  Lot 121
 

A Large Group of Prints Including: Rubens, Constable, Sassania and Mortimer

A large group of prints including works by or after artists: J. Callot; J. H. Mortimer; after Rubens and Houghton (W. Walker; J. Boydell); after Dusart; aquatints after Claude; after Watteau; map of J. Evelyn's plan for rebuilding London, 1666; large map of the Netherlands; Legros, 1875 girl; after Lange Pier; Francis Cleyn (1582-1658) Varli Zophori, figuris animalium ornati, per Fran Clein MDCXLV, etching, 9 bound sheets and one frontispiece, 1645.


The present engraving in this lot of St. Martin dividing his cloak, was originally attributed to Peter Paul Rubens. It has since been identified as after the painting by Sir Anthony Van Dyck (1599-1641) now hanging in the Royal Collection. "The Most Capital Paintings in England" series of engravings in five volumes, late 1760s-1786, were a critical and financial success for the publisher John Boydell who promoted the interests of both artists, engravers and Patrons establishing a tradition in Britain for collecting prints.
