humble services are ever at the disposal of your princely grace. "Since my affection as a subject, rather than the hope of reward, has ever urged me to your service, I therefore (without regard to the fact that my services in themselves small enough, have by some been still further depreciated) have not wished to relax my diligence in devoting work and time to your service, as the present piece which I herewith humbly submit to your princely favour sufficiently shows. " This is the print from copper, gracious Prince and Lord, which 1 promised to prepare for the ever praiseworthy memory of your Grace's mother, in order that many illustrious persons, acquainted with the actions of so widely famed a princess, might be enabled to possess the likeness of her person. "But since I have discovered a new or singular invention of a kind never hitherto beheld, I have, on account of the nicety of the work, been able only to have few copies struck off, not thousands, as in the case of ordinary engravings, and therefore can with them only oblige a few persons. Accordingly, I have, as was just, made a beginning with your Princely Grace, and especially have thought it my duty and pleasure to dedicate it humbly to you, as the inscription placed underneath indicates, for these reasons ; because to you, as eldest, and indeed, only son of the reigning prince, the representation of your Grace's mother could not but be welcome ; for the rest, be- xxviii INTRODUCTION. cause I could not neglect to dedicate to your Grace as an extraordinary amateur of Art, such a rare and hitherto unseen work of Art. " How this work has been done, no copperplate engraver or artist can explain or imagine, for, as your Grace is aware, only three methods of eno-raving on copper have hitherto been seen, i". Engraving or cutting in line(stechen oder Schneider). 2*. Etching or touching with the point (setzen oder gradiren). 3°.* A method hitherto very un- common called puncturing, also executed entirely with points, but in a different manner, and with great labour, and therefore unusual (letzlich ein noch gar ungewoeniiche arth, so man puntzeniren heist, auch mit eitel stiplein jdoch anders und gar miihlich derwegen unge- brauchlich). The present method is, however, none of these, although here also are merely little points and not a single line or stroke; though in some places it appears like a line, yet it is all merely dots, which infor- mation I did not wish to conceal from your Grace as well skilled in art. " I herewith commend your Grace to the Divine protection for all princely wellbeing, and myself humbly to Him and to your Grace's favour. "L. De Siegen. "Amsterdam,^! August, 1642. (Addressed) " A Son Altesse, "Monseigneur Le Landgrave de Hessen Cassel. The print was then somewhat altered, and Von Siegen published it too-ether with another large portrait, after Hondthorst, in which mezzotinto work is still more apparent, in the following year. In 1644, he produced large portraits of Prince William of Orange and his consort, and then appears to have ceased from the occupation for several years ; strictly, however, preserving the secret of his process ; and he even seems to have obliterated every trace of the means by which he arrived at and improved it ; although, as remarked by La- borde (p. 71), there must have been a number of trials and early attempts. In 1654, Von Siegen executed two fine plates ; and in that year an event took place, but for which it is highly probable that this beau- tiful invention might have perished with its author. For, at Brussels, * This appears to mean the style practised by J. Morin and others, said to have arisen from imitation of Vandyke's etching, and practised shortly after this time by Lutma, when it was called "opus mallei." It bears some resemblance in cflect to the modern stipple. II. — DISCOVERY OF THE ART. xxix Von Siegen met with a kindred spirit, also a soldier, and a brave one, of energetic and capacious intellect, and, closest tie of all, attached to, and skilled in, as evidenced by etchings executed years before, the art of engraving. This was Prince Rupert, and to him Von Siegen dis- played his works, and disclosed his secret. Tradition hands down that Von Siegen bound the prince still to preserve the secret. What exactly took place between them can now never be discovered ; but it is not consistent with his making an abso- lute promise never to reveal the process, that Prince Rupert should afterwards have engaged Wallerant Vaillant to assist him in the practice of the art, and should have fully disclosed it in England to Evelyn and to Sherwin, all during the lifetime of Von Siegen. It is, however, most probable that it was agreed that the secret should not be indis- criminately published, but only made known to those who would properly appreciate it, and keep it from common use. In this view of the matter there is no necessity for the story of Decamps, that Theodore Caspar a Furstenbergh obtained the secret by bribing a son of Vaillant, and it was probably invented to reconcile the fancied promise of the prince with the fact of Furstenbergh's knowledge. It is far more reasonable to suppose that Furstenbergh, holding a high position in a city which must have been frequently visited by Von Siegen and Prince Rupert, was personally well known to them, and learned the process of the art directly from Von Siegen ; possibly even before Prince Rupert did, one of his plates being dated 1656. The next who acquired ^the art was John Thomas, called Thomas of Ypres. He was a painter, and worked for the Bishop of Metz and the Elector of Mayence, and thus must almost certainly have become acquainted with Furstenbergh, who himself also painted. Thomas was appointed court-painter at Vienna, in 1652, and in that capacity ac- companied, in 1658, the young Emperor Leopold to his coronation at Francfort. Here he is stated to have acquired the art, and his ear- liest print in mezzotinto bears the date of 1658. It may well have happened that the three possessors of the secret, all of whom were men, more or less, of rank, position, and influence, also attended this coronation ; and it is pleasant to imagine them, withdrawn from pompous ceremonies and noisy revellings, initiating their artist friend in the mystery, discussing, comparing, and studying its improvement. But whether or not such meetings ever took place, it is certain XXX INTRODUCTION. that at this very place, and in this very year, Prince Rupert produced his superb print of the " Great Executioner," the artistic power and grand effect of which has always commanded the admiration of those who have seen it, and must at the time have strongly attracted atten- tion to, and won respect for, the new art. Laborde, from his remarks at p. 72 of his work, evidently intended to publish an elaborate dissertation on the early methods of manipu- lation, and the exact instruments employed. It is to be regretted that he did not do so, for his scattered remarks are very difficult to follow, and some of them do not seem to be accurate. It would be especially satisfactory to know the precise improvement found out by Blooteling, which has been conjectured, and perhaps rightly, to have been the cradle and the peculiar rocking motion which its shape (see page xxiii) allowed. Yet Laborde states that the " berceau " was used by the earlier artists ; it, however, may have been an instrument rounded at the corners only, which would not have allowed of the rocking motion, and consequently should not be termed " berceau." After all, the only source of information open to Laborde, is still open to any qualified person, and this is the close and attentive study of the prints themselves. Some idea of the modifications of the processes of the art may be obtained by the examination with a magnifying glass of the "photo- gravure " illustrations prefixed for this purpose to each of the Parts of this Work. Section III.— History of the Art in Europe. As mentioned in the last Section, Prince Rupert comn^unicated the secret to, and employed Wallerant Vaillant (born, 1623 5 ^'^d, 1677), who had practised as a painter, and had executed some etch- ings, the last one with a date bearing that of 1658. It is, therefore, probable that his engagement with Prince Rupert took place after this ; for, when he had acquired the new mode, he practised it only, and to a great extent, chiefly working at Amsterdam. A catalogue of his works was published by Wessely in 1865, which describes 206 III.— HISTORY OF THE ART IN EUROPE. xxxi pieces in mezzotinto, and probably additions thereto might be made by examining the Beringhen collection preserved in the Paris National Library, and other sources. Unfortunately, Vaillant did not place his address on these prints, and only four dated ones are known, viz., VVessely, Nos. 45 and 47, 1673, and Nos. 43 and 58, 1675 ; but No. 56 was probably engraved as early as 1660. Many of his works are fine, but they have a peculiar black appearance, which must have caused the title of " Schabkunst" to be applied to mezzotinto. Two of his brothers, B. Vaillant and J. Vaillant, also scraped. The next remarkable artist was Johann Friedrich Leonart (b. 1633; d. 1687); he practised at Brussels, Nuremberg, Prague, and Berlin. The earliest date known on a print of his is 1669. Many of his portraits are small and highly finished. In a much more mas- culine style are the prints of John Van Somer (b. 1641 ; d. 1724, see page 14 1 5), one of which bears date, 1668, amongst them are several capital portraits from his own paintings, and many Dutch interiors with groups of figures full of life and spirit. It is uncertain if this artist ever resided in England ; but it is known that his brother Paul Van Somer, who is accordingly mentioned in the body of this work, did so, as also did A. Blooteling, G. Valck, A. de Blois, and J. Verkolje. These latter returned to Holland, continued to practise there, and produced (Blooteling especially) many works of merit. Jodocus Bickart and other pupils of Furstenbergh and Thomas are mentioned at pages 1771, 1780. There is a portrait by E. Lue- deritz, dated 1668, and Benjamin Block (b. 163 1 ; d. 1690) certainly worked as early as 167 1. J. and M. Fennitzer, H. Popp, M. Dichtl, and P. Multz, all natives of Nuremberg, very shortly afterwards produced some curious prints. Several well known and esteemed Dutch painters practised mez- zotinto. Cornelius Du Sart (b. 1665; d. 1704) executed several spirited prints ; the principal one of them, " Le tabac presente," is dated 1685. Nicolas Van Haeften has left us a fine print of three men at an open window, and his own portrait. Michael Van Musscher (b. 1645; d. 1705) executed his own portrait, with figures of Time, and boy blowing bubbles, which is dated, 1685. Carel de Moor ''b. i6f6 ; d. 1738) also scraped his own portrait, a charming little work, dated 1690, and others, mentioned by Laborde. There are also prints by J. Van Huchtenburg (b. 1646; d. 1733), his pupil, D. Maas (b. 1656; d. 1726), Melchior Hondekoeter (d. 1695), J. Toornvliet (b. 1641 ; d. 1719), A. Van Halen, A. Houbraken (b. 1660; d. 1719), xxxii INTRODUCTION. G. de Lairesse (b. 1640; d. 17 n), J. B. Monnoyer (b. 1635 ; d. 1699), A. Schoonebeck, A Van Westerhout (b. 1666; d. 1725), and of more recent date, J. Stolker, D. Koedyck, and Cornelius Troost (b. 1697 ; d. 1750). Laborde includes also, L. Backhuisen, G. Netscher, A. Van Ostade, D.Teniers, and G. Kneller ; he is certainly mistaken as to the last, and the others are very doubtful. It has also been supposed that Rembrandt practised mezzotinto, but this has not been proved, although nothing can be more likely than that he attentively studied the contemporary specimens ; and it is almost certain that Von Siegen was well acquainted with Rembrandt's works, and very probably with that master himself. Laborde (at p. 358) mentions, in a cursory manner, a very curious and interesting print, also catalogued by Rudolph Weigel, No. 18,570, and attributed by him to Jan Van de Velde, jun. It is a large portrait of Oliver Cromwell, with the let- ters " P. R. O. C." at the corners, and is inscribed, " Rombout Vanden Hoeye Excudit. Velde Sculp." It is worked with the burin and point, and appears to the Author to have been done in imitation of mezzotinto by one not acquainted with the secret, but who must have been a most skilful and painstaking engraver, and therefore he attributes it to Jan Vande Velde, sen. (b. at Leyden, 1598 ; d., circa, 1670), at the head of whose works it is placed by Nagler, but who ex- presses some doubts on the point. The imitation is very apparent when one first examines the groundwork with a magnifying-glass, and then glances at the effect from a little distance ; and the print was probably executed during the life of the original, about the time of the discovery of the secret to Prince Rupert. There is an after state of it, with the address of " Carelse." A similar, but es- pecially about the nose, not so characteristic a portrait, was executed in line, in substitution of one of the head of the set of Counts of Nassau, by Suyderhoof and Van Sompel. J. Vande Velde, jun., may have executed the print of Owen (page 1668); but this is mezzo- tinto, and entirely different in style from the Cromwell. Jacobus Gole (b. circa 1660) and Peter Schenck (b. 1645 ; d. circa 1715) produced many prints ; some have merit, but a great number are copies of English productions ; others of these are found with the address of C. Allard, and several were engraved by H. H. Quiter. Amongst the engravers of Germany and the Low Countries, are P. van den Berge, Nicolas Verkolje (d. 1746), J. G. Seiller, B. Vogel, G. P. Rugendas, E. C. Heiss, and subsequently, the family of Haid, V. D. Preisler, and others ; but nothing of remarkable quality was III.— HISTORY OF THE ART IN EUROPE. XXxiii produced amongst them until Jacobe returned from London to Vienna, in 1780, and introduced there the improved manner of work ; amongst those who followed it was that excellent artist, Pichler. Townley also practised for some time at Berlin. In France, the art was practised by J. Vander Bruggen (b. at Brussels, 1649), some of whose prints at Paris are dated, 168 r, Sebastian Barras (b. at Aix, circa, 1680; d. 1710), Andrew Bouys, Bernard whose print of the Dauphin is dated in MS. 1692), Isaac Sarrabat (b. 1670), on whose prints are dates, 1695-1701, Meheux, B. Picart (b. 1673 ; d. 1733), H. Coussin, L. Lombart, and a few others. It is not surprising that so little attention was paid to this art in France, when we consider the great extent to which line engraving was practised there, and the pre-eminent excellence to which it had attained. Towards the end of the eighteenth century some capital and very interesting portraits were produced at Paris by Brookshaw. As in France, so in Italy, the same effect followed the same cause, and the mezzotint© specimens are very few. They are by Ant. Taddei, J. M. Mitelli, F. Nassi, F. A. Lorenzini, and at a later period, by D. Cunego, on one of whose prints, dated 1790, is engraved, "Premiere gravure en ce genre faite a Rome." Laborde is probably mistaken about the art having been practised in Spain ; but he gives correctly the name of Alexis Zuboz as practis- ing at St. Petersburgh, about 1729, where in the latter part of the eighteenth century Walker produced a number of plates. The facts of Townley, Brookshaw, and Walker thus leaving their native country, and of Jacobe learning the art in England, prove what is very evident too from an examination of extensive collections, and is indeed generally acknowledged by continental art writers, that mezzotinto engraving in Europe, had, during the course of the eighteenth century fallen into complete decay and disuse ; and also, that the admirable works produced in this manner in England at- tracted attention in various countries, and led to a desire that this art should be understood and practised in them. XXXlV INTRODUCTION. Section IV. — History of the Art in England. Seventeenth Century. At the Restoration of Charles II., in 1660, Prince Rupert returned to England, and nine years afterwards, in the hands of William Sher- win (see page 1052), the development of the new art, in the country in which it was destined to achieve so much, commenced. Three prints are extant for which the claim has been, or may be made, that they were executed in England before Sherwin's print of i66g. The first is the small head of the Executioner (page 1773, No. 7), by Prince Rupert, published in Evelyn's book, and undoubtedly printed off then. But Evelyn does not assert that he saw the prince engrave that plate; what he does assert is, that the prince " was pleased to cause the instruments to be expressly fitted, to show me, with his own hands, how to manage and conduct them on the plate, that it might produce the effects I have so much magnified." Evi- dently, therefore, the prince had brought over his apparatus, and, surely, it is most probable that with the apparatus was this plate, which the prince then gave to Evelyn, but which was actually exe- cuted on the continent three or four years before. The second is the head of a Moor (page 1780), attributed to the celebrated Dr. (after- wards Sir) Christopher Wren (b. 1632; d. 1723). The foundation of this is a sentence quoted in " Parentalia " (London, 1750), p. 214, from Hooke's " Micrographia " (London, 1667). "He" (Dr. Wren) "was the first Inventor of the Art of Graving in Mezzotinto; which was after prosecuted and improv'd by his Royal Highness Prince Rupert, in a method somewhat different upon the Suggestion (as is said) of the learned and ingenious John Evelyn, Esq : Of this Art some original Essays are extant : viz., the Head of a Moor, &c., by the Inventor; The Executioner of John the Baptist, by the Prince; on the sword is the mark R. P. f. (i.e. Rupertus Princeps fecit), over it, an Electoral Coronet." This claim is disproved by Chelsum, at pp. 16 and 18 of his book, and his reasoning has since been completely confirmed. Laborde, however, p. 273, classes Wren as an engraver in mezzotinto in consequence of the discovery by R. Weigel of this single print of a Moor's head of which Laborde gives a fac simile in his work. Now, there is absolutely nothing to connect this print, which is undoubtedly a very curious and early IV. — HISTORY OF THE ART IN ENGLAND. xxxv specimen, with Wren, or to lead one to suppose that it is an English print, nor, except the foregoing sentence from Hooke, is there any proof whatever that Wren engraved any Moor's head at all. Now, what is this sentence worth ? Hooke undoubtedly knew much about the microscope and other matters, but he knew nothing of engraving, and evidently inserted, in order to pay compliment to Wren, a piece of gossip which he had heard from some one else, and which gossip, in its first and principal assertion, was entirely wrong ; however, the description of the Executioner in it is based on fact, and it is probable that the Moor's head print also was seen, and even that it may have been done with others (note the " &c.") by the inventor ; but the in- ventor was not Wren. Laborde (p. 272) places Evelyn at the head of English mezzotinto engravers, because he thinks he may have engraved a portrait of a Lady Abbess of which he gives a lithograph, and which is the third of the prints under discussion. In Laborde's description the date on this print is given as 1672, in the lithograph as 1678, either date, both being subsequent to Sherwin's " i66g," deposes Evelyn. But there is no proof that the print was ever done by Evelyn, and there is every reason to suppose that the " E. L. delineavit," especially if the date be 1678, proves it to be a very early work of E. Luttrell. It is strange that Laborde, to whose industry and accuracy of re- search so much is owing, should have permitted his enthusiasm to run away with his reason in these instances, and as thenceforward but little allusion will be made to his work, it may here be remarked, that his habit of ranging engravers according to the countries in which they may happen to have been born, instead of those in which they have entirely acquired and practised the art, is very misleading ; for instance, surely the two Fabers do not belong to the Dutch school, or Simon to the French ? During the ten years succeeding Sherwin's print of 1669, others were engraved by him, by Place and Gascar, by Blooteling and his pupil, Valck ; and several were published by R. Tompson, and D. Loggan. About Blooteling there are two questions, of considerable interest, not yet satisfactorily solved : the first, as to what the precise improvement in grounding introduced by him was, has been alluded to (page xxx) ; the second is, whether he acquired the art of engrav- ing in mezzotinto in Holland, or after his arrival in England. His earliest works in this kind with a date are small portraits of Erasmus and Frobenius (Wessely, Xos. 14, 16), dated 1671 ; but, unfortunately, XXXVI INTRODUCTION. none which have a date (the last being Wessely, Nos. 8 and 28, h and d of this catalogue, see pages 66, 67) have any indication of the country in which they were engraved ; the inscriptions, too, are all in Latin. Of course, the above would be decisive in favour of Holland, if Blooteling can be proved not to have come to England until 1673. His works in line do not clear up this matter; but No. 12 fixes the date, 1669, for one of the Furstenbergh prints; painted, too, by Th. Caspar de Furstenbergh in 1668. The mezzotinto portraits which may be considered certainly executed in England are given in this work ; those which may be considered certainly executed in Holland, after Blooteling's return from England, are Wessely, Nos. 4, 5, 12, 15, 18, 20, 21, 22, 25, 26, 31, 37, 42, 48, 49, and more or less uncertainty exists about the remainder. The next ten years witnessed a remarkable expansion of the art ; in the earlier portion of that period we have the prints published by A. Browne, those by Verkolje, P. van Somer, Vandervaart, and others ; but most of the Dutch-born engravers then appear to have discontinued practice, or returned to Holland, thus leaving the field clear for the English-born artists. These comprised E. Luttrell, J. Beckett, R. Williams, Rixon, Man, Oliver, Robinson, Clarke, Vin- cent, R. White; prints published by Lloyd and Tempest, and the earliest works of J. Smith. Amongst these Beckett and Williams arc pre-eminent, their clearness and purity of style marking distinct progress in the art. The Revolution caused no interruption to engraving; the love of art so prominent in Charles I. did not quit his descendants; Charles n. and James 11. gave patronage and encouragement to painters and engravers, and this was continued by William and Mary, and afterwards by Anne. For the years up to the close of the seventeenth century, J. Smith may be regarded as the principal mezzotinto engraver; many of his most interesting works being produced at that time ; some of those already mentioned occasionally engraved within this period, and amongst the new engravers were Faithorne, jun., Leader, W. Wilson, Lens, Lumley, and Emmett. V. — HISTOr-iY OF THE ART IN ENGLAND. XXXvii Section V. — History of the Art in England. Earlier portion Eighteenth Century. The commencement of the eighteenth century found J. Smith the foremost artist in mezzotinto engraving, which was fast becoming con- centrated in England, the works produced elsewhere being then few and of no great consequence. It is, therefore, not to be thought strange that England attracted to herself those desirous of cultivating the art. Thus, from France came J. Simon, and his taste, skill in line engraving, and abilities quickly enabled him to master technical details and to assume a leading position : indeed, he may be considered the successful rival of Smith during the latter years of that engraver's practice. The elder Faber, who had previously come over from Holland, com- menced to work in mezzotinto about the same time as Simon ; but his style is completely different. About the close of Queen Anne's reign were produced the earlier prints of the younger Faber, of G. White, who also had altered his style from line to mezzotinto, and subse- quently we have T. Johnson, Kyte, and Pelham, who went to America and there introduced his art. Soon after the close of the first Georo-e's reign appear Robins, Beard, Van Bleeck, Van Haecken ; some time afterwards, A. Miller, Preston, Heins, Bookman, Burford, and Car- witham. In Scotland, a few prints were produced at this time by Esplens, and R. Cooper, the master of Strange, afterwards so cele- brated as a line engraver, who himself made an essay in mezzotinto. M. Rouquet, member of the French Academy of Painting, who had been long resident in England, has observed in a work on the state of the arts there, published in 1755, that, at the close of the half century, " mezzotinto engraving was very much upon the decline in England ;" that *' although Mr. Smith had previously done admirable things this way, the work was then" so incorrect, that bad painters had a very good opportunity of imputing their own inabilities to the ignorance of the engraver. That there is some truth in this must be at once admitted ; for in- stance, a print by Bookman or Burford will not bear critical compa- rison with one by Beckett or Smith ; but this inferiority was shared by the other arts : sculpture and architecture were at a low ebb, and the painters seem to have neglected the artistic finish of draperies and accessories, and to have aimed at face-likenesses only, in which, how- ever, it must be allowed that they were very successful. xxxviii INTRODUCTION. The progress of any art towards perfection is seldom, it should be remembered, regular; it now advances, now stops, perhaps even re- trogrades, and then bounds forward again. Something, too, should be attributed to the singular deficiency of any taste for art, characteristic of George I. and George II. ; yet, although the latter hated " bainting," his eldest son patronised Mercier, many of whose charming works have been preserved by contemporary engravings. The accurate student of art history should, however, inform him- self about everything connected with his subject, and should trace it out in its darker as well as its brighter days. He will find much in this period, so very little known to superficial critics, to reward his researches, and will recognise the genuine merit of such painters as Vanderbank, Jervas, Seeman, and Hudson, whose works have been so unduly, perhaps through ignorance of them, depreciated. The prints of the younger Faber most completely illustrate the art of this time ; they are satisfactory in themselves, many very in- teresting, all showing rare talent in manipulation, vast industry, and unceasing effort to improve ; yet, compared with those of some who preceded, and of one, at least, of his contemporaries, there is felt to be a want, difficult clearly to explain in words, but which may, per- haps, be defined as deficiency in spirit and that artistic enthusiasm which always accompanies, and generally indicates, the quality which we designate as Genius. However all this be, the time of indubitable recovery was fast drawing near, and the history of it is not a little curious. About 1728, Beard had removed from London to Dublin, and had there executed a few mezzotinto prints which, though the earliest engraved in Ireland, did not appear to produce much effect in extending the art there. Far different was the result when, some twelve years afterwards, Andrew ^Miller went over. He, in conjunction with the Irish artist, Brooks, founded a distinctive Irish school, which not only produced in Dublin a series of prints of remarkable merit, but which so instructed its young pupils, that when they sought a larger field in London, they quickly took the lead and gave the art that impulse which carried it to the point of excellence it immediately afterwards reached. It would almost seem as if there were some subtle secret of the craft, which, when yielded by Simon, had, like the fabled Promethean fire, been seized and brought away by Miller, and then, in renovated vigour, restored by Mac Ardell. VI. — HISTORY OF THE ART IN ENGLAND. XXXlX Section VI. — History of the Art in England. Latter Portion i8th Century. The revival of the art, consequent on the introduction of the new blood of the Irish school, commenced almost exactly in the middle of the century. There exist a pair of interesting companion prints, pro- duced in 1753-4 (see Faber, 174; Mac Ardell, 48), of about equal merit, which may be taken to illustrate the marking of the point at which equality ceased. The old school engraver was then over sixty, the new school engraver not five-and-twenty, and within four years Faber had passed away, and Mac Ardell had attained to an excellence not since surpassed, and which may therefore claim to be perfection. (See as examples, finished proofs of his Nos. i, 168, 174.) Other engravers of the Irish school were Houston, Ford, Jack- son, Purcell, Spooner, and subsequently Dixon, Fisher, and J. Watson. Frye, also, was an Irishman. In painting, too, a new school was arising, Ramsay, Reynolds,* and then Gainsborough, were coming to the front, and full mutual comprehension and appreciation existed between them and Mac Ardell. A few more years roll over, and then he too is gone. Yet his art did not perish with him, but was carried on by many hands to its most extensive development ; still, however, it does appear as if it divided itself into two distinct streams, its masterly boldness and vigorous power being characteristic of the works of J. R. Smith, T. Watson, and Dickinson ; its delicate grace and refined accuracy of those of V. Green, Dean, and Walker. George III. was honourably distinguished from his predecessors of the name by his patronage of British Art ; he favoured Ramsay and Gainsbrough, he founded and took great interest in the Royal Aca- * What Horace Walpole, early in 1759, says of these painters should be remembered : "Mr. RejTiolds and Mr. Ramsay can scarce be rivals, their manners are so diflferent. The former is bold, and has a kind of tempestuous colouring, yet with dignity and grace ; the latter is all delicacy. Mr. Reynolds seldom succeeds in women : Mr. Ramsay is formed to paint them." This, of course, only applies to earlier pictures; yet it may be doubted if (w4th some brilliant exceptions, such as Ladies Waldegrave and Mrs. Pelham) Reynolds after- wards was as successful in this particular as either Gainsborough or Romney. But the right of Reynolds to be placed at the head of English painters cannot be questioned when it rests on his literary portraits, such as the grand heads of Goldsmith and Johnson (Marchi, 7 ; Doughty, 2 ; J. Watson, 82), apparently so simple, yet in reality the product of the combination of extraordinarj- intellect with the highest art. 1** Xl INTRODUCTION. demy, and he collected engravings. It has been alleged that he exhibited want of taste in only once having sat to Reynolds, and in encouraging such a painter as West, when such a painter as Roniney existed. But the cause of this seems clear enough : the most intimate friends of Reynolds were in political opposition to the party in power at court, who would therefore prevent, as much as possible, such intercourse as takes place between a painter and his sitter, lest the latter should thereby be influenced ; and West, from his straightfor- ward, unaffected, and sensible manners, and from his strict rectitude of conduct, was personally adapted to win his Sovereign's regard; whilst Romney was shy, eccentric, almost morose, perhaps never had the opportunity of being presented, or refused it if he had. It is to be remembered, also, that West, when introduced to the king in 1767, had already achieved a very high reputation, both on the Continent and in England : his pictures were admired, and purchased at great prices by many up to and for some years after his death : he was highly eulogised by his brother artists, and was long their elected President. A superb series of beautiful mezzotinto engravings illustrate the works of all these painters, as well as those of their less well-known contemporaries, who would in any other era have been in the foremost rank. Amongst these may be especially mentioned, Cotes, Peters, Zoffany, Cosway,Read, Wheatley, and Wright of Derby, after whose pictures (which are now attracting well-deserved attention) Earlom -and Pether scraped remarkably brilliant and effective prints. The following engravers bear to those already-named a some- what analogous position to that between the last named painters and Gainsborough, Reynolds, and Romney, viz., Brookshaw, P. Dawe, Dunkarton, Greenwood, Grozer, Hodges, Hudson, Jehner, Jones, Judkins, Kingsbury, Laurie, Martin, Murphy, Park, Saunders, and Townley. The prints of Dupont, the nephew of Gainsborough, of ■Haward, and of Spilsbury, are deserving of special study. The close of the century found Hoppner (who himself had scraped) and Lawrence in highest favour as portrait painters in London, with Abbott, Beechey, Copley, Opie, and Stuart, all in fair practice, follow- ing; found Rseburn, whose bold, manly style deserves appreciation, at full work in Edinburgh ; and found poor George Morland, a greater genius perhaps, than any of these, drawing near the end of his dissipated life. None of these painters suffered discredit from any inferiority of the ■newer engravers who worked after them, amongst whom were Barney, J. Ward, W. Ward, and Young. VII. — COLOUR IN ENGRAVINGS. -xH Although many prints of these engravers, and of some Others, as G. Dawe, who rendered Rseburn with remarkable spirit, were produced in the early part of the present century, they have been described in the following pages, for these artists worked in the genuine method by which such honour had been obtained for the English school, and it was desirable to record all their works together. Other engravers, almost contemporary, also, in the early part of their career, executed good work ; but afterwards changed copper for steel, and used mixed methods. The works of these, and of some still more modern, probably deserve a catalogue, for they include the names of H. Meyer, C. Turner, G. Clint, S. W. Reynolds, H. Dawe, W. Say, T. Lupton, and T. Hodgetts ; but, as a whole, they cannot, and should not, be placed on the same footing, or rank on equal terms with the prints of the artists described in these volumes. Section VIL— Colour in Engravings. Paintings owe much of their effect to a variety of colours, which represent the image of the object from which the painting is taken, and a copy of a painting must therefore reproduce its colours. Engravers work with black and white only, consequently the colours of the painting from which they engrave cannot be reproduced by them : but they exhibit their skill in giving, with one colour only, the artistic effect of the painting with many colours. This constitutes engraving an original and distinct craft, and not an imitation of painting; and from its power of producing a number of impressions, and so disseminating knowledge, it may claim to have done for Art, what printing has done for Literature. The most obvious mode of producing colour in engravings (indeed it frequently suggests itself to children, who often do mischief in car- rying it out), is to tint them by hand with a brush and water-colours. This has been occasionally done with admirable effect, as some of the engravings after Reynolds and Romney, coloured at the time, and probably directly from the pictures, abundantly prove. But the skill and time of the artist who could do this really well, would not, as a xlii INTRODUCTION. general rule, be compensated by the increased value of the engraving, and if not really well done, the colouring would much depreciate the print. In Jackson's work on wood engraving (London, 1839), allusion is made to various methods of printing in colours. One, (p. 48 1 ) presumably as early as 1 543, others (pp. 7 1 1 -7 1 5) at a recent date. Kirkall (see page 788) tried it on copper ; and he used also to print from his plates in green or other coloured ink ; and there are a few instances of this practice being adopted by other engravers. The most remarkable attempt by far, however, in this direction, was that of James Chris- topher Le Blon (born, 1670; died, 1741), who resided in England irom about 1720 to 1732, and there published a work, in both English and French, dedicated to Robert Walpole, Esq., Chancellor of the Exchequer (which fixes the date of publication, not otherwise given, between 1721 and 1725). The title of the work is, '* L'Harmonie du Coloris dans la Peinture, reduite en pratique mecanique," &c. He states in the dedication that in his pursuit of the " Coloritto," he " fell upon my invention of printing objects in their natural colours, for which His Majesty was graciously pleas'd to grant me his Letters Patent ;" and he illustrates it with six curious prints, engraved in mezzotinto, one being a female head printed in the usual mode, and three others, the same head in the three stages of his process. The abstract of his invention is that there being three primitive colours, red, blue, and yellow, these can be laid separately or upon each other, by three plates, engraved correspondently on his principles to the colouring of the design, and thus the whole variety of tints necessary may be produced, the print being taken from the plates successively. The pigments should be transparent, pure, or bright, and agreeing in their tone or force of colour ; Prussian blue and red lake of the best sort afford two of them, but the yellow is a hitherto unobtained requi- ■site for carrying on this art to the first degree of perfection, and the only substitute is brown pink. M. Cochin has remarked at the end of an account given by him •of Le Blon's invention, that should it ever be again taken up and cul- tivated, there would be more probability of success in using a greater variety than three colours, and that different colours might, by separate printing-balls, be laid on and printed from a single plate. Le Blon produced a number of engravings by his process, several being of very large size, and a list of them is given by Laborde (pp. 373"9)> also some of those of his pupils, who were named Jean L'admiral, J. Robert, and Fabian Gautier. VIII.— COLLECTORS AND COLLECTIONS. xllil It is scarcely necessary to add that, as Cochin had anticipated, the invention, after many years, was again cultivated, and that parts of its principle were adopted in the process of modern Chromo-litho- graphy. Section VIII. — Collectors and Collections. The race of past collectors of Mezzotinto and other portraits may be divided into two great classes, viz., those who pursued their object before, and those who pursued it after the publication of Granger's book. The pre-Grangerites include Prince Rupert himself ; Prosper Henry Lanckrink (who marked his prints with P. L., sometimes taken for Lely's initials); Samuel Pepys (whose prints, now in the Library of Magdalen College, Cambridge, have been so sadly damaged. See page viii.) ; Prince Eugene (whose collection remains at Vienna);. Edward Harley, Earl of Oxford (who placed his prints in volumes which were all lotted together at the sale after his death) ; Johir Nickolls, F.A.S., 1740, died set. 34, Jan. nth, 1745 (for his collection,, see page 553) ; Hugh Howard (see page 320); George Vertue (who made a MS. list of Heads up to 1723, marking those with a square which he found ** easy to be got," those with a triangle which he found *' not so easy," and those with a circle which he found *' very scarce." His prints were sold by Ford in 1757) ^ Duchess of Port- land (whose collection was sold in 1785); James West (whose col- lection was sold by Langford in 1773) ; Horace Walpole (whose collection was sold by George Robins in 1842, 900 lots of portraits^, fetching under £i,'joo)', Sir William Musgrave (see page 1289) ; these last three collections being those from which Granger states that he chiefly compiled his work ; and the prince of English collectors,. Joseph Gulston (see page 557). Amongst those who amassed well-chosen collections, of which' portraits only formed a part, were John Barnard (collection sold in 1798); Alexander Mangin (collection sold by Carpenter in 1810, see page 83-1.); Sir John St. Aubyn (collection sold by Phillips in 1840) ^ Edward King, F.R,S. (collection sold by Leigh and Sotheby in> 1808). xllv INTRODUCTION. The more remarkable Granger collectors were Richard Bull* (see pages 1289, 135 1); Arthur, first Marquis of Donegal (who purchased a collection commenced by Mr. Gulston, which was sold in 1800 for^505, to Mr.Tyssen) ; Dampier, Bishop of Ely (seeDibdin's "Bibliographical Decameron," Vol. III., p. 345, &c.); Anthony Morris Storer (whose collection was bequeathed to, and is preserved at Eton) ; Samuel Tyssen, F.A.S. (whose collection was sold in 1802, and brought ;^i,030, exclusive of the Donegal Granger, which was purchased for ;{^478 by dealers, who broke it up and resold at a profit, according to the " Chalcographimania," of 600 guineas) ; Sterne Tighe (ist sale, 1799, brought ;^2,2i6; 2nd sale, 1815, brought ;^548) ; Sir James Winter Lake (who formed a collection of 4 volumes, which, according to his manuscript preface, he closed in consequence of " the shameful Impositions practised by the modern Vendors of Portraits ; and, also, the gross impositions of many of the Engravers themselves." See Introduction to Sale Catalogue. These volumes were offered entire at a valuation, up to ist March, 1808; but no one purchasing, they were broken up and sold by Stewart in the April and May follow- ing, and brought ^3,930) ; General Dowdeswell (who lost one col- lection by fire, but formed another which was sold by Dodd in 1809, for £2,T,T]); Henry Ibbot (collection sold in 1818 for ^2,237); Elizabeth, Marchioness of Bath (she was daughter of the Duchess of Portland, and grand-daughter of Harley, Earl of Oxford, both famous collectors ; and her Granger, consisting of 3,300 portraits, was sold in 1826, bringing £1,553); James Bindley (who writing in 1775 to Mr. Granger about the collection purchased from Mr. Bull, by Lord Mountstuart, says : " You will ask me if I am not dis- couraged by the sight of so great a work : I am not ; and 1 hope to be able in time to say with Corregio, ' Ed io anch' fon' Pittore.' — ' y, too, will have my collection of portraits.' " There spoke the true collector, and he acted accordingly. His portraits which were sold shortly after his death, at the ripe age of 81, in 1818, bringing close on £5,000); and in 18 15, Woodburn issued a catalogue of another uncommonly fine Granger collection which he had purchased, marking prices to prints over a guinea value, but leaving blanks oppo- site some very great rarities, which are sometimes met with filled in * Having disposed of his Granger, this indefatigable collector appears to have set to ■work again, and some volumes illustrated by him came to sale at Sotheby's in 1880 ; one of these, contaming many diawnigs, portraits, and prints, brought ;f 1,800; it was broken up and its contents catalogued and ^old again at the same place in x88i. VIII. — COLLECTORS AND COLLECTIONS. xlV by written prices. It does not appear to whom the collection had be- longed ; but Woodburn states that it was the "study of a gentleman of refined taste for many years." The most extensive collection of portraits up to that time brought into the market, except that of Mr. Gulston, was that of Sir Mark Masterman Sykes, who died in 1823 ; they were sold in the following year, those down to reign of William III. bringing ^6,718 ; those from Anne to George III. only ;^959. Then set in what may be called the dark ages, when no one appeared to knov/ about, or to care about, or to set any value on engraved portraits ; the Granger formed by John Townley (who was so very highly esteemed by his contempo- raries, and who died in 1813), was sold in 1828, and only brought ;^ 1,640; a fourth part, perhaps of what it would have sold for fifteen years before; and the " Stowe " Granger, formed at great expense by Richard, second Duke of Buckingham, and containing nearly all the cream of the before-mentioned collections, only brought, in 1849, ^2,560, and the continuation ^1,440. The following collections should also be named : that of H. P. Standly, sold in 1845, containing very full sets of prints after Rey- nolds, Lawrence, and Hogarth, and a vast quantity of illustrations, &c., relating to the English School of Art, all which were dispersed at very low prices ; that of Edward Wenman Martin, who had obtained an extraordinary number of the very great rarities amongst the English portraits ; but who, unfortunately, did not preserve all his prints with proper care ; indeed, he is said to have permitted a favourite monkey to handle them (N.B. — There are, even now, several human beings who, if they get the opportunity, claw prints just as much as the animal would do) ; so it is not surprising that the prices, even for those uninjured in what the catalogue calls their *' unadorned state," were not very high ; that of George Daniel, whose theatrical rarities and literary portraits were in the choicest condition, and whose sale, in 1864, appears to mark the revival of the taste for, and interest ini British Portraits. As might be anticipated, this class of prints did not et>gage the attention of the great foreign collectors as much as those of theirown countries; there is a catalogue, however, of the collection of Mons. Brandes, private secretary to the Hanoverian Chancellerie, by Hubcr, published at Leipsic in 1794, which contains a large number of them, as also does that of M. Paignon Dijonval, by Benard, published at Paris, 1 8 10. A collection of J. Smith's works, and a few others, were disposed of at the sale of P. J. Mariette, in 1775; at that of the Xlvi INTRODUCTION. Grave von Fries, at Amsterdam, in 1824, were eight portfolios of English mezzotinto prints, one of which, containing sixty-one large prints after Reynolds, including Mrs. Pelham, Ladies Waldegrave, Duchesses of Devonshire and Rutland, Ladies Bunbury and Keppel, and so forth, brought 300 florins ; and at that of Baron Verstolk, at Amsterdam, in 1847, were three portfolios, one containing the works of Earlom. There have also been very extensive sales in London of the stocks of printsellers, amongst which may be mentioned those of Richardson, 1813-4; Boydell, 1818; Wilkinson, 1825-6-7; W. & G. Smith, 1849-51; Tiffin, i860; and soon after, Messrs. Evans privately disposed of their stock through various channels. The sales which have taken place since that time have been chiefly of prints from some of the foregoing sources, supplemented by a con- siderable importation from the Continent, where the productions of the English school were largely purchased in years long gone by, and preserved with the most scrupulous care, thus forming a kind of reservoir to supply the demand lately arisen for them in their own country. There does not exist, however, the least danger of an overflow or excessive supply, for many prints are absorbed into permanent collections, and many are taken out of the country al- together, especially to America ; and, indeed, it seems reasonable that illustrations of the art, genealogy, history, and literature of the time of an ancestry common to both nations, should be as highly prized by the present Americans as by the present English. Existing collections may be classed under two heads : public, or those preserved in some Institution from which they are not likely again to come into the market ; and private, or those which are the property of individuals, and may be disposed of at the pleasure of the owners. Amongst those in which British Mezzotinto Portraits are most numerous are : The British Museum. This great repository contains the result of the labours of several individuals, obtained by bequest or purchase, amongst them the Rev. C. M. Cracherode and Dr. C. Burney, author of the " History of Music." Under the administration of the present Keeper of the Print-room, great advances have been made in classifying and cataloguing ; and arrangements are in progress which will permit of the treasures being exhibited to the public in greater numbers than hitherto ; increased VIII. — COLLECTORS AND COLLECTIONS. xlvii knowledge and more extended cultivation of taste may be surely expected to result from this. The Williams Library contains a copy of " Wilson's History of Dis- senting Churches, with Lives of their Ministers/' illustrated with a large number of curious and scarce portraits, by Mr. John Simco, formerly a book and printseller in Air-street, Piccadilly, who be- queathed the volumes to this Library at his death, in 1824. The South Kensington. This is merely commenced : but it is to be hoped that it will be extensively developed, as great facility for the study of portraits would be afforded by having both the painted and engraved ones as nearly together as possible. The Sutherland Collection. See Preface, page ix. The Hope Collection, also at Oxford. The Pepysian Collection at Cambridge. See Preface, page viii. The Fitzwilliam Collection, also at Cambridge. The Storer Collection, Eton College. The Joly Collection, at the Royal Dublin Society's House in Dublin, presented by J. R. Joly, LL.D., very rich in Irish books and prints. The Bibliotheque Nationale, at Paris, contains a large number of English portraits ; most noteworthy are those in the collection -■/•J1 presented to the king, in 1734, by M. Beringhen. Other collec- tions, wisely acquired by the French nation, were those of the Abb6 Marolles (containing 155,000 prints, purchased in 1667, for 26,000 francs), Gaignieres, Clement, Begon, and Uxelles. The Collection at Amsterdam contains the works of J. Smith, Mac Ardell, Watson, and others. The Collection at Dresden is very extensive and interesting, contain- ing, for instance, 30 pieces by J. C. le Blon ; and at the same place is a private collection called the " Queen of Saxony's." The Collection at Munich* is stated to contain 84 portfolios of por- traits ; that at Vienna, 232 boxes of portraits, of which 217 came from the collection of Prince Eugene; and in the Emperor's col- lection at the same place, are 80,000 portraits, contained in 800 portfolios.

The Collection of Henry Percy Home, Esq. The Collection of John Warwick, Esq. There are also, without doubt, many rich and interesting collec- tions preserved in various old family mansions through England (of some of which the present owners are perhaps hardly aware). The Duke of Devonshire possesses a very choice collection of the works of J. Smith ; and the Earls of Hardwicke and Stamford are said to pos- sess great treasures of this kind. There are also new collectors coming forward, such as Baron Rothschild of Paris. The Author, however, can only name the more important of the collections which he has had the opportunity of inspecting, and may close this section with a mention of the collection formed by himself, which contains about ninety per cent, of the portraits described down to page 1753, and about forty-five per cent, of their variations, a number of subject pieces of the engravers of these portraits, a quantity of the prints mentioned at pages 1754 to 1764, several of the earliest specimens (pages 1765-80), and a series illustrative of Section III. of this Introduction. The object for which this collection was brought together having been now accomplished by the completion of these volumes, the Author does not desire longer to retain it. But as he believes it to be the most nearly complete collection of this class of prints ever made ; and as it seems in the highest degree improbable that almost any amount of time or money could now accumulate one equally exten- sive, it surely ought to change owners en bloc, and not be broken up and dispersed. :. .,. Section IX.— Publishers and Printsellers. Although the engravers whose works are detailed in the following pages were frequently themselves the publishers of their prints, yet their plates, after their death or retirement, for the most part passed into the hands of those who were publishers and printsellers only, IX. — PUBLISHERS AND TRINTSELLERS. xlix and not engravers; in some cases, also, the engravers worked di- rectly for the printseller, and the plates, as soon as finished, became his property. It is therefore clearly desirable for collectors to understand some- thing about these publishers, especially the order of their succession to one another, as this knowledge will be found most useful in discriminating variations of state, not only of mezzotinto portraits but of other classes of engravings. The following list, in which, for convenience of reference, the names are placed in alphabetical order, will be found to contain some hints on the subject. It does not profess to give every pub- lisher, and does not include the more modern ones. It will be observed that the vast majority of them, as well as of the engravers, resided in London, and in a limited area of it, the boundaries of which do not very much differ from those of the present West Central Postal District, which even still includes most of the present dealers, as well as the great national collection of the British Museum.

About 1760, he took his son into partner- ship, and the name of the firm was consequently altered to " Bowles and Son ;" but the young man died in December, 1762, after which the words "and Son " were erased from the plates on which they had been engraved ; and also " Black Horse,'' "No. 13" being substituted, from which address a catalogue was issued in 1768. Soon afterwards John Bowles died, and he was 1 INTRODUCTION. succeeded by Robert Wilkinson, who had previously carried on business at 125 Fenchurch-street (page 767), and who continued at Cornhill until his death, after which, in 1825-27, the entire stock was dispersed, as stated in Section VIII. Bowles, Thomas, was probably a brother or some near relation of the foregoing, and was established ** next to the Chapter House in St. Paul's Church Yard." He carried on a large trade, purchas- ing and re-issuing many plates originally published by E. Cooper and others. He died, 8th April, 1767 (an entry given by Noble, Vol. III., pp. 429, 30 ; but, with his usual inaccuracy, he makes it apply to John Bowles, whom he imagines to have removed from Cornhill, and gives the date as 1757), and was succeeded by his son, Carington, who altered the address to " No. 69 in St. Paul's Church Yard." He was in partnership with Carver for some years, during which the name of the firm was " Bowles and Carver." As numbers are attached to many prints issued from this house, it is probable that they also published catalogues. Carington Bowles died at Kensington Gore, 20th June, 1793. These two firms of Bowles appear always to have had a good mutual understanding ; they were partners in many prints, and no instance has been met with to indicate any rivalry or opposi- tion between them. Boydell, John and Joseph. (See pages 81, 538.) The first address of John, about 1752, was at the " Unicorn, the corner of Queen Street in Cheapside " (page 1402), afterwards, "No. 90 Cheap- side," was the address ; and, when embarking on the illustration of Shakespeare, additional premises were taken in Pall Mall, and styled the " Shakespeare Gallery." A number of catalogues of their large stock were published by this firm, amongst them one in French, dated 1779. The stock, when dispersed, in 181 8, as stated in last Section, brought over ;^40,ooo (see page 1133). Bretherton, James, 134 New Bond-street, 1778 (page 1490). Browne, Christopher (page 828).

His taste for engraving was very great, and his powers of manipu- lation equally so, having practised nearly all the different methods of the art ; his most important works are his etchings, and his retouch of Rembrandt's Hundred Guilder print is considered by Joubert so perfect that it may well be taken for the first state from Rembrandt's own hand. Nearly all his prints were published in a collected form by Boydell, and there were several issues of them ; the plates and remaining impressions were disposed of in Boydell's sale, June 6th, 1818, for ;C640 los. od. The following portraits come within the plan of this work. Mention has been made by Redgrave and others (though not by Ottley) of Baillie's having scraped a portrait of himself after Hone, but the print has not been met with ; he etched a small head of himself, and there is a print of him in stipple, one of which may have been mistaken for a scraping. 1.

Grammont says that his face was extremely handsome, and yet manly, neither inanimate nor eiTeminate ; displayed great valour at Msestricht in the war against the Dutch, and again in 1678 with the Dutch against the French ; in the insurrection in 1679 in Scotland, defeated the covenanters at Bothwell-bridge, but was ordered to leave the kingdom on the rumour of a marriage having taken place between his father and mother, which Charles disproved b> a solemn dec!-^ ration enrolled in Chancery. On Charles's death he landed in England on nth June, 1685, and raised the standard of rebellion against James, but though largely supported, was defeated at Sedgemoor on 5th July, taken prisoner, and having been attainted by an act passed on 15th June, was executed without a trial on Tower-hill on 15th July, 1685. BAILLIE, BARNARD. 7 For the last four years of his life he had been estranged from his Duchess, and violently attached to Lady Henrietta Wentworth, but there was a reconciliation with his wife before his execution. WILLIAM BARNARD commenced the practice of the art towards the close of the last century, some of his works bearing date of 1798; he probably died about 18 19, as he is mentioned in the Annals of the Fine Arts for that year, but not subsequently. His works are executed in a solid and bold manner. There is a portrait of the Rev. Francis Grossman after W. Salter, published in 1838, engraved by William Barnard, but the style is much more modern, and does not resemble that of the portraits about to be described ; the following in Evans' Catalogue are also probably by the same more modern hand : — No. 19, 851, Richard Oastler, after Illidge. „ 20, 252, John Pering, 4to. after do. ,, 20, 427, George Lord Poltlmore, after Middleton. ,, 21,263, John Shore, set 82, 1824, after Illidge. 1, William Bi^g^.

He was a pupil according to Redgrave, of S. W. Reynolds, and practised at the commencement of the present century, but quitted his profession, entered the army, and rose to some distinction in the Peninsular War. Redgrave says this took place about 1805, but from the dates on his prints it was probably four or five years later. His works are executed with intelligence and taste. A pair of large mezzotinto prints, "Morning" and "Evening," after Wheatley, were engraved by J. Barney, and published by him from Tottenham-Court Road, Feb. 1 793. The father and brother of W. W.

THOMAS BEARD is stated by Strutt to have been a native of Ireland ; in this he is followed by Redgrave. There does not appear, however, any evidence of it, as was remarked in a letter from a Dublin correspondent (who was probably Alexander Mangin), in Gentleman's Magazine, Vol. LVI., p. 418; and it is likely that he came from London to Ireland, from the fact that he had no means of learning his art in the latter place, his own being the first mezzotintos executed there : No. 2 also is referable to an earlier date than the others. There is a print by Beard of Liberality and Modesty after Guido (the same subject as afterwards engraved by Strange), of a later date than any of the portraits, being published by John Bowles and Son, at the Black Horse in Cornhill, so he probably returned to London. 1.

This portrait appears much younger than Boulter's age in 1728, it may therefore have been painted when he was Bishop of Bristol. Born in London, Jan. 4, 1671, educated at Merchant Taylor's school and Ch. Ch. Oxford, attended George I. as his chaplain when going to Hanover in 17 19, and was appointed tutor to Prince Frederic: consecrated Bishop of Bristol, 15th of Novr. 17 19, Archbishop of Armagh 1724 ; the latter appointment he showed much reluctance to take, but was commanded to do so by the King. He was very chari- table and anxious to promote useful works, and was the author of several charges and sermons, and of interesting letters. He embarked 4 1 8 BEARD. for England in June, 1 742, and after two days' illness died at St. James's Place, Sept. 27 of that year. He left the bulk of his property to improve the condition of the Irish clergy, but is considered to have advocated the filling of high appointments in the church by natives of England. 2.

Daughter of Sir William Leveson Gower, married Henry, last Earl of Clarendon and Rochester of the Hyde family, and died May 24, 1725. She was the object of general admiration, yet conducted her- self with the utmost propriety. Lord Lansdowne addressed a poem to her, and she was Swift's " principal goddess." One of her daughters married William Earl of Essex, the other Charles Duke of Queensberry, the latter was the famous " Prior's Kitty," who unfortunately does not "bloom" in mezzotinto. 3. William Conolly. Gulston Catalogue, p. 71, Lot 91 (purchased by Mr. Willett). Bromley (page 265) gives the same reference, so the print was not known to him. Elected Speaker of the Irish House of Commons, 17 15, and held that position until shortly before his death, which occurred on 30th October, 1729, he was buried at Celbridge, Co. Kildare : it is said that linen scarves were adopted for the first time at his funeral. There is a portrait of him in the line manner by Fourdrinier after Jarvis. 4. John Koadly. T. Q.

He was the younger brother of Benjamin Bishop of Winchester, and their father is said to have prophesied that Benjamin would be an archbishop and John a bishop, but these titles were transposed by the event. 5.

Preached a thanksgiving sermon after the battle of the Boyne, and in January, 1691, was appointed Bishop of Derry. Soon afterwards pub- lished the " State of the Protestants in Ireland " (a work commended by Burnet, but controverted by Charles Leslie), and also other books ; translated to archbishopric of Dublin 1702, and died at his palace there.

He laid out large sums on his palaces, and on the college of Dublin, where he, built the printing house and founded exhibitions. His father, who was nephew of Archbishop Ussher, had been a fellow of this college and was buried there. 7. Thomas Wyxidham. Stowe Granger continuation, p. 14, Lot 115. Not mentioned by Bromley. An eminent lawyer, Lord Chancellor of Ireland 1726, which office he filled until 1739, created Baron Wyndham of Finglas 1731, died 24th Nov. 1745. 20 I. BECKETT. ISAAC BECKETT was born in Kent in 1653 and apprenticed to a calico printer in London ; when visiting Luttrell he was seized with admiration of mezzotinto engraving, and was instructed therein by Lloyd. He must have been associated with these and others, for his name appears as printer on the Duchess of Cleveland by Luttrell, as engraver on second state of Wetenhall by Vandervaart, and 9, 43, and 57 of the following were published by A. Browne (it being possible that, as they are much in the style of Browne's other prints, he may have engraved some of the latter to which he did not put his name), these were probably his earliest attempts ; his subsequent plates are improved in style, exhibiting careful preparation of the ground, high finish, and artistic effect, equalling at least the best productions of Blooteling. He is said to have been noted for his gallantries, and to have married a woman of fortune, which enabled him to set up as publisher of his prints. It is certain that he did publish most of the remainder at the Golden Head in the Old Bailey, one piece by him (not a portrait) bearing address, " under ye Stares on ye north side of ye Royal Exchange." Le Blanc states that he died in 1715, and Redgrave in 17 19, but his plates are all referable to dates between 168 1 and 1688. He was succeeded at the "Golden Head" by G. Beckett, I. Savage, and by his celebrated pupil John Smith, who finally appears to have obtained many of Beckett's plates and to have placed his own name on them, not only as publisher, but on some even as engraver. William Beckett was a publisher of prints in mezzotinto by Clarke, the younger Faithorne, and others, " at his shop ye backside of ye Royal Exchange," but was not, apparently, an engraver. Bromley mentions (pp. 93, 119) Oliver Cromwell and Prince Rupert as engraved or published by J. Beckett, and Nell Gwyn by Becket, and in Weigel's Catalogue Delmont after Vandyck by Becket is named ; these, if existing at all as described, should probably be attri- buted to the others already mentioned of the same name, as publishers. Beckett executed many scriptural and allegorical subjects also. Isaac Beckett and Williams are entitled to be considered as the first native Englishmen who extensively practised and in a measure founded the school ; the earlier works being chiefly executed by engravers not of English birth, and those who were so, as Place and Sherwin, having worked to a limited extent, so far as known without pupils, and rather as amateurs than anything else. 1.

Born at Kilkenny, 29th June, 1640, eldest daughter of the first Duke of Ormond ; married about 1660, Philip Stanhope, Earl of Ches- terfield (his second wife); was one of the most admired beauties of Charles's court, and is very frequently mentioned by Grammont, who relates that her husband removed her to his country seat in 1662, where she died in 1665. There was a story current afterwards that he had caused her to be poisoned. The portrait of this lady engraved in " Mrs. Jameson's Beauties," does not resemble this print, and were it not that the name " Butler" is on the similar print by Browne, it might be that the portrait was that of Lady Elizabeth Dormer, the third wife of the same Earl, who died in 1679. 22.

Married at 18, Roger Palmer, and accompanied him to Holland in 1659, where her acquaintance with Charles commenced. She became his avowed mistress at the Restoration, and exercised a power, or rather tyranny, over him greater than even her beauty would seem possible to obtain. Her husband was created Earl of Castlemaine in 1660, and she herself Duchess of Cleveland in 1670, after which her influence rapidly decHned. On the death of her husband, in 1703, she foolishly married Beau Fielding, and was barbarously ill-treated by him ; but, for- tunately for her, a former wife of his was discovered to be alive, and he was prosecuted for bigamy. She died of dropsy at Chiswick, Oct, 9, 1709, and was succeeded in her titles by her eldest son; her second being Henry Fitzroy Duke of Grafton ; her third, George Fitzroy Earl and Duke of Northumberland; her eldest daughter married Lord Dacre; her second the Earl of Litchfield ; and her third became a nun. 23.

In 1672 he was created Duke; and Earl of Guilford in England in 1674 ; was one of the famous Cabal. On the Duke of York's arrival in Scotland in 1680 he was dispossessed of his offices in consequence of voting for the condemnation of the Earl of Stafford ; and died at Tunbridge, 24th August, 1682, leaving one child, Mary, married to the Marquis of Tweeddale. Burnet says his tongue was too big for his mouth, and that he bedewed every one he spoke to, and the portrait exactly gives the idea of this. 62. Madame LawSOU. KNELLER. H.

In this he is wrong ; and it is the portrait either of Elizabeth, daughter and heir of George Preston, Esq., of Holker, Lan- cashire, who married Sir Wilfrid Lawson, of Isell in Cumberland, the 2nd Bart, (he succeeded his father in 1689, and died in 1704) ; or, of his mother Milcha, daughter of Sir William Strickland, Bart., of Boyn- ton, Yorkshire. 40 I.

Born at Soest, in Westphalia, in 161 7 ; arrived in England after the death of Van Dyck, in 1641 ; knighted in 1680, and died 30th November of that year. He is considered to have been a mannerist, from the languishing air and half-closed eyes of his female sitters ; but much of this may have been of their own choosing. It cannot be denied that the portraits of this painter were both delicate and graceful, and the colouring brilliant. The charming little landscapes and other accessories show how much he studied the suitable finish of his works. 64. Roger L'Estrauge. H.

There appears to have been some distrust of him after the Restoration, as for some time he got no appointment, but w^as at length made Hcenserof the press, which he continued to be until the eve of the revolution ; wrote many pamphlets, and published news- papers, and was knighted by James II. Queen Mary appears to have had a bad opinion of him, as she made out an anagram of his name, "Lying-Strange-Roger." He died September nth, 1704, and was buried at St. Giles's in the Fields. 65.

Noble states that this portrait is very uncommon, but that no par- ticulars of the person have come down to us. A note, probably by Granger, queries whether this may not be a son of Edward Low, of whom Wood gives many anecdotes ; and this seems a very probable conjecture, as he was married to Alice, daughter of Sir Robert Pey- ton, of Dodington, in the Isle of Ely, and died in 1682, both being buried in the divinity chapel, adjoining Christ Church, Oxford. He had been organist of that church, and published a work on the Cathe- dral Service, with his portrait, in 1644.

Anne, on her accession, loaded him with dignities (it was said that he had aspired to her hand before her marriage) ; in 1703, created Duke of Normanby, and Duke of Bucking- ham ; died 24th February, 1720, and was buried in Westminster Abbey. He was married thrice, each time to a widow, the last being the daughter of the Countess of Dorchester and James II., and on the death of his only legitimate son by that lady (who survived him, and died 1742) the title became extinct. He was author of many pieces, of which his duchess published a splendid edition in 1723, and he was friend to Dryden and other literary celebrities, 77. Henry Duke of Norfolk. H.

A brilliant impression has been met with, having inscrip- tion space cut off ; it is probably an earlier state.

They were married 1 7th November, 1659. She was naturalised by Act of Parhament the next year, and appears to have been worthy of her husband (whose father said to one condol- ing with him after the Earl's death, " I would not exchange my dead son for any living son in Christendom"). She outlived him three years, and died Jan. 1684, having been the mother of twelve children, live of whom survived her. 84. Catherine Philips. H.

Louise Ren6e de Penencovet de Qu6roualle, of a noble family in Brittany, was appointed maid of honour to the Duchess of Orleans in i66g, when about 19 years of age; she attracted the attention of Charles II. at the celebrated interview with his sister at Dover in 1670, after whose death she was brought to Whitehall (with the connivance of the Duke of Buckingham and others, who wished to supplant the Duchess of Cleveland), and appointed maid of honour to the Queen ; in 1672 she had a son by Charles, and in 1673 was created Duchess of Portsmouth, &c., and by Louis XIV. Duchess of Aubigny, as a mark of his friendship for his good brother the King of England. Her power over Charles only ceased with his life ; her extravagance was boundless, and she engaged in deep and complicated state intri- gues ; but, unlike others of his mistresses, does appear to have been really attached to her royal lover. On his death she retired to France, but revisited England in .1699, and again in 17 15, when she was presented to the Princess of Wales (afterwards Queen CaroHne) ; she spent the remainder of her life in retirement, and died at Paris in 1734. Voltaire, who saw her at the age of 70, describes her as still surprisingly beautiful. 86. Charles Duke of B>lchmoud. vvissiNG. W.

Died at Goodwood, May 27th, 1723. He was created a Knight of the Garter in 1 68 1, and was introduced by the Duchess to the King with his ribbon ' over the left shoulder and the George appendant on the right side, instead of round the neck with the George on the breast, the previous mode.

Daughter of Walter Stewart, third son of Lord Blantyre, who was connected with the court of Henrietta Maria ; appointed maid of honour to Queen Catharine in 1663. Her wonderful loveliness seriously captivated Charles II., and many others, as detailed by Grammont ; amongst them Rotier the medallist, who came over^to cut the die for the new coinage, and exhibited her head on the reverse as Britannia. She, however, in March 1667, eloped with and was married next day to Charles Stuart, 6th Duke of Lennox and 3rd Duke of Richmond (who died at Elsinore in 1672, having been appointed ambassador to Denmark). About two years after her marriage she was attacked by small-pox, and recovered with difficulty. The King frequently visited her after her marriage, but merely in courtesy ; at the time however, he was, deeply enraged, and the great Lord Clarendon was deprived of the Seals and banished, and those consequences followed which paved the way for the Revolution. The Duchess appears to have divided the latter part of her life between cards and cats, and died in 1702. 89. Laurence Earl of Rochester. KNELLER. H.

Catalog. II. 12,696) to have been a name placed by R. Earlom on prints engraved by him for B. B. Evans, in consequence of his engagement to Boydell, not to work for any other publisher. Redgrave does not mention this, but gives Henry Birch as an engraver practising towards latter part of 1 8th century, distinct from William Birch, enamel painter and en- graver (of whom we have several works in stipple and line, and who went to America in 1794), both authorities quote a pair of prints by Henry — the " Gamekeepers " and " Labourers " after Stubbs. The truth of Weigel's statement, therefore, cannot be absolutely accepted, but the probabilities are strongly in favour of it ; the prints -«*> BIRCHE, BLACKMORE. 6i with this name, so far as known, are all published by Evans, and the style of work strongly resembles that of Earlom. There is an interesting pair of prints after Gainsborough, pub- lished by B. B.Evans, Sept. i, 1791.

THOMAS BLACKMORE, called "John" by Redgrave, was, according to him, born in London, about 1740, and died 1780. He appears to have practised for only a short period, his prints being referable to about 1769 to 1771. 1. Henry Bunbury. REYNOLDS. H.

Brit : Mus. where it is marked first state. The print is similar in reverse to that engraved by James Watson, but is on a larger scale, and shows less of the figure. Born 1 7 14, third son of Sir Thomas Lyttleton, of Hagley, in Wor- cestershire (his eldest brother was created a peer in 1757) ; educated for the Bar, but entered the Church ; appointed Dean of Exeter, 1748, and Bishop of Carlisle, 1762 ; his ardent love of antiquarian pur- suits led to his election as P. S. A. in 1765. He died, unmarried, 22nd Dec, 1768. ABRAHAM BLOOTELING was born in Amsterdam, in 1634, and was a scholar of the great master, Cornelius Visscher. He distinguished himself both in line engraving and mezzotinto ; the latter he may have acquired from Fiirstenberg, as he engraved in BLOOTELING. 65 line three portraits of that family. He came over to England in 1673, and is said to have returned in 1676. It may, however, be open to doubt, whether he did not remain in England for a longer period ; at any rate, he must have been in communication with English pub- lishers, and have sent his plates over to them from Holland. The date of his death is believed to have been about 1695. A detailed catalogue of his works has been written by M. J. E. Wessely, and published at Leipsic, in 1867 ; it describes 141 plates in the line, and 128 in the mezzotinto manner. The following, many of which are not mentioned by Wessely, if not all engraved, were with every probability pubHshed in England, and consequently should be included in this work ; and it is possible that some others catalogued by him were so also. Wessely has the Countess of Bedford (No. i). Earl of Bridge water (No. 6), Countess of Grafton (No. 17), Madame Gwynn and her sons (No. 19), as being by this artist; but although in his style, the proof is not conclusive, and the three first plates will be found under " Engraver not ascertained," the fourth under " R. Tompson, excudit." The Earl of Sandwich, under " Engraver not ascertained," and P. Lely, under " A Browne excudit," are most probably by Blooteling. During his stay in England, Blooteling contributed much to the improvement of the art by additional working of the ground, thus making its texture closer, and giving a much more finished and bril- liant effect to the print. As numbers to the following might create confusion with those adopted by Wessely, letters are used instead. a. Princess Auu. LELY. (Not mentioned by Wessely.) H.

BOCKMAN is mentioned by Redgrave as a portrait painter and mezzotinto engraver, but the initial of his Christian name given there is R, although G is very distinct on the prints ; it is also stated that his widow applied to the Society of Artists for relief in 1769, but un- less, which is not likely, there were two artists of the name ; this docs BOCKMAN. 71 not agree with the following extract from the London Magazine, "April 2nd, 1773: At his house in Tash-street, Gray's Inn Lane, Mr. Gerhard Bockman, limner, aged 87. He was the last surviving disciple of Sir Godfrey Kneller, and followed his business to the last year of his life." His style is peculiar, the touching somewhat coarse, but in early impressions the effect is clear and good ; he also executed some sub- ject pieces after Watteau, and others. 1. George Lord Anson. T.

HENRY BRYER is stated by Redgrave to have been a pupil of William Wynne Ryland (who, however, only practised in the line and stipple methods), they were certainly partners as printsellers, and carried on business for some years opposite the Royal Exchange, in Cornhill ; their trading ended in bankruptcy, which Bryer seems not to have long survived, being alluded to as " deceased " in the procla- mation dated 2nd April, 1783, for the apprehension of Ryland for forgery, an offence of which he was found guilty, and he was huno- on 29th August, i;783, an extraordinary thunderstorm occurring just before his execution. There is a print of " Cupid Disarmed," published by Bryer at the 124 BRYER. same address as the second of the following. A print of Dunckerly, by J.

In this state, Bromley (p. 417) considers the personage to be Mary, daughter of Benedict Conquest, of Irnham, Co. Lincoln ; married, 31st May, 1763, Henry, 8th Lord Arundell, of Wardour ; and died at Irnham^ 21st June, 1813, aged 70. The picture is supposed to have been painted by Reynolds, who notes Lady Arundel as a sitter, 1766-8, and Cotton states that whole lengths of her and her husband were at Wardour Castle. Taylor appears to confuse these with the Earl of Arundell, afterwards nth Duke of Norfolk, and one of his wives. n. As described. in. Hair and face altered, additional pearls and earring added, eyes looking downwards, " Cumberland " erased, instead Gloucester. Brit: Mus. Bromley states on authority of the Gulston Catalogue, that this plate was first altered to Duchess of Gloucester, and afterwards to that of Cumberland ; in this he is mistaken, as the Cumberland state is clearly prior to the other.

He succeeded, in 1758, as third Viscount Howe, and was raised to an earldom, in August, 1788 ; K. G., 1795 ; He was afterwards the means of inducing the mutineers at the Nore to return to their duty. He died 5th August, 1799. A mezzotint© portrait of him was taken by a foreign artist, without his knowledge, he was amazed when it was presented to him, but hung it up in his cabin, and for a long time this caused him to be known in the navy as " Black Dick." 6.

Her baronial titles passed to her eldest son, and on his death, devolved on his daughter, the wife of Sir Hugh Smithson, created Duke of Northumberland, 1766. Swift lampooned the Duchess, who had red hair, as " Carrots," and consequently made her an enemy to his advancement. BUTLER CLOWES, according to Bromley, " amused himself with scraping the heads of his family and acquaintance from the life, without previous drawings. Few of them have any resemblance, and most of the plates were destroyed, almost as soon as finished." This criticism is too severe, for his works show considerable artistic ability ; he alsa scraped several large caricatures after CoUett, amongst them : — A Rescue, or the Tars triumphant. The Henpeck'd Husband. The Dying Usurer. Grown Gentleman taught to Dance. The Female Bruisers. His address appears on several prints by James Watson and others. According to the foregoing authority, he died in 1782. 1. Frances AttWOOcL. Bromley, page 440, dated 1771 ; afterwards Mr.s. Manniok. 2. (John AttWOOd.) H.

It does not appear certain that the print, which is in Suth. Coll., is a British one. GEORGE DAWE, son of the following ; born in Brewer-street, Golden-square, London, 8th February, 1781 ; brought up to his father's profession, is said to have engraved in mezzotinto, when only fourteen years old. Redgrave and Sandby state that he abandoned this art for painting, when he was twenty-one ; but most of the following were executed at a somewhat later period than this. He appears, however, to have commenced painting about 1803, and became distinguished for his portraits, being patronised by Prince Leopold, Princess Charlotte, Emperor Alexander, and others of high position. He practised at St. Petersburgh from 1819 to 1828, during which time he is said to have painted 400 portraits of Russian officers, besides other sitters ; he afterwards visited Berlin, but returned to England in August, 1829, and died at the house of his brother-in-law, Mr. Wright, the engraver, the 15th of October following. He was buried in St. Paul's. His prints are not highly finished, but are in a broad, manly, and effective style, and, therefore, especially successful in the rendering of Raeburn's pictures. 1.

In 1800, he spent some time in Ireland; and, in 1801, he married again ; a few years after he opened a book- seller's shop in Skinner-street, under the name of Edward Baldwin; in 1 8 16, he visited Edinburgh ; appointed by Earl Grey, Yeoman Usher of the Exchequer ; and resided in New Palace Yard, Westmin- ster, where he died, April 7th, 1836, and was buried at St. Pancras 150 G.

He is said to have worked under Hogarth, and was the pupil, and probably the connection by marriage, of Henry Morland, after whom he executed several plates. p. DAWE. 153 Both had sons named George, and it was George Dawe, and not Philip, as stated by Redgrave, who was the biographer of George Morland. There is a print by PhiHp Dawe of a " Victory of the British Troops over the French Army of Egypt, on the 21st March, 1801," so that 1780, usually given as the date of his death, is clearly not correct, and it has been questioned by Redgrave also. His finish is able, and many of his prints very pleasing ; he worked after Collett and other imitators of Hogarth, and produced several works designed and painted by himself, some of them being severely satirical on the style of dress and manners of the period. 1.

His prints are dated from 1776 to 1789, from three successive addresses in Soho; in the last of these a fire occurred which destroyed nearly all his plates and stock of prints. The character of his work is delicacy of execution, carried to such an extent that, to a superficial observer, his prints seem faint. They are, however, most clear and artistic ; there is nothing in them to cor- roborate his being a pupil of Green's ; but they show a connection with J. Walker, and it is worthy of remark, that Dean and Walker have been most successful in their renderings of the exquisite paintings of Romney. Dean engraved many subject pieces after Reynolds, Hoppner, Morland, and others ; but they cannot be distinctly characterised as portraits, although some may possibly be so. i6o DEAN. There is a print of " Miriam," from a design by Dean, engraved by Dickinson, published by J. Dean, Berwick-street, Soho, 23th August, 1805. Query, therefore, above date of his death. 1.

He had then commenced engraving in mezzotint©, mostly caricatures, and portraits after R. E. Pine, published chiefly by Carington Bowles"; in 1773 he commenced to publish his own works from Litchfield-street, Soho, afterwards, 180, Strand, and between 1774 and 1778, from Henrietta- street, Covent Garden, many of his productions then being amongst the most brilliant specimens of the art — powerful, full of colour, excellent in drawing, and rendering of the touches of the painters, amongst whom were Reynolds, Romney, and Peters ; about 1776 he connected himself with Thomas Watson, and they became partners at 158, New Bond-street, in 1778, and produced many capital works, some being in the stipple method, which was much the fashion at the time ; Dickinson remained there after Watson's death for some years, but then appears rather to have applied himself to the business of a printseller than to his improvement as an artist ; the address, 24, Old Bond-street, appears in 1791. He afterwards removed to Paris, where he engraved a large picture of the King of Saxony, dated 181 1, and others after Gerard, which do not appear to have been published in England, although some dated subsequently were ; he died at Paris in the summer of 1823. 1.

She survived her husband many years, dying in 1837. The child may probably be her son, afterwards Lieut. -Gen. Sir Charles Imhoff, who was heir to Hastings ; and died in 1853, aged 86.

Northcote, in his life of that master, states that in 1775, he was placed by Mr. Mason under the tuition of Reynolds, and remained in his house about three years ; he then went to Ireland as a portrait painter, but not succeeding, returned to London, much depressed; in 1780, he married Margaret Joy, a ser- vant in Sir Joshua's house, and with her started for Bengal ; but the ship, being captured by the French and Spanish squadron, was taken to Lisbon ; there he died, and his widow continuing her voyage to India, where she had friends, also died just after her arrival. His mezzotinto prints being dated mostly 1779, he appears to have practised this art in the interval between his return from Ireland and his departure for Bengal, and he succeeded in producing works of the highest artistic excellence, nearly all after Reynolds. 1.

ROBERT DUNKARTON is stated by Redgrave to have been born in London, in 1744, and to have been a pupil of Pether. He practised as a portrait painter at first, but discontinued exhibiting after 1779. His works in mezzotinto are in a clear, finished style; they bear dates from 1770 to 181 1, and many of the book illustrations were probably subsequent ; it is, therefore, incorrect to place, as Red- grave does, his death towards the close of the last century. As his name is not mentioned in the Annals of the Fine Arts for 181 7, he had probably died before that year. 1. Henry AddlugtOU. COPLEY. W.

GAINSBOROUGH DUPONT was born in 1767, being the ma- ternal nephew and pupil of Thomas Gainsborough ; and, although he lost this advantage when only one-and-twenty, his paintings are not quite unworthy of his teaching. He died at his house in Fitzroy- square, Jan. 20th, 1797. The writers on English Art do not mention him as an engraver. 238 DUPONT. Nagler attributes two of the following pieces to Peter Dupont (who knew nothing of Gainsborough's art, and nothing of mezzotinto engraving), and the error has actually been followed by Redgrave. It is not enough to say that Dupont rendered Gainsborough's man- ner well in these engravings ; they show that he was imbued with his very spirit, from the touching of the hair to the exquisite details of the costume ; indeed, were it not that some of them are dated after T. Gainsborough's death, one might suppose them touched by his hand. Had Dupont lived longer, and produced numerous engravings after his uncle's pictures, and brought them forward to public notice, it might have been that general opinion would not have given to Rey- nolds the first place as painter of graceful and elegant English women. 1.

The picture was painted for a panel of the Prince of Wales's state room, at Carlton House, and was sent with others to the Exhibition of the Royal Academy in 1784, Gainsborough requesting that it should be hung at the height which it was intended to be permanently fixed at ; it was, however, placed much higher, and the effect of the tender and delicate colouring almost destroyed ; in consequence, the painter withdrew his performances, and never again sent a picture to the Aca- demy. In more recent times this exquisite work has unfortunately been cut down, so that the painter can be now better appreciated from the print than from what remains of his own work. 6. George III. id.

RICHARD EARLOM was born in 1743; his father was parish clerk of St. Sepulchre ; he became a pupil of Cipriani, but soon de- EARLOM. 243 voted himself to mezzotinto engraving, in which art he is said to have been self-taught. He died in Exmouth-street, Clerkenwell, Oct. gth, 1822. His talents were not, as in the instances of nearly all the other mezzo- tinto engravers, principally devoted to portraits after the painters of his own time, for he laboured most assiduously to reproduce the works of the older masters in this style of engraving. Although he overcame many dif^culties (some of his prints, such as his fruit and flower pieces, after Van Huysum, being very much admired) ; he cannot, on the whole, be considered to have been successful in proving mezzotinto the best style of engraving for all descriptions of painting. He also produced a few works in the stipple manner.

Sir John Trevor, according to Burnet, was the channel through whom the Tory party was managed by William III., and would there- fore have been likely to have placed his daughter M'ith Mary II. 312 FABER, JuN.

Barney appears in this work at all, for in reality none of his knowa prints were engraved before the close of the eighteenth century, as would have been the case had the date, 1800, been correct. His merit, however, entitles his works to full notice somewhere ; so the error may not be amiss after all. 12. After description add — I.

Grace Dalrymple, born in Scotland about i7f)5 ; was the youngest of the three daughters of Hew Dalrymple, who is said to have been related to the Stair family, and was one of the barristers in the Douglas and Hamilton case (see page 550) ; afterwards attorney- general to the Grenadas. She was educated at a convent in France, and when fifteen returned to her father's house, where, at a supper, Dr. Elliot (a man older than her father, and who was created a baronet in 1778, and died at Lord Melbourne's seat, Brockett Hall, 7th Nov., 1786) saw, and so admired her, that he offered marriage, and was ac- cepted. When brought into society, this young and lovely woman, unsuitably married, and ignorant of the world, yielded to temptation, and her husband procured a divorce and obtained large damages from her seducer. She was then brought to France by her brother, but came back to England with Lord Cholmondeley (in possession of whose family the original picture remains), and met the Prince of Wales, who became much attached to her, and she had a daughter who was mar- ried, in 1808, to Lord Charles Bentinck, and died in 1813. About 1786, she again went to France, and was acquainted with the Duke of Or- leans ; the Revolution soon afterwards commencing, she kept a most interesting diary of events, which was published in London by Bentley, in 1859.
