Description
Title from later state; see: Smith, J.C. British mezzotinto portraits.
State from: Smith, J.C. British mezzotinto portraits.
Sheet trimmed to plate mark leaving thread margins.
Engraved after the painting, now in the National Gallery of Scotland (NG 2171), that was kept by Horace Walpole in the Great Parlour (Refectory) at Strawberry Hill.
Formerly laid in Horace Walpole's extra-illustrated copy of his: A description of the villa of Mr. Horace Walpole. Strawberry Hill : Printed by Thomas Kirgate, 1784. See Hazen, A.T. Bibliography of the Strawberry Hill Press (1973 ed.), no. 30, copy 12.
A note in pencil on verso, possibly in Frank T. Sabin's hand, mentions "Fritz Reiss Sale, 2900 guineas at Christies", in reference to the sale of another impression of the print in 1923. A second note below, in the same hand but likely written at a different time, asserts that this is the "finest impression of the 1st state known, specially selected by Horace Walpole, for whom the original picture was painted, & inserted by him in his own enlarged & illustrated catalogue of the pictures at Strawberry Hill".
Provenance
Sabin; 1939. Strawberry Hill sale, viii, 33. London, 1123. Later owned by William Knight. Sotheby's, 30 July 1919 (Col. Fellows Sale), lot 159, to Sabin, who removed this print from the volume and sold it separately to W.S Lewis in 1939.
