A stipple engraving by C. Knight (engraver, printseller 1743-1826) c1785, that depicts a young Lady Georgiana Cavendish (1783-1858), after a painting by Thomas Hardy (1757-1805).

William Austin was an engraver, print seller and drawing master, and he ran Patriotic Print Rooms at St. James's Street in 1785.

An unusual and early, hand tinted lithograph print titled "Washington Family", by Nathaniel Currier before his partnership with James Ives. From the 2 Spruce St. era (1838-56), this 13" x 8-1/2" small folio print (image size only) comes in a late 19th century mahogany veneer frame. This print is signed "WASHINGTON FAMILY. GEORGE WASHINGTON HIS LADY & TWO GRANDCHILDERN (sic) BY THE NAMES OF CUSTIS." It also states "LITH. & PUB. BY N. CURRIER 2 SPRUCE ST N.Y." This print has hand colouring, including a green tree, George's cuff and Martha's dress, a blue coat and drape on the male grandchild, yellow trim on the chairs, epaulets, table drape and buttonholes, faint yellow on the granddaughter's dress, and small touches of pink on the upholstery. This image is different from some of the later Currier & Ives prints of this subject, and this unusual Ives print is in excellent original condition with no tears, foxing, staining or other damage, with only slight losses to the frame veneer, some yellowing of the paper, and a small white spot on the paper's margin and beside the girl's head where the paper hasn't yellowed. All items are thoroughly and conservatively graded and all condition issues are noted; all items are secondhand and may have slight signs of gentle use.

This Georgian period etching is from the Costumes Pastoris (Pastoral Customs or more commonly, Pastoral Scenes ) series. Image size (taken from the plate indentation lines) is 36 cm. x 27 cm.

The F.A.M.S.F. dates this series to the 18th century. It has an 8 in the lower right corner, indicating that this is plate 8 in the series. It is housed in a later 19th century black finished wood frame measuring 21-5/8" x 18-1/2", and it is in very good original condition with no cracks, tears, repairs, losses, damage or repairs other than some very fine overall speckled foxing and a central crease.
