This collection consists of pages from seven disbound extra-illustrated volumes of Galt's book comprising numerous original letters to and from Benjamin West, some pieces of original art by West, and many other engravings, documents, and prints.

Esq., by John Galt in extra-illustrated form (Collection 3239), The Historical Society of Pennsylvania. Biography/History John Galt was born to Captain John Galt and Jean Tilloch Galt in May 1779 in Irvine, Ayrshire, Scotland. As a child, Galt enjoyed reading books and developed a talent for writing. He received a business- oriented education and worked for a time in Scotland. In 1804 he moved to London, England, to further pursue business opportunities. He eventually entered into a series of partnerships, including one with his brother Thomas, but none were successful. He turned to writing articles for the Greenock Advertiser and - Page 4 - The Life, Studies, and Works of Benjamin West, Esq., by John Galt, in extra-illustrated form the Scots Magazine as a source of income. After a bout with illness in 1809, Galt traveled throughout the Mediterranean where he met and traveled with poet George Gordon (Lord) Byron. Galt returned to London in 1811 and sought to become a published author. Among his earliest works were Life and Administration of Cardinal Wolsey (1812), Voyages and Travels (1812), which was based on his time in the Mediterranean, and Letters from Levant (1813). There are few details as to how Galt became interested in American artist and president of London's Royal Academy of Art Benjamin West (1738-1820), but Galt published the first part of a biography of West in 1816. Part one of The Life, Studies, and Works of Benjamin West, Esq. covers West's life in America starting with his birth in 1738 up to the early 1760s, when West traveled to Italy to study art. In 1820, Galt offered a second volume on West that began with his move to London, England, in 1763 and ended with his death in 1820. Galt's work was the first biography of Benjamin West. In the author's note in the second volume, Galt recalled that West himself read over (or was read) the contents of the first volume to check for accuracy. Due to illness, West was unable to read over the second volume. Galt formed a successful career as a writer, publishing over thirty works before his death in 1839. He also revived his business skills in the mid-1820s when he was named one of the commissioners of the Canada Company, which planned to develop and re-sell federal lands in southern Ontario (between the Great Lakes Huron and Ontario). Galt died in Scotland in 1839. Scope and Contents This extra-illustrated version of John Galt's The Life, Studies, and Works of Benjamin West, Esq., is housed in three boxes and nine flat files. The papers in boxes 1-3 were formerly in bound volumes numbered 1 through 6. A seventh volume consisted solely of large-scale engravings and mezzotints of West's art. Amid the individual pages from Galt's work are numerous original manuscripts, prints, engravings, and examples of West's work. While documents span from the 1680s to the 1830s, most of them date from the 1790s to 1820, when West served as the president of the Royal Academy of Art in London, England. Since the collection was originally housed in seven large bound volumes, each item retains old volume and page numbers, though the collection has been re-housed into boxes and folders. An inventory of original drawings by and large-scale original engravings of West's work has been provided in the arrangement note following this section. The contents of the "illustrated" portions of this collection vary widely. Save for original letters to and from West, most of the materials relate generally to history and art and have little do with West. There are images (usually engravings, mezzotints, or other prints) of various Renaissance and contemporary artists, Italian and English landscapes and landmarks, European kings and rulers, and other historical figures such as Isaac Newton, William Shakespeare, and Plutarch. Among the original documents that help illustrate the biography of West are deeds, such as a 1682 indenture of Jacob Fullor (Box 3, Folder 1); receipts, letters, and miscellaneous lists, including a four-page list from 1786 "of workmen employed at the Great Falls for the Potomac Company---the last page is signed by George Washington (Box 1, Folder 1). - Page 5 - The Life, Studies, and Works of Benjamin West, Esq., by John Galt, in extra-illustrated form However, the highlights of the collection are West's letters, his original sketches, and large-scale engravings that were made from several of his paintings. While the letters, both drafts and final copies, are scattered between pages from Galt's work and various images, together they present a formidable picture of West's life and work in England from the 1790s until his death in 1820. Among West's myriad of correspondents were American artist Thomas Sully; German painter Antonio Raphael Mengs; Lord Grantham (Thomas Robinson, the second Baron Grantham); Joseph Reynolds, with whom he founded the Royal Academy; and Thomas Copley, a Jesuit missionary. There are also several letters West wrote to the Council of the Royal Academy, a letter from the managers of the Pennsylvania Hospital thanking West in advance for his painting "Our Saviour Healing the Sick in the Temple" (Box 2, Folder 7); and an unsigned proposal for West do a painting on the death of Lord Nelson (Box 2, Folder 7). Among West's other documents are scattered notes and lists of his paintings, receipts for exhibition money, and occasional notes on the proceedings of the Royal Academy. This collection also contains sixteen original sketches and drawings by West. Of them, two are in Box 1 (an untitled sketch and a wash entitled "David"), one is in Box 2 (a pen and wash sketch entitled "The Tragic Muse"), and the remainder are in Box 3. These works appear to be miscellaneous drawings, but a few are identified as painting studies. They are done in pencil, ink, wash, or a combination of these media, and most are mounted onto heavy card stock. Only a few are dated and have titles, but most are either signed or initialed by West. Nine oversized flat files that mostly contain large-scale engravings done after many of West's painting round out this collection. Impressive works of their own, most of these engravings were done in the 1780s and 1790s by Valentine Green or Francesco Bartolozzi, both of whom worked as Royal engravers (Flat files 2-8). Additionally, there are several large portraits of Benjamin West (Flat file 1). The ninth flat file contains photographic reproductions of a portrait of Benjamin West and his portraits of George III and Queen Charlotte. An inventory of the engravings along with West’s original works in Flat files 1-8 is in the arrangement note

ADJOINING THE BRITISH GALLERY". % Admittance One Shilling.— Descriptive Catalogue Eighteen-pence, .In England, where there is no National Gallery for the reception of the chefs-d’oeuvre of the Great Mas¬ ters of the various schools, where the amateur or the student might at all times have an opportunity of improving his taste, or forming his. knowledge on works of art, every thing must naturally be considered as desirable, which can in any degree tend to afford facility for such study, or acquirements. The numerous applications which have been made to view the Collection of Pictures belonging to Prince •Lucien Buonaparte have induced those under whose direction it has been placed, to open the New Gallery, in Pall-Mall, to the Public, in the manner usually adopted in this country : they have also resolved to allow the Collection itself to he separated, and sold, in the same manner as the celebrated Collection of the Duke of Orleans; being convinced that Collectors will feel more satisfied in having an opportunity afforded them of gratifying their wishes individually, by a selection of such pictures as may suit the taste of each purchaser. 2 This Collection has been formed from many of the principal Cabinets on the Continent, during a period of the last fifteen years; and not only has the greatest attention been paid to a selection of agreeable subjects of the different masters, but also to the quality and state of preservation of the pictures themselves.

It explores a number of trajectories embarked upon by Boydell and his artists in their collective attempt to promote an English aesthetic. It broadly argues that the Shakespeare Gallery offered an antidote to a variety of perceived problems which had emerged at the Royal Academy over the previous twenty years, defining itself against Academic theory and practice. Identifying and examining the cluster of spatial, ideological and aesthetic concerns which characterised the Shakespeare Gallery, my research suggests that the Gallery promoted a vision for a national art form which corresponded to contemporary senses of English cultural and political identity, and takes issue with current art-historical perceptions about the 'failure' of Boydell's scheme. The introduction maps out some of the existing scholarship in this area and exposes the gaps which art historians have previously left in our understanding of the Shakespeare Gallery.

HJST. survey Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2012 with funding from University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign http://archive.org/details/englishduplicateOOdesc English Duplicates of Lost Virginia Records compiled by Louis des Cognets, Jr. © 1958, Louis des Cognets, Jr. P.O. Box 163 Princeton, New Jersey This book is dedicated to my grandmother ANNA RUSSELL des COGNETS in memory of the many years she spent writing two genealogies about her Virginia ancestors \ i FOREWORD This book was compiled from material found in the Public Record Office during the summer of 1957. Original reports sent to the Colonial Office from Virginia were first microfilmed, and then transcribed for publication. Some of the penmanship of the early part of the 18th Century was like copper plate, but some was very hard to decipher, and where the same name was often spelled in two different ways on the same page, the task was all the more difficult. May the various lists of pioneer Virginians contained herein aid both genealogists, students of colonial history, and those who make a study of the evolution of names. In this event a part of my debt to other abstracters and compilers will have been paid. Thanks are due the Staff at the Public Record Office for many heavy volumes carried to my desk, and for friendly assistance. Mrs. William Dabney Duke furnished valuable advice based upon her considerable experience in Virginia research. Mrs .Olive Sheridan being acquainted with old English names was especially suited to the secretarial duties she faithfully performed.

  • Download a PDF of Imagining the Boston Massacre
    Imagining the Boston Massacre Imagining the Boston Massacre asks students to consider images of the one of the most important and controversial events of the Revolutionary era. This lesson invites students to examine and interpret depictions of the Boston Massacre—the deadly confrontation between Bostonians and British troops on the evening of March 5, 1770—by examining contemporary engravings of the event by Henry Pelham and Paul Revere of Boston and Jonathan Mulliken of Newburyport, Massachusetts, as well as later versions of the same image. The goals of the lesson are for students to understand the importance contemporaries attached to the event, how the event reflected and shaped colonial resistance to British authority, and how powerful images can focus popular attention and shape political views. Like the other lessons in this series, Imagining the Boston Massacre asks students to go beyond obvious questions about the literal accuracy of images to consider them as valuable sources for understanding how artists and their audiences understood the events depicted. Suggested Grade Level Middle and High School Recommended Time Two +/- fifty minute class periods Objectives and Essential Questions At the conclusion of the lesson, students will: • understand how the artists and their audiences understood the events of March 5, 1770; • understand how the Boston Massacre contributed to the growth of Revolutionary sentiment by stirring popular outrage at the British army and the British ministry; • develop skills needed to analyze and interpret visual images through close comparison of similar, but not identical, images; and • understand how the publication of dramatic images reflects and shapes popular opinion.

    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-87837-1 - The Illustrated Shakespeare, 1709-1875 Stuart Sillars Frontmatter More information The Illustrated Shakespeare, 1709–1875 Illustrations have been an important element of many of the most extensively read edi- tions of Shakespeare’s plays, from the frontispieces to Nicholas Rowe’s 1709 edition to the multiple images placed within the text of Victorian editions. Through symbols the illus- trations have explored language and character; by allusion to earlier paintings they have offered critical readings; and by gesture, setting and costume they have redesigned the plays within the visual vocabulary of their own times. In all these ways they offer impor- tant exchanges with contemporary social, aesthetic and critical concerns, and, despite being largely ignored by scholars, are central to the plays’ reception. Highly illustrated, including many images not previously reproduced, the book allows the reader to share the experience of early readers of the plays. Building on the author’s earlier work in Painting Shakespeare it offers a fresh address to the tradition of visual criticism and assimilation of Shakespeare’s plays. stuart sillars is Professor of English at the University of Bergen, having previously been a member of the Faculty of English at the University of Cambridge. He has written extensively on the relationship between literature and the visual arts, his most recent book being Painting Shakespeare: The Artist as Critic, 1720–1820 (Cambridge, 2006). Earlier writings include Visualisation in Popular Fiction, British Romantic Art and the Second World War, Art and Survival in First World War Britain and articles and reviews in major journals in the UK, Europe and the USA.
