INTRODUCTION. 
 
 HE Exhibition of Prints, brought together in this Gallery in 
 
 the year i88l, was designed to illustrate the history and 
 
 general progress of Mezzotinto Engraving from its earliest 
 
 until recent times, by means of a series of examples of 
 
 the works of many artists, who practised it successively iu England 
 
 and elsewhere. 
 
 The present collection is confined to the works of one of the most 
 
 eminent engravers of that series, who was then represented by only two 
 examples. 
 
 In the early part of the last century, the art of Mezzotint Engraving 
 in this country, although it numbered amongst its followers such men as 
 John Smith, the Fabers, Andrew Miller, and others, had begun steadily 
 to decline, and to lose its hold on the estimation of the art world at 
 that time, when its restoration was effected by the genius of James 
 McArdell. 
 
 It was the subtle power of hand, and the wonderful delicacy and 
 brilliancy of the work of this distinguished engraver, that advanced tliat 
 form of chalcographic art to a state of perfection, which was maintained 
 thenceforth for many years by a line of able and accomplished artists, 
 who survived or succeeded him, but by whom he was rarely equalled, 
 and never surpassed. 
 
IV 
 
 James McArdell was born in Ireland. The year of his birth was 
 for a long time uncertain. Bryan and Redgrave are both wrong in the 
 date ("about 1710") to which they alike assign it. For, according to 
 Lysons,* there is a certificate of his burial in the year 1765 in the parish 
 register of Hampstead : — ^^ James McArdell, buried June ^th, 1765;" to 
 which the writer adds the following further memorandum : — " He lies buried 
 in the churchyard, where there is a short inscription to his memory, by 
 which we learn that he was a native of Ireland and that he died in his 
 thirty -seventh year." That would make 1728-9 the date of his birth, 
 which, according to a letter in the Gentleman^ s Magazine for 1786, took 
 place in Cow Lane, afterwards Greek Street, Dublin. 
 
 When about eighteen years of age, he came to London with his master, 
 John Brooks, t and a fellow-pupil, Richard Houston; J and in 1747 he 
 scraped a half-length of Bishop Seeker (No. 5), and also another, called 
 Teague's Ramble at Charing Cross (No. 201.) 
 
 He soon greatly advanced in his art, and distanced both his master 
 and his fellow-pupils by the delicacy, transparency, and brilliancy, which 
 so eminently characterise his productions. In 1749 he scraped the portrait 
 of Lady Boyd (No. 8) and the head of Captain Coram (No. 14-15) ; and in 
 1752 he produced the splendid mezzotint of the two Sons oj the Duke of 
 Buckingliam, from the famous picture by Vandyck then in Kensington 
 
 * Environs of London, 2nd edition (1810), Vol. ii. p. 359. 
 
 t John Brooks engraved The Battle of the Boyne after Wyck, and divers portraits 
 {see No. 2). He also invented the process of printing employed at Battersea in producing 
 the well-known enamels ; but the factory there is said to have been broken up through his 
 mismanagement. — Redgrave's Diet, of the Eng. School. This chain of connection, if carried 
 a link or two further, forms a loop to the line of mezzotint engravers. For among the 
 printers of placjues of the Battersea works was Robert Hancock, who afterwards engraved 
 at Worcester, and there became the master of Valentine Green. — See Jewitt's Ceramic Art, 
 232. 
 
 I Richard Houston, b. 1722, d. 1775 (.'), excelled in mezzotint, and also engraved in 
 the chalk manner, and painted a few miniatures. — B. F. A. Club Catalogue, 1881 : Bryan ;

Palace (No. ii). This fine engraving was the means of placing him at 
 once above the heads of all his contemporaries, and it brought him plenty 
 of work. According to Elmes, he first lived in Henrietta Street, Covent 
 Garden,* and afterwards at a house at the corner of Southampton Street, 
 known as TJie Golden Head, where he also carried on business as a publisher, 
 and from whence many of his works were issued. 
 
 Although known as a boon companion at the artists' clubs, and in the 
 Green Rooms, he never entered into dissipation, or frequented loose com- 
 pany ; as did some of his contemporaries, his master and the above-named 
 fellow-pupil among the number. 
 
 Quin the actor and he were great friends, and McArdell painted, as 
 well as engraved, the portrait of that celebrated player in his favourite 
 character of Falstaff (No. io8). 
 
 In 1754 he began to scrape plates from the pictures by Sir Joshua 
 Reynolds, his earliest being The Earl and Countess of Kildare (Nos. 33 and 34) 
 and Lady Charlotte Fitzwilliani (No. 42) ; the latter being published by 
 Reynolds himself 
 
 Reynolds fully appreciated McArdell, who became a great favourite 
 with him. He recognised at once his wonderful power of reproducing not 
 only the expression and the grace, but even the characteristic peculiarities 
 of the artist's touch ; and, on looking at these facsimiles in black and 
 white, we can well understand the nature of that feeling of admiration 
 which led Sir Joshua to exclaim : — " By this man shall I be immortalised." 
 
 McArdell engraved no less than thirty-seven of Sir Joshua's works. 
 (Among them Nos. 46, 52, 71, 72, 75, Zi, 120, 143, may be referred to as 
 fine examples.) 
 
 But he also recorded the merits of some other painters more likely to 
 be forgotten or undervalued by future generations ; among them, Reynolds's 
 master, Thomas Hudson. It has been often remarkfd that Hudson was 
 not much of a painter ; but Elmes says, " He drew a head well, and a 
 
 '''Arts and Artists. By James Elmes. London, 1825.

 hand much superior to his compeers, and to most of his successors." And 
 if we can judge by McArdell's engravings of his works, he has been 
 much mahgned. An example is before us in The Ducliess of Ancastcr 
 (Nos. 110-11-12), scraped in 1757. If the original was at all like what is 
 here presented to us by McArdell's hand, it must have been a beautiful 
 picture. The fine work and expression in the face are most admirable, 
 and also the details of the dress : one can almost feel the softness of the 
 satin. 
 
 McArdell engraved twenty-five of Hudson's portraits, and also many 
 after Cotes, Gainsborough, Hamilton, Hoare, Liotard,* Ramsay, and others 
 of his day. 
 
 McArdell also scraped many fine plates after the famous masters of 
 a former period. For example : — The beautiful and brilliant engraving of 
 The Countess of Southainpton, after Vandyck (No. 163) ; the equally fine 
 one of The young Stuarts, sons of the Duke of Lennox, after the same 
 master (No. 76-7-8) ; that of Rubens, and his wife aud daughte7's 
 (No. 164). About the last, Northcote gives the following anecdote : — 
 
 "James McArdell, the mezzotint engraver,' having taken a very good 
 print from the portrait of Rubens, came with it one morning to Sir Joshua 
 Reynolds, to inquire if he could inform him particularly of the many titles 
 to which Rubens had had a right, in order to inscribe them properly under 
 his print ; saying, he believed that Rubens had been knighted by the 
 Kings of France, Spain, and England ; was Secretary of State in Flanders, 
 and of the Privy Council in Spain ; and had been employed in a 
 Ministerial capacity from the Court of Madrid to the Court of London to 
 negotiate a treaty of peace between the two crowns, and that he was also 
 a Magistrate of Antwerp, &c, 
 
 " Dr. Johnson happened to be in the room with Sir Joshua at the 
 
 * Liotard, who painted the portrait of Garrick (No. 63), was an extremely eccentric 
 person. He was accustomed to walk the streets of London " with a yard of beard and 
 dressed as a turbaned Turk." — Elmes, /. c. 
 
Vll 
 
 time, and, understanding McArdell's inquiry, interfered rather abruptly, 
 saying, ' Pooh ! pooh ! put his name alone under the print ; Peter Paul 
 Rubens. That is full sufficient, and more than all the rest.' This advice 
 of the Doctor was accordingly followed."* 
 
 Again, a comparison of the Dutch Interior, after Rembrandt (No. 196) 
 with the original drawing by the master (No. 197), both lent by Mr. 
 Seymour Haden, shows with what remarkable accuracy and fidelity the 
 engraver scraped his plate. 
 
 La Belle Hatnilton, after Lely (No. 170), is another fine example of his 
 work. 
 
 In the midst of a grand career, he was suddenly struck down, and died 
 in his thirty-seventh year, leaving a few plates unfinished. Some of these 
 (Nos. 182 and 183) were completed by Houston, for Sayer. 
 
 There cannot be a doubt that McArdell's genius and example gave 
 a great stimulus to those who practised the art during his time and after 
 his death ; and to him we probably owe that glorious band of mezzotint 
 engravers whose works delight us by their extreme beauty, and astonish 
 us by their wonderful exactness to the original paintings. 
 
 The collection in the gallery is, with a few unimportant omissions, a 
 complete series of McArdell's known engravings. In some cases, im- 
 pressions are also exhibited in the different states of progress of the 
 plate. Among these various impressions, it often happens that the earliest 
 state, though it may be the most rare, is by no means the best. The first 
 impressions were generally those struck off to ascertain what finishing 
 touches (if any) were required. After these touches had been added, the 
 plate was carefully cleaned and very carefully printed. So much depended 
 on the printer, that impressions of the second, and even of the finished 
 state, were often more brilliant, delicate, and beautiful, than the so-called 
 " first state," which was, in fact, no more than an engraver's trial proof.

 But, besides these, there were often later and, necessarily, inferior states. 
 A popular plate, from which many impressions had been taken for the 
 original publisher, and which had thus been much abused by the printer's 
 hands, would come into the possession of some print-seller or other 
 publisher, and be then retouched, and, perhaps, renamed, and even altered 
 by another head being put in, {see No. 40, which is the third state of Sir 
 Philip Honywood, turned into the Prince Ferdinand of Brunswick). 
 
 The best thanks of the Club are due to Mr. J. Chaloner Smith * for 
 the courteous generosity with which he has placed the whole of his fine 
 collection of McArdell's works at the disposal of the Committee ; and 
 to Mr. H. P. Home, Mr. McKay, Mr. Walter Tiffin, Mr. Stephen Tucker 
 {Somerset Herald), and Mr. Yorke ; as well as to the several members of the 
 Club who have contributed to the wealth and completeness of the present 
 exhibition.

 " In 1766 Walker engraved in line for Boydell the entire family picture." (See screen, No- 193. ) 
 " This print is stated to be after a picture by Vandyke, the opinion being shared by Smith." 
 {Cat. Raiso/Ditf, Part II., p. 240 ; Part III., p. 71.) "At both these pages the picture is said to have 
 been engraved by McArdell, but this is not so, for he only engraved the above, a picture specified 
 in Part II., p. 314, as having been called the Duke of Buckingham's mistress, and erroneously Etnted 
 to have been engraved by Walker, who only did the full picture. At this last page Smith admits 
 that the picture partakes of the style of both masters, and is probably their united work, the girl in 
 slashed sleeves is certainly in Rubens' manner. A comparison between McArdell's and Walker's 
 prints will at once exhibit the superiority of the mezzotinto method for portraits." (See J. C. Smith,

 And leave his pockets empty as his pate ; 
 The raving rakehell finds too late his Loss, 
 Then curses night intrigues and Charing Cross."
