Commentaire : This wonderful print is from a series showing paintings which belonged to Robert Walpole (1676-1745), the first Prime Minister of Britain. In 1779 a descendant sold the collection to Catherine the Great of Russia. The prominent print publisher, John Boydell, decided that the only way to save the images for Great Britain was to have the best engravers make mezzotints depicting Walpole's famous Gallery at Houghton. Due to Catherine's purchase, most of the original paintings from the Houghton Gallery are today in the Hermitage. These prints were mezzotinted by Richard Earlom, the leading craftsman of the day whose mezzotints are amongst the finest ever produced. (Philaprint)
