From October 1801 onward, it was known as the Batavian Commonwealth (Dutch: Bataafs Gemenebest).

[ff. 15]. with half-title. title in red & black. 25 wood-engraved plates on Japanese paper, signed by the artists, laid into individual mounts. tissue guards with legends. contemporary half morocco, all edges gilt (rubbed, extremities chipped, some plates wrinkled). First Edition, Limited to 112 copies, signed by the publishers. "The real work in a fine wood-engraving is seldom revealed by ordinary printingHere all that is in the block is presented, and the translucent Japanese paper, with its silk-like texture, adapts itself admirably to the fine velvet tone of the ink. Add to this the loose mounting, which causes the engraving to cast a shadow on the white paper underneath, thereby softening, refining and enriching the tone of the whole, and it will be perceived that a secret of the art is being for the first time formally shared with such part of the world abroad as that to which this work shall fall." (Introduction) This handsome work contains twenty-five fine wood-engravings by Victor Bernstrom, W.B.Closson, Timothjy Cole, John P.Davis, Frank French, T.Johnson, F.S.Kingsley, G.Kruell, R.A.Muller C.A.Powell, S.G.Putnam, John Tinkey, F.H.Wellington and Henry Wolf.

Original copper engraving (44 x 60 cm, overall sheet 55.5 x 68 cm). Tissue guard to verso. Some foxing to lower margin, not affecting plate. From "A Collection of Prints. Illustrating the Dramatic Works of Shakespeare." published by Boydell, London, 1803. In 1789, the publisher John Boydell opened the Shakespeare Gallery, an exhibition space in London's Pall Mall showcasing paintings that exclusively represented scenes from Shakespeare's plays. The Gallery was a bid to revive 'history painting' (the practice of depicting scenes from the Bible, mythology or the classics) in contemporary British art, a genre thought to be of great public benefit because of its morally instructive messages. What better unifying theme for such a project than the works of Shakespeare, which had become so popular and so integral to British identity by the mid-18th century? The Gallery opened in May 1789 with 34 canvases by 18 British artists. By the next year there were 55 paintings and in 1796 the total was 84, along with dozens of 'Small Pictures'. Once the exhibition was mounted, reproductive engravings of the paintings produced by an in-house team of 46 printmakers were available to purchase, either as a large portfolio of 90 prints or as a luxurious illustrated edition of the plays.

Zustand: Good. Color aquatint. Framed by Vandevoorde, Paris. 407 x 505mm. sheet size. 311x 400 mm. image size wtihout text.From the series: Portraits of the Winning Horses of the Great St. Leger Stakes at Doncaster.,John Frederick Herring Sr. was an English sporting and equestrian painter. It is said that before becoming an artist, he drove a stagecoach. Whether or not this is true, it is evident from his paintings that he was deeply familiar with horses, their posture and personalities, and the specific details of their surroundings. He specialized in painting English thoroughbred racehorses and farmyard scenes such as these, and they were frequently made into prints. His son, J.F. Herring, Jr., continued the family tradition, painting similar horse and sporting scenes.Charles Hunt was a British engraver of horse and sporting subjects active during the 19th century. He came from a family of engravers and was noted for his fine engravings after Pollard, Alken, Herring and other painters working in the genre.Tooley, 261; Lane, British Racing Prints p.121; Mellon British Sporting and Animal Prints p.94; Siltzer pp. 145-147.…
