 INTRODUCTION. 
 
 J UST a century has passed away since one of the most distinguished 
 ornaments of the Art of Engraving died. During that period 
 little has been written respecting him. Until the year 1852, no 
 reliable list of his works existed. The curious could have acquired 
 a few facts respecting them from Magazines, from Collections of Anecdotes 
 or from Sale Catalogues. 
 
 Previously to Nagler’s list in Vol. XXII. of the Kiinstler -Lexicon, p. 75, 
 where twelve pages are devoted to Woollett, few details had been recorded 
 concerning either his life, or his works. Some exception must be admitted 
 in favour of Adam Bartsch, however, who drew attention (Anleitung zur 
 Kupferstichkunde, Vol. I., p. 229, Vienna, 1821, 8° ) to Woollett’s special 
 and admirable characteristics in respect to technical engraving and to the 
 high opinion which had formerly been held of the productions of this Master. 
 An interval appears to have followed, in which Woollett’s merits were 
 somewhat at a discount. But reaction supervened, as might have beer- 
 expected, and the engraver of the “ Death of General Wolfe,” and of the 
 “ Battle at La Hogue,” was again appreciated at his proper value. 
 
 The eminent man now under consideration was born at Maidstone, in 
 Kent, on the 15th of August, 1735. Like all the great favourites of genius, 
 he early evinced a propensity to Art. To education Woollett owed little, and 
 he is one of the very few English artists of fame who never were indebted 
 to foreign travel, for his whole life was spent in London, where he secured 
 the applause of his contemporaries and the admiration of succeeding ages. 
 
 V 
 
He was the son of Philip Woollett, a flax-dresser, at Maidstone. 
 I.ainprey, in his account of that town, published in 1834, records the place of 
 William Woollett's birth “as the house in King-street, on the eastern-side 
 of the passage leading to Mr. Duke’s Alms houses.” 
 
 Philip Woollett b(donged to a small party of tradesmen, residing at 
 iUaidstone, consisting of twelve members, who met in the evening at a small 
 tavern known as the “ Ship.” Upon one occasion they all subscribed and 
 purchased a lottery ticket, which, being drawn, a ^5,000 prize, was divided 
 among the twelve members equally. Philip Woollett suffered from asthma, 
 and the dust from the flax being prejudicial to his health, he upon this acquisi- 
 tion hired a public-house or porter-shop — which was frequented b}^ the most 
 respectable tradesmen in the town — called the “ Turk’s Head,” in the Rose 
 Yard. He was now enabled to put out his son as an apprentice, which he 
 did to an engraver, in consequence of his son having scratched a Turk’s 
 Head on a pewter pot. His first master was John Tmney, who worked and 
 sold prints at the Carv’d Golden Lion, in Fleet Street, about 1740-50, Tinney 
 is best known as Woollett’s master. 
 
 The following extract from some MS. notes, preserved in the British 
 Museum,* collected by Mr. William Alexander,f of Maidstone, Artist and 
 Keeper of the Department of Prints and Drawings, in the British Museum, 
 will be read with interest: — ‘‘ His father was a thread-maker, a long time 
 foreman to Mr. Robert Pope ; the family originally came from Holland. A 
 tradition prevails that the great grandfather of Woollett escaped from the 
 battle fought by the royalists against the parliamentary forces at Maidstone, 
 and that he escaped by swimming over the river to his residence at Tovil. 
 An uncle called “ Mouse Woollett ” sat on the commonalty barge as the man 
 in armour. An uncle was clerk to Peter Athawes (father of Samuel 
 Athawes) + a tobacconist of Abchurcli Lane, London, now living at 
 Swallowfield, near Reading. A cousin is now living in low circumstances 
 at Peckham Rye, near London, A nephew of Woollett often visits the above 
 Mr. Athawes. A drawing of his was shown by a merchant to Mr Tinney, 
 engraver of London, who afterwards took him as an apprentice. Woollett 
 made a drawing of an Englishman holding the horns of a cowand a French- 
 man the tail, while a Dutchman is milking it. Woollett was very near 
 sighted, and worked with a glass in his hand and could hardly distinguish a 
 cow from a horse.” 
 
 The youth on his arrival in London, became a member of the St. 
 
 * Dept, of MSS. Add. 8836-7-8. 
 t Born, April loth, 1767, and died July 23rd, 1816. 
 
 J He died at Kingsbridge Cottage, near Reading, May 20th, 1822, aged 88. His portrait was painted 
 and engraved by J. R. Smith, and published in 1805. Samuel Athawes's Collection of Prints, etc., sold at King's, 
 London, on Thursday, February 14th, 1799 (3 days). There is in the Museum, at Maidstone, a drawing by 
 Woollett described as, “ the last drawing the famous Mr. William. Woollett made of a House Mr. Athawes lives 
 in at Remenham, near Henley-upon-Thames." (Dim. lo^ in. x 7 in.) A view of Athawes’ house, Kent, engraved 
 by Samuel Smith (Dim. ii^ in. x in.) is in tlie British Museum.

Martin’s Lane Academy, where we learn that he early distinguished himself. 
 John Hall,* * * § the engraver, and friend of Woollett, describes him as being 
 below the middle stature, extremely simple, unpretending in manner and 
 demeanour. In the year 1766, he joined the Incorporated Society of Artists 
 of Great Britain, and for several years was its Secretary, which appointment 
 he resigned about 177.^. 
 
 Woollett’s first work of importance, and, indeed, the first great English 
 work of the kind appeared in 1761. The subject was XIOBE, after Richard 
 Wilson, t It was engraved for Boydell, and produced the sum of ;^2,ooo. Its 
 sale abroad, the late John Pye,+ tells us, “ left no doubt in the mind of foreign 
 connoisseurs in dissipating at this early period in the history of British Art, the 
 delusive theory so often promulgated by French and German philosophers, 
 as to the impossibility of rearing talent in the Fine Arts amidst the fogs of 
 Great Britain.” 
 
 The history of this plate may be best told in the words of Boydell who 
 related it to Mr. John Thomas Smith. § by whom it was printed in his 
 “ Life of Nollekens, and his Times,” London, 1828, 82: (Vol. II. p. 251.) 
 
 “At this time, the principal conversation among artists was upon 
 Mr. Wilson’s grand picture of NIOBE, which had just arrived from Rome. I, 
 therefore, immediately applied to His Royal Highness the Duke of Gloucester, 
 its owner, and procured permission for Woollett to engrave it. But before 
 he ventured upon the task, I requested to know what idea he had as to the 
 expense, and, after some consideration, he said he thought he could engrave 
 it for one hundred guineas. This sum, small as it may now appear, was to 
 me an unheard-of price, being considerably more than I had given for any 
 copper-plate. However, serious as the sum was, I bade him get to work, 
 and he proceeded with all possible cheerfulness, for, as he went on, I advanced 
 him money ; and though he lost no time I found that he had received nearly 
 the whole amount before he had half-finished the task. I frequently called 
 upon him, and found him struggling with serious difficulties, with his wife 
 and family in an upper lodging in Green’s Court, Castle-street, Leicester- 
 fields; for there he lived before he went into Green-street. However, I en- 
 couraged him by allowing him to draw upon me to the extent of ^25 more ; 
 and, at length, that sum was paid, and I was unavoidably under the necessity 
 of saying, ‘ Mr. Woollett, I find we have made too close a bargain with each 
 other ; you have exerted yourself, and I fear I have gone beyond my strength, 
 or, indeed, what I ought to have risked, as we neither of us can be aware of 
 the success of the speculation. However, I am determined whatever the 
 event may be. to enable you to finish it to your wish ; at least to allow you

to work upon it as long as another _^25 can extend, but there we positively 
 must stop.’ The plate was finished ; and, after taking a very few proofs, 
 I published the print at five shillings, and it succeeded so much beyond my 
 expectation, that I immediately employed Mr. Woollett upon another 
 engraving from another picture by Wilson ; and I am now thoroughly con- 
 vinced that had I continued in publishing subjects of their description, my 
 fortune would have been increased tenfold.” 
 
 Here it is interesting to note that in the London Magazine or. Gentle^ 
 man's Monthly Litelligencer, Vol. XXX., 1761, p. 701, appeared the following 
 lines on the print of Niobe : — 
 
 The scene by Wilson’s noble skill display’d 
 In all the force of magick, light and shade : 
 
 A fiery tempest darting from the sky, 
 
 In peals proclaiming sure destruction nigh : 
 
 Dire vengeance by Latona’s offspring shed 
 On hapless Niobe’s devoted head : 
 
 Her sons and daughters sharing the like fate, 
 
 Transfix’d ! pale objects of immortal hate : 
 
 Strongly thy master-strokes these woes impart, 
 
 Far as can reach thy imitative art. 
 
 Oft had our youth, their progress to advance 
 In elegance of graving, pass’d to France. 
 
 With genius, and a willing mind endu’d. 
 
 Their darling studies closely they pursu’d : 
 
 Taste they, thro’ all her varying rounds, did trace. 
 
 And found the secret source of ev’ry grace : 
 
 Then rich in skill, quitted the banks of Seine, 
 
 And, to our blissful land, return’d again. 
 
 Here they new lights held forth ; disclos'd each rule ; 
 
 Here, emulous, they form’d an English school. 
 
 Which, animated by the royal smile. 
 
 Must flourish, and do honoui to our isle. 
 
 In fame it now with that of Paris vies. 
 
 And may, in time, still more resplendent rise. 
 
 Woollett, proceed : On thy lov’d art reline : 
 
 Proceed ; and just eulogiums will be thine. 
 
 J. Lockman. 
 
 Alderman John Boydell was born on the 19th of January, 1719, at 
 Dorington, near Ower, Shropshire, It may not be irrelevant to give a short 
 sketch of his life as connected with the subject of our memoir and with the 
 Fine Arts. His father was a land surveyor ; he intended his son to be 
 brought up to his own profession, but the lad’s desire was to be an engraver, 
 and he communicated his wish to his father, who discouraged the project. 
 Genuine enthusiasm, however, is seldom trammelled by the dictates of 
 
 viii 
 
prudence — at the age of 21, young Boydell walked up to London, sought an 
 interview with William Henry Toms, the engraver, and bound himself 
 apprentice to him for seven years. 
 
 He was now launched in the ocean of life, and commenced business on 
 his own account. His first publication was six small landscapes, which he 
 sold for a shilling each, these he stitched together, and the book was called 
 The Bridge Book, as a bridge was introduced in the scenery of each plate. 
 His exertions continued unremitting, and by continued application, he 
 executed one hundred and fifty-two landscapes ; these he collected into a 
 portfolio and sold them for five guineas the set. Boydell used to say with 
 pride, in after life, that it was the only book which had made a Lord Mayor 
 of London. 
 
 He now resolved to abandon the pursuit of his art and, by liberal 
 encouragement, to secure the services of the first talent of the country. In 
 Woollett he found an artist who realized all his wishes. The celebrity of his 
 plates enabled Boydell to establish a correspondence with eminent foreign 
 printsellers. Large sums of money were remitted from the Continent 
 annually for the purchase of prints — and England became an exporting 
 country ; the balance of trade being largely in her favour. 
 
 The following extract from a speech delivered in the House of Lords, 
 by the Earl of Suffolk, on the 13th of March, 1803-1 804, corroborates the 
 above statement : — 
 
 “ On the motion for the first reading of Boydell’s Lottery Bill,* the Earl of Suffolk 
 rose, not, he said, to oppose the Bill, but he could not pass by the opportunity 
 which it afforded him of warning the artists of this country of the great injury 
 which they were doing, both to their own character and interest, and to the 
 interests of the country, by the slovenly manner in which most of the works of 
 art in this country were now executed. He stated it to be a fact, that in conse- 
 quence of the very superior execution of the print of the Death of Captain Cook,t 
 by Woollett, and of the Battle of La Hogue, English engravings had risen to a 
 high reputation on the Continent. So much was this the case, that for tne 
 former of these engravings, Woollett received between ;^5,ooo and ^7,000, and 
 the revenue coming to this country from this branch of art, at one time exceeded 
 yj2oo,ooo per annum.” 
 
 On the 5th of August, 1782, Boydell was elected Alderman of the 
 Ward of Cheap. In November, 1786, he met at a dinner party Benjamin 
 West, George Romney, + Paul Sandby, Hayley the poet, and Hoole the 
 translator of Ariosto and Tasso. In such a company the Fine Arts formed 
 a large part of the conversation — the Alderman was complimented on the 
 
 * In 1804, Boydell obtained the sanction of Parliament to dispose of his Art property by lottery. The 
 Gallery fell to the share of Mr. Tassie, modeller, of Leicester-square, who died in t86r. Boydell had spent 
 ,^500,000 in plates for prize prints, ^^46,266 in pictures and drawings, and _,^3o,ooo in the Shakespeare Gallery. 
 The lottery was drawn in 1805.

liberal encouragement he had given to the Art of Engraving. In acknow- 
 ledging the compliment, he said he was not yet satisfied with his efforts, and 
 that notwithstanding his age. he still cherished the ambition to refute the 
 stigma cast upon English artists by foreigners, that England possessed no 
 genius for historical painting. This observation was received with acclamation ; 
 and in December of the same year the plan of the well-known Boydell’s 
 edition of Shakespeare was matured and a prospectus issued. In 1803, the 
 publishers printed a catalogue of the plates which formed their stock, and 
 which ran to forty-eight volumes. Among the artists employed were 
 Smirke, Hamilton, Reynolds, West, Fuseli, Wheatley, Wilson, Stothard, 
 Romney, etc. ; among the engravers, James Fittler, Mason, W. Sharpe, 
 Heath, Hall, J. Smith, V. Green, Bartolozzi, Earlom, etc. John Boydell was 
 elected Lord Mayor of London in 1790, and died on the iith ol December, 
 1804, aged 85. 
 
 To return to Woollett, whose fame was now well established. He was 
 appointed on the 27th of November, 1775, Engraver in Ordinary to His 
 Majesty, King George HI,* i.e. while engaged on his chef-d’ceiivre, the 
 *• Death of General Wolfe,” published on the ist of January, 1776. 
 
 What occurred to this plate is related in the subjoined manuscript 
 note, preserved in the Department of Prints and Drawings, British 
 IMuseum. 
 
 “ This excellent prooff was purchased at Dr. Peart’s sale.f whose discrimination was 
 most exact. It was purchased by him at the price of thirty-six guineas, the precise price it 
 produced at his sale. It then became the property of Mr. W. Cattley,§ at whose sale I 
 re-purchased it. 
 
 “ The plate is extremely rare in its original state, in consequence of an accident which 
 occurred during the first proving by the folly and inadvertence of Mrs. Hocquet's son. The 
 entire relation of this affair is appended to a proof in tlie possession of D. Mackintosh, || Esq., 
 attested by the man who at the time of its occurrence was an apprentice to Mr. Hadrill, 
 printer, and who at this period is in my employ. 
 
 “ This impression is, to the best of my knowledge, the finest finished impression in 
 existence, and is one of the very few uninjured proofs that were taken. It is the more to be 
 desired as the injury was inflicted on the fiace of General Wolfe.

“ A copy of the original attestation signed also with the autograph of Matthews is at 
 the back of this paper.” 
 
 “ I, Joseph Matthews, was apprentice to Mr. Hadrill, residing at No. 8, Rupert Street, 
 Coventry Street, and during my apprenticeship, Mr. H. was employed to print many plates 
 engraved by Mr. Woollett, who was very partial to Mr. H.’s talent as a printer. — Among 
 others, ‘ The Roman Edifices in Ruins,’ ‘ The Maid of the Mill.’ ‘ The Fishery,’ ‘ The Battle 
 at the Hogue ’ and ‘The Four Shooting Pieces ’ were printed by Mr. Hadrill. — When the 
 plate of the ‘ Death of General Wolfe ’ was in the course of engraving, Mr. Hadrill pulled all 
 the proofs for Mr. Woollett and was promised the printing of the plate when it should be 
 printed for publication. This plate, however, not being the entire property of Mr. Woollett, 
 he was obliged to consent to the introduction of Mrs. Hocquet, who, by the interest of 
 Mr. Bartolozzi had been strenuously recommended to Mr. West as the proper person to whom 
 so valuable a plate should be intrusted. 
 
 ‘‘Inconsequence of this arrangement Mrs. Hocquet received the plate, and had just 
 began to pull the first proofs, when, leaving the press for some domestic arrangement, the 
 son, who assisted her in pulling the press and filling in, seating himself on the press plank 
 took up a hammer, and beginning to strike, said, ‘ I could soon be the Death of Wolfe.’ 
 This proved to be a luckless word for no sooner was it uttered than the hammer fell u;pon the 
 face of Wolfe, and thus the finest part of this fine plate was destroyed. 
 
 ‘‘ Mr. Woollett came to Mr. Hadrill to express his deep regret that the plate had been 
 taken out of his (Mr. Hadrill’s) hands, and so great was his own mortification — to have, as 
 he expressed it, his finest work destroyed that he wejit. 
 
 “Joseph Matthews. 
 
 “ Oct. 5th, 1824. Witness A. M. Huffam.” 
 
 “ Matthews related this anecdote to me, and told me that young Hocquet’s expression 
 
 when he took up the hammer was, ‘ General Wolfe is dying, and I’ll be d d if I don’t 
 
 kill him quite.” 
 
 “ G. Baker.”* 
 
 The demand for this print surpassed the most sanguine expectations 
 of its proprietors — they were Boydell, and William Wynne Ryland,f besides 
 Woollett himself, who watched over the reputation this work acquired for 
 him, by superintending the printing of it, and by giving the plate such 
 occasional labour as was necessary to enable it to answer the demand. And 
 thus the sale of the print went on, proofs and impressions commanding pro- 
 gressively increasing prices, till his death, when the entire property of the 
 plate passed into the hands of Boydell. 
 
 The writing on the margin of it was then taken out, the subject re- 
 touched, and in this repaired state open-letters were again introduced and 
 impressions from the plate sold. In lyqi the imposition was discovered ; it 
 gave rise to a letter that was printed and circulated among artists and 
 amateurs, of which the following is a copy : — 
 
 * George Baker was the son of the Rev. Thomas Baker, Vicar of Hungerford, in the County of Berks, 
 where he was born in January, 1747, and died in London, February 7th, 1811. His collection was sold at 
 Sotheby's. June 6th, 1825. (3 days.) "With him the names of either Woollett or Hogarth formed an irresis- 
 
 tible talisman ; and his collection of the works of those engravers may be considered as eminently rich, and, 
 probably, matchless.”

 "From the Banks of the Stygian Lake, 1791. 
 
 “ My Lord, 
 
 “ It is rumoured by the numberless shades of famished artists who 
 daily arrive in these gloomy regions, that an attack has been made upon the 
 reputation I left in the upper world, of a nature so grievous, that, even at 
 this distance from the busy scenes of life, it has quite destroyed my peace, 
 and hindered me from passing into the happy bowers of Elysium ; the grim 
 ferryman refusing me a passage from these dreary shores, till my ‘ perturbed 
 spirit is at rest ’ 
 
 “ O my Lord ! have pity upon a ‘ poor ghost,’ and revenge its injuries ! 
 The Death of General Woife ! Ah ! there’s the cause of all my sorrows ! 
 Would your Lordship believe it, that all the shades of those artists who are 
 passing hourly into the mansions of eternal peace, who have exhausted their 
 vital principle to ennoble the arts, or have expired in gaols, or died martyrs, 
 to enrich carvers and gilders, and stationers, and printsellers, and trading 
 Maecenases and manufacturing adventurers, alLall-all din in my ears, as they 
 pass by me, that the work on which I spent my health, to which I sacrificed 
 all earthly comforts, and prematurely deprived myself of the light of the sun 
 has, since my departure, been most basely butchered ! That my unwearied 
 efforts to rescue the arts in Britain from contempt and obloquy, and the 
 beginning I made to a new and inexhaustible source of dignified commerce 
 to my country, has been rewarded by having the humble sprig of bay, 
 which I had gained by years of laborious industry, most barbarously torn 
 away from my scarce cold corpse. That those works which were my best, 
 have fallen into mercenary hands, who, from views the most mean and 
 despicable, have caused them to be retouched by a miserable botcher in so 
 vile a manner that, if I could ‘ again revisit the glimpses of the moon,’ I 
 should not know what was once the execution of my own hands. Nay, to 
 increase my torture, a newly arrived shade even now whispers in my ear, 
 that (oh, infamous allusion ! ) the writing has been erased, and false proofs 
 have been taken off, and foisted upon the public as originals, with my own 
 name, the title, the date, and the original publisher’s names, all shamefully, 
 pirated and copied from those I struck off in the year 1776. Oh, my Lord, 
 let me conjure you, by the zeal you are said to manifest towards the arts, to 
 use the powers which you are so happily vested with to root out and expose 
 to public detestation the man who, divested of every principle of humanity, 
 every respect for the arts, and every impulse of honour, could thus stab the 
 memory of one who never wished for other reputation than what was founded 
 upon honest endeavour; of one who never envied the praise or detracted

 from the character of another ; nor ever brought disgrace upon his profession 
 by tricking and imposition, 
 
 “I am convinced what must be your Lordship’s sensations on reading 
 the above recital, and how much your generous nature must be shocked on 
 being informed that actions of so black a dye should appear in the circle of 
 the arts ; but, at the same time, I am sensible how particularly happy you 
 will esteem yourself on being informed that you are, above all, the most 
 proper for bringing this unprecedented iniquity to light and punishing it. 
 First, As having been yourself an artist of the very first abilities, you, 
 particularly, will feel the extent of the injury done. Secondly, As being the 
 most likely to find out the base depredator, from your situation as a merchant, 
 and your employing every person in the line of the arts (whom you can agree 
 with), it is most likely that the shameless wretch may not long remain 
 undiscovered, provided your Lordship makes a strict search. And thirdly. 
 As your faithful and truly able discharge of the duties of a chief magistrate 
 insure immediate redress to the injured, I will not intrude further upon 
 your Lordship’s time, well knowing that you will not require any incentive 
 to act with justice and honour ; therefore I shall not attempt any appeal to 
 your feelings in order to urge you on in the pursuit, nor call to your remem- 
 brance that your petitioner was once the friend of your heart ; that he is 
 ‘ gone to that bourn from which no traveller returns that he is now no 
 longer able to defend a reputation he valued more than life from the attacks 
 of the mercenary and the base; or that, while dying, he consoled his parting 
 spirit with the assurance that you, my Lord, who had so often acknowledged 
 him not only as your friend, but as your greatest benefactor, and had 
 repeatedly confessed (with the modesty peculiar to true greatness) the 
 poverty of yourself and all your relatives, before you were furnished with 
 those works of his which laid the foundation of all your present greatness, — 
 I say. My Lord, I will not urge any of these considerations to push you on in 
 the pursuit of justice, well knowing that ‘to do good and to walk humbly’ is 
 your highest delight ; and that ‘ to do unto others as you would have them 
 do to you,’ is your constant maxim. I therefore humbly take my leave for 
 the present, trusting in your Lordship’s goodness, and hoping that the money 
 you have lately so generously subscribed towards erecting a monument to 
 my memory, on account of my having executed those very works which have 
 since been so basely spoiled, will be now applied towards bringing to condign 
 punishment the wretch who has so shamefully imposed on the liberality of a 
 generous public, and who, by cruelly defacing the print of ‘ The Death of 
 General Wolfe,’ has destroyed for ever the only monument desired by the 
 injured.

 “ William Woollett.” 
 
In placing the works of Woollett in the first-class of the School of 
 Engraving,* British or otherwise, it will be proper to observe that no artist’s 
 works were more exclusively his own. Historical engraving includes every 
 kind of object which can, by art, be presented to the sight, and of course 
 requires a knowledge of their form and texture, in an equal degree with that 
 requisite to the painter of history. But it is not only with the form and 
 texture of the object that an engraver must be acquainted ; he has to pursue 
 a process far more difficult than that of the painter, to accomplish his 
 object : — every variety of character, every kind of substance, solid or trans- 
 parent, must be expressed by lines or points, and it is in their skilful 
 arrangement that the taste and powers of the engraver are shown. His 
 education must be in the same school as that of the painter; he must have 
 a perfect acquaintance with anatomy and perspective. The painter devotes 
 himself to delineating the pictures formed in his own mind, and conveys to 
 the spectator the same impression of colour, which he has conceived, as also 
 all the varied changes which light and air produce in a landscape. If the 
 mind of the colourist is exclusively occupied in the first conception of his 
 picture, that of the engraver is equally absorbed when reflecting on the mode 
 best calculated to produce the proper effect by the arrangement of his lines, 
 ere he ventures to place them on the copper, whether they stand forward in 
 bold relief, or are mellowed by reflected or borrowed light — in short to convey 
 to the eye the various gradations of colours, which have been expressed by 
 the artist on the canvas. 
 
 It was at a meeting of artists held at the Turk’s Head Tavern, in 
 Gerrard Street, Soho,f when the bottle had circulated freely and the glee of 
 the company was manifested by repeated peals of laughter, — that one 
 peculiarly pointed jest raised the tone of mirth to its highest pitch, when 
 Woollett inquired of Mortimer what had occasioned the mirth. 
 
 ‘‘Here,” said Mortimer, “is Woollett asking what we have been 
 laughing at.” 
 
 ‘ I was thinking,” replied Woollett, “ which way I should lay the lines 
 of the coat of General Wolfe.” 
 
 There is nothing perhaps so satisfactory, after thoroughly acquainting 
 ourselves with a beautiful picture, as to possess an engraving of it ; the 
 roundness of the form displayed in the figures, the adjustment of the drapery. 
 
 * Longhi, (La Calcografia. Milano, 1830. p. 226). “ In his works he exhibits so much artistic mastery, 
 
 so much vivacity and boldness of touch, so much force and harmony of chiaro-oscuro, so much truth, in fact, and 
 so mucii historical illusion, that he was for all contemporary engravers, and is for those of the present day, the 
 marvel and the example.

 t Once the celebrated rendezvous of Johnson, Goldsmith, Burke, Garrick and other luminaries who formed 
 the memorable Literary Club. At the same time that the meetings of these literati were held on the first floor, a 
 coterie of artists and amateurs were wont to assemble in the ground floor brneath, Hogarth, Wilson, Reynolds, 
 West, Ramsay, Mortimer, Zoffany, Zuccarelli and other painters ; Woollett, Strange, Vivares, Brown, Bazire 
 and other engravers. In this Tavern, the earliest concl.ave was held to cogitate upon the important question of 
 the utility of a National Academy for the promotion of the arts of painting and sculpture ; and from thence 
 resulted the St. Martin's Lane Academy, the Exhibitions of the .Society of Artists, and the Royal Academy.

the distant background with its clear and fleecy clouds, which under the 
 skilful hand of the graver, present all the beautiful and striking colouring of 
 the master. 
 
 Few persons know the continuous labour that must be unsparingly 
 given for months together to a copper-plate, and well may the engraver 
 be anxiously careful of each step he takes ere the advance becomes an 
 error — a slight alteration may be the work of weeks, nay, months. An 
 instance in the practice of Woollett will exemplify this. 
 
 Woollett, after engraving “The Battle at La Hogue,” waited on 
 Benjamin West with a finished proof. The painter expressed himself highly 
 satisfied with it, but remarked, “ If a little more colour could be given to one 
 part, and a little alteration in the light to others, it would improve the 
 appearance of the plate.” And taking out his port-crayon, he marked in 
 black-and-wLite chalk what he meant. The engraver immediately consented 
 to make the desired additions. “ But how long will it take you, Mr. 
 Woollett?” said West. “ Oh— about three or four months," was the reply. 
 “ And the patient creature,” said West, “ actually went through the 
 additional labour without a murmur.” 
 
 Woollett resided for many years at No. ii, Green Street, Leicester 
 Square, where it is traditionally said that he was in the habit of firing a 
 cannon from the roof whenever he completed an important engraving. He 
 then removed to Charlotte Street,* * * § Rathbone Place. Here he died on the 
 23rd of May, 1785, from the effects of a neglected injury while playing at 
 Duich pins several years before. f 
 
 William Woollett was buried in the Churchyard at Old St. Pan eras + 
 where a plain tombstone marks the spot. On this tomb were written the 
 following lines in pencil : — - 
 
 “ Here Woollett rests, expecting' to be sav’d. 
 
 He graved well, but is not well engrav’d.”§ 
 
 It is not improbable that some admirers of the eminent engraver in 
 seeing these verses decided to erect a more impertant memorial to his 
 memory, and a subscription was raised to ■which Benjamin West and John 
 Boydell were very liberal contributors.il 
 
 It now stands in the West Cloister of Westminster Abbey. It was 
 executed by Thomas Banks, R.A., and is inscribed simply with the date of 
 Woollett’ s birth and death, and the Inscription Incisor Excellentissimus 
 beneath the bust. Below is “ the Genius of Engraving handing down to 
 
 * Gentleman’s Magazine. Vol. 55, p. 406. Says: Upper Brook Street, Rathbone Place,

posterity the works of Painting, Sculpture, and Architecture, whilst Fame is 
 distributing them over the four quarters of the Globe.” 
 
 His widow and two daughters were left in such narrow circumstances, 
 that in the year 1814, a subscription was raised for them, and in 1843, the 
 following paragraph appeared in the “ Mirror,” at page 94. “ Miss Elizabeth 
 
 Sophia Woollett, the daughter of the celebrated engraver of that name, is 
 now, at the age of seventy, among the applicants to the National Benevolent 
 Institution for relief Mr. Woollett died in 1785. In 1817 the family were 
 driven by necessity to make over to Messrs. Flurst and Robinson, publishers, 
 all Mr. Woollett’s plates and prints, for the consideration of an annuity for 
 two lives. In six years the firm of Hurst failed; and the only surviving 
 daughter, reduced to penury and in broken health, depends upon the success 
 of her present application for support. The friends of art will surely do 
 something for the unfortunate lady. When such a supplicant appears ‘ can 
 pity plead in vain ’ ! ” 
 
 Elizabeth Woollett, the widow, died on the 15th of December, 1819, 
 aged 73. Respecting her, we read in the “Westminster Magazine,” of 
 November 24th, 1781, as follows: — Mrs. Woollett, wife of the celebrated 
 engraver — of twins. This is the fifth time Mrs. Woollett has been brought 
 to bed of twins, and once she had three children at a birth.” 
 
 It remains for me gratefully to acknowledge the kindness and 
 consideration with which those collectors and publishers, from whom I 
 sought information, have responded to my applications. It is impossible 
 to particularize all the channels through which I have received help; I must, 
 therefore, content myself by expressing my thanks to Dr. G. J. Vine ; 
 Dr. Ginsburg ; Mr. Edward Bartlett, of the Museum and Public Library, 
 Maidstone; Mr. I. B. Muir; Mr. Algernon Graves; Messrs. Colnaghi ;

 Smith in his Catalogue Raisonn^, Volume viii. page 278, No. 157, says: — “This and a 
 picture described No. 185, are known under the appellation of the Altieri Claudes, having 
 been purchased from a Prince of that name by Mr. Fagan [Robert Fagan, H.M. Consul- 
 General in Sicily, etc., amateur artist, died in 1816, the grand-father of the present 
 writer], who concealed them for some time at Naples, and at length succeeded, during a 
 popular disturbance, to ship them on board an English man-of-war, and consigned them to 
 a merchant in this country. By some mistake they did not reach their destination, but were 
 landed at a port inSthe West of England, were they remained for a considerable time, and 
 were advertised for sale among custom-house goods; no person, however, bidding the amount 
 of the duty upon them, they were fortunately reserved, and ultimately claimed by the owner. 
 They were subsequently sold to William Beckford, Esq., with a few small Italian pictures, 
 for ,^7,500 ; from that gentleman they passed to Hart Davis, Esq., for the sum of ,^12,000; 
 and were lastly transferred, with many other first-rate pictures to John Miles, Esq., in whose 
 collection, at Leigh Court, they now are.” 
 
 Claude Gellee, called Claude Lorrain, was born in Lorraine, in 1600, and died at Rome 
 in 1682.

 This plate wms engraved for a work entitled “ The Perspective of Architecture in two 
 parts. A work entirely new ; deduced from the Principles of Dr. Brook Taylor .... 
 By Joshua Kirby.” London. FoK- 1761. 
 
 Thomas Malton, in the Appendix to his Treatise on Perspective says: — “Here is a 
 curious frontispiece, designed by Mr. Hogarth. . . . To me it conveys the idea which 
 Milton so poetically describes, of the Angel Uriel gliding down to Paradise on a sun-beam ; 
 but the young gentleman has dropped off before he had arrived at his journey’s end, with 
 Palladio’s book of architecture on his knees. A ray of light from the sun, rising over a 
 distant mountain, is directed to a scroll on the ground, on which are two or three scraps of 
 perspective over which, supported by a large block of stone, is the upper part of a sceptre, 
 broke off ; the shaft very obliquely and absurdly inclined, somewhat resembling the Roman 
 fasces, and girt above, with the Prince of Wales’s coronet as an astragol, through which 
 the fasces rise and swell into a crown, adorned with embroidered stars ; this is the principal 
 object, but most vilely drawn. The ray passes through a round temple at a considerable 
 distance, which is also falsely represented, the curves being, for the distance too round, and 
 consequently the diminution of the column is too great. It appears to pass over a piece of 
 water; on this side the ground is fertile, and luxuriant with vegetation, abounding with 
 tress and shrubs, on the other side it is rocky and barren. What is indicated by th's, seems 
 to be, that where the arts are encouraged by the rays of royal favour, they will thrive and 
 flourish, but where they are neglected and do not find encouragement they will droop and 
 languish.”

 At page 19, we read : — “ Plate II. — A View of the west-end of the Temple of Minerva 
 Polias, and of the Pandrosium. The Turkish gentleman smoking a long pipe, is the Disdar- 
 Aga, he leans on the shoulder of his son-in law, Ibrahim Aga, and is looking at our labourers, 
 who are digging to discover the base, and the step of the basement under the Caryatides. 
 He was accustomed to visit us from time to time, to see that we did no mischief to the 
 Building; but in reality, to see that we did not carry off any treasure ; for he did not con- 
 ceive, any other motive could have induced us, to examine so eagerly what was underground 
 in his Castle. The two Turks in the Pandrosium were placed there by him to watch our 
 proceedings ; and give him an account of our discoveries. The little girl leading a lamb, 
 and attended by a negro slave, is the daughter of Ibrahim Aga. The lamb is fatted to be 
 eaten at the feast of the Beiram, which was not far off at the time this view was taken.”

 This state is frequently met with having the words : Historical Painter to His Majesty, 
 under West’s name, and Engraver to His Majest't, under Woollett’s name written with the 
 pen. When about thirty impressions had been printed, Woollett was appointed (Nov. 27th, 
 1775) engraver to the King. The press was consequently stopped, and the above-mentioned 
 additions were engraved. These impressions which had been previously printed off had the 
 additions inserted, as stated, with pen-and-ink. 
 
 There are a few impressiops apparently identical with the above, but they are not 
 genuine. The writing on the margin of the plate was taken out, the subjedl retouched, and 
 in this repaired state open letters were again introduced, and impressions from the plate sold.

 [ 4 ° ] 
 
These impressions, however, are distinguished by the W’s of W. Woollett’s names, being 
 scarcely more than one-half the size of those in the genuine open-letter proofs. Moreover 
 the work of the spurious proof is wanting in strength and clearness. In 1 79 1 the imposition 
 was discovered, and gave rise to a letter that was printed and circulated among artists and 
 amateurs. See Introdudlion, page x.

 The original painting, which is in the colleftion of the Duke of Westminster, at Grosvenor 
 House, was exhibited at the Royal Academy, No. 210, in the year 1771. [Canvas, 
 4 ft. 1 in. by 7 ft.] 
 
 A prejudice was created against this pidlure, in consequence of the artist adopting the 
 modern military costume instead of the classic dress of antiquity. Earl Grosvenor, however, 
 agreeing with West, that it would appear ridiculous to represent modern troops in the dress 
 of Greeks and Romans, purchased the work. A replica was ordered by George III., for 
 which West received It now hangs in Hampton Court Palace, No. 320. 
 
 There are several other repetitions of it. 
 
 Robert Wright, in “The Life of Major-General James Wolfe,” London, 1864, 8®’ p. 602, 
 says : — “Romney was the painter who first made Wolfe’s death the subject of an historical 
 pifture. In 1763 the Society of Arts awarded him their prize of fifty guineas. But the 
 decision was revoked, and the young artist, instead of the prize, was presented with half 
 the amount. The popularity of the subjeft, and the merit of the work, however, were the 
 means of his procuring considerable employment. Romney’s pifture of ‘The Death of 
 Wolfe ’ was afterwards bought by his friend Stephenson, the banker, and by him presented 
 to Governor Varelst, who placed it in the Council-chamber of Calcutta. A few years later, 
 West painted the well-known pifture by which he acquired fame, and the engraver 
 Woollett, acquired fortune. What Kemble did for the stage, it has been remarked. West 
 did for Art. He discarded classic costume, and painted British soldiers in British soldiers’ 
 uniform. ‘The same truth which gives law to the historian,’ said West himself to Reynolds, 
 ‘should rule the painter.’ West’s pifture, withal, does not represent the truth, and nothing 
 can be more absurd than to call it historical. ‘ The Indian warrior,’ says a critic, ‘ watching 
 
 [ 41 ] 
 
the dying hero to see if he equalled in fortitude the children of the deserts, is a fine stroke 
 of nature and poetry.’ But, what if no Indian warrior was there ? Monckton, Barr^, and 
 other persons portrayed in the group around Wolfe were not on the spot. Monckton had 
 been shot through the lung ; Barre had been blinded ; and Surgeon Adair, who is repre- 
 sented in attendance, was then at Crown Point. West wished General Murray to figure 
 in the pifturc ; but the honest Scot refused, saying, ‘ No, no ! I was not by ; I was leading 
 the left.’” 
 
 Major-General Wolfe, born on the 2nd of January, 1727, was killed on the 13th of 
 September, 1759, in the moment of victory before Quebec. 
 
 There is a parody on West’s picture, etched by Gillray, entitled : — The Death of the 
 Great Wolf. Published, December 17th, 1795, Humphrey, 37, New Bond Street. 
 
 It has reference to the attack upon Pitt in the House of Commons, December 1795, on the 
 occasion of the Estimates. The dying hero, Pitt, is supported by Dundas, who offers him a 
 farewell glass ; and by Burke, whose “ Reflections ” are now upon his pension. Sir C. Long 
 and his brother, as the two runners ; Lord Grenville, supported by Wyndham ; old Pepper 
 Arden, known by his nose and wig ; and Wilberforce and Richmond, a weeping couple, 
 are all easily recognised. See : Wright’s Gillray, 1851, 8°-, p. 72, No. 14.0. 
 
 The following advertisements appeared in a newspaper (name unknown), Wednesday, 
 i8th December, 1772 : — “The Print of General Wolfe, engraved by Mr. Woollett, will be 
 delivered to Subscribers only, on Monday, the 4th of March next, by Messrs. Woollett, 
 Boydell, and Ryland. Subscriptions will be taken in till then at ,^1 is. each, after which 
 none will be sold under f\ 5s.” 
 
 “ Messrs. Woollett, Boydell and Ryland propose publishing by Subscription a Print 
 respecting the Death of General Wolfe, from a capital Picture painted by Benjamin West, 
 Esq.; Engraving by Mr. W. Woollett. The size of the Plate 24 Inches and a Half in

This plate occurs (not always) in a work entitled : — “ The History and Amours of 
 Rhodope. Printed for M. Diemar” (No- 317,) Strand 1780. 40. At the beginning of this 
 
 volume is the following notice : — “To the Public. The inimitable performances of an 
 Angelica Kauffmann, and the masterly strokes of the graver of a Francesco Bartoloxzi, are so 
 well known to all the admirers of the fine arts, that it would be imprudence to pretend to 
 recommend them to the public, by a performance like this. But the history of Rhodope 
 might either be overlooked by many, or forgotten by others ; it is therefore with this view that 
 the publisher found it necessary to instrufl the one part, and to refresh the memory of the 
 other, by a short recital of the history and amours of Rhodope. Herodotus, Diodorus 
 Siculus, Plutarch, Ovid, Svidas, and others gave the materials for this History ; the putting 
 of the materials together, and embellishing the whole by poetical fiftion and episodes has 
 fallen to the share of the Author. The well known History of Rhodope’s and .^Tsopus’s love 
 is the subjeft of one pifture of Signora Angelica KaufFmann ; and that of the second, the 
 choice the King of Egypt made of Rhodope for his spouse. The pen is unable to give an 
 account of the infinite merit of the fair Artist’s performance and of each excellence of her 
 pencil. The soft, pithy, and masterly graver of the other Artist alone is capable of doing her 
 amply justice, by recalling to our minds that correftness of the design, the nobleness and 
 elegance of the charaflers, the judicious grouping, the excellent disposition of the whole, the 
 manly and well understood Chiaro oscuro, the soft touches of the flesh, the simplicity and beauty 
 of the drapery, the poetical animation, the expression, and acquaintance with the ideal 
 beauty, so richly displaid in the two piftures, which the publisher humbly and respeftfully 
 offers to communicate to the public, in two beautiful Engravings. 
 
 “ The above prints, the publisher hopes to be able to deliver to those who will honour 
 him with their subscription, some time in the month of Oftober of this present year ; as one 
 of them is already in great forwardness. The price to subscribers will be one guinea for 
 them both (when printed in red) ; half of which sum is to be paid at the time of subscribing, 
 the other half on the delivering of the two prints : after which time the price will be 
 advanced to non-subscribers. Impressions taken off in colours, are to be subscribed for at 
 three guineas both prints ; one-half of which sum is to be paid at the time of subscribing, 
 and the other half on the delivering of the two prints.

 Respefting this painting William Dunlop, in Vol : I. p. 89 of the “History of the Rise 
 and Progress of the Arts and Design in the United States,” 2 vols : New York, 1834, 8°- tells 
 
 us: “The Battle of La Hogue is one of West’s best piftures. There is a remarkable 
 
 coincidence in the general aspeft of this very fine painting, with a Dutch pifture of the 
 Triumph of De Ruyter in the Thames, when he took possession of the Royal Charles, 
 burnt several ships of war, and threw the kingdom into consternation. The engraving (of 
 the same size of West’s and Woollett’s print) is entitled ‘ De Beroemde Enderneming op de 
 Rivieren van London en Rochester,’ and it is marked where in English prints the painter’s 
 name is given ‘ Getekend door Dk. Langendyk, 1782,’ and where the engraver’s name is 
 given ‘ Gesneiden door M. de Sallieth te Rotterdam ;’ and in the midway between these 
 inscriptions is ‘ urt gegeven by D. Langendyk, M. de Sallieth en Dirk de Yong te Rotterdam.’ 
 West’s and Woollett’s print was published the i8th Oftober, 1781 — probably the painting 
 made five or more years before If ‘ getekend door Dk. Langendyk, 1782,’ means painted 
 by Langendyk at that date, we must think that he has taken a hint from West ; but although 
 there is a similarity of aspeff, and somewhat of incident, the figures are dissimilar. The 
 dispositions of the ships and figures are reversed, as is done in engraving, .... It is 
 suggested that the Dutch pidlure was painted shortly after the affair represented, and the 
 print perhaps engraved, but the publication suspended (as a peace-offering to England) when 
 the peace took place ; but after the declaration of war and during our revolutionary struggle, 
 the print was published. According to this hypothesis. West may have seen a proof of the 
 Dutch print, or had a sight of the painting, before making his great pifturc of La 
 Hogue.”
