Beschreibung
Early wash colour, possibly original; stuck on card, possibly from a scrap album, light age-toning from a previous framing, otherwise a good example. A desirable caricature map of England and Wales after Robert Dighton (1752-1814), a well known 18th century painter of portraits and caricatures. Initially he often worked anonymously for Carington Bowles. It wasn't until the 1790's that his series of caricatures earned him praise. However, he achieved notoriety when he took some Rembrandt engravings from the British Museum and replaced them with copies. They were all located in his rooms and returned to the B.M. The date of issue is unknown, but the first catalogue in which they are listed is dated 1795. They were so successful that the Bowles firm issued this reduced version 1808. No specific reason has been identified for the depiction and they are merely intended for amusement. FEAVER (1988) p.60; Worms & Baynton-Williams (2011). Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 15429
