178810351London: Published by Molteno & Co. No. 132 Pall Mall 1788. Etching and aquatint with hand-colour. Lovely contemporary colour. As usual text line is attached on verso of sheet. In excellent condition. Trimmed as usual and mounted on washline background. Mounting sheet is watermarked laid paper. Image size: 14 7/16 x 20 5/8 inches. A charming seaside view by Samuel Ireland the engraver and collector connected with the infamous Shakespeare forgeries.<br/> <br/>Ireland was a minor engraver and publisher who worked in London at the close of the eighteenth century. He was an avid art and manuscript collector and many of the works that he engraved and published were after pieces found in his own collection. This romantic view is after a painting by DeVlieger which was in Ireland's collection at the time. This image operates as both an example of the picturesque tradition in eighteenth century landscape prints and as an advertisement and promotion of Ireland's celebrated collection. With this image Ireland presents himself as both a serious engraver and a respected collector. Unfortunately today Ireland is better remembered for his involvement in the Shakespeare forgeries than for his evocative prints. Over a period of many years Ireland's son William Henry sold his father a series of forged manuscripts which he claimed to be written in Shakespeare's hand. Ireland who willingly trusted his son added these forgeries to his collection and presented them in an exhibition to the literary community who accepted them as genuine. The charade progressed so far that an invented play entitled 'Vortigern' which William Henry had written and presented as a missing work by Shakespeare was performed at Sheridan's Drury Lane theatre by some of the leading actors of the age. When the hoax was eventually discovered Ireland's reputation was ruined and his son was disgraced. This print is from the famed Oettingen-Wallerstein collection which was compiled over two centuries by various members of the royal household. The collection is known for its stunning impressions and the immaculate condition of its prints.<br/> <br/>Dictionary of National Biography; Lugt Les Marques de Collections Supplement 2715a.

A fine clean and tight copy of a book generally found with plates in sepia.<br/><br/>"Samuel Ireland 17-1800 was one of the most successful artists who devoted himself to the career of topographic print-making. In the ten years between 1790 and 1800 he brought out six books of views containing in all some two hundred and eighty plates all aquatinted by himself after his own drawings. He began his artistic career as a copier of prints and a dealer in them and in 1760 gained a medal from the Society of Arts. The success of his first book A Picturesque Tour through Holland Brabant and part of France 1790 encouraged him to other work of the sort and in 1793 and 1793 appeared to other books Picturesque Views on the River Thames and Medway and later again on the Avon 1795 and Wye 1797 and posthumously the Severn 1824. His son William was the notorious Shakespeare forger.<br/><br/>The London bindery of W. Root & Son consistently turned-out excellent work both on fine bindings as here and on trade bindings and sets. Packer lists the firm in business in Red Lion Square in 1899-1901 and the December 1942 issue of The Rotarian notes with regret that W. Root had been bombed out uprooted of their premises on Paternaster Row during the 1941 Blitz.<br/><br/>Abbey Scenery 428. Prideaux p. 341. London: T. and J. Egerton, 1793 unknown books
