Late 18th Century Color Print Engravings after Originals by Artist Henry William

About the Item

These are exceptionally RARE color engraved prints done after originals by artist Henry William Bunbury (1750-1811) and engraved by Francesco Bartolozzi. Both prints were done using the technique stippling. These pieces were created the later part of the 18th century and distributed into the early 19th century. Both are framed in antique gilded, gesso frames with black painting on the under surface of the glass to create the matt effect. Framed piece #1: Auld Robin Gray. The first print shows a weary young girl sitting on a chair outside of her families cottage with her parents standing on either side of her with anxious poses. A cat sits in the left corner foreground with the sea and a ship on the water off in the distance to the upper left. Colors browns, cream, green, pink, blues and grey. Framed piece #2: Love and Honour. This piece depicts a revolutionary war scene of two cavalry soldiers wearing Tarleton helmets as used by both the Continental and British armies during the American War of Independence. One of the soldiers is stealing a moment with his sweetheart presumably before they ride off to war. Dimensions: Each framed piece measures 9”w x 8”h x .75”d

  • 18th Century French Walnut Louis XV Style Fauteuil with Original Petit Point
    Located in Louisville, KY
    This mid 18th century French Louis XV walnut fauteuil with seemingly gloriously original upholstery portrays an exquisite petit-point that shows beautiful aging and a few minor areas that are reparable. The chair frame encompassing the padded back, arms, and serpentine-fronted seat apron are of rich walnut and are intricately hand carved revealing a floral crest in the center the top frame, flanked with stunningly done leaves that wrap the upper corners and continue down to the arms leading into the front seat apron with recessed gadroons along the way ultimately revealing a floral motif that continues on the crowns of the hipped cabriole legs that finish with a single scroll on pad bottoms. The overall wood of this chair is quite spectacular in that it seems to have the original rubbed finish which reveals the raw beauty of the wood and the patina flows beautifully into the wonderfully aged petit-point covering. This piece was part of a collection of a prominent Louisville family and spent a portion of its life in a stunning music conservatory as a piece of historic art beautifully positioned next to an antique baby grand piano.
