Seller's Description
Original circa 1837 10 5/8 inch x 7 1/8 inch stipple and engraving titled CAPTAIN JAMES COOK
Engraved by William Holl the Younger (1807 - 1871). He was the eldest of the four sons of William Holl the Elder (c. 1771-1838) who taught him engraving, in stipple at first, but later in line on steel. In the 1860s he was engaged on portraits of the Royal Family: the Prince and Princess of Wales after photographs by John Jabez Edwin Mayall (1863), Queen Victoria after Albert Graefle (1864), and Victoria with her grandson Prince Albert Victor after Jabez Hughes (1866).
After Nathaniel Dance (1735 - 1811). Third son of George Dance the Elder, and elder brother of George Dance the Younger. He entered Merchant Taylors’ School in 1744. He studied art under Francis Hayman for some years, and also in Italy. On his return to England, he became a successful portrait painter. With Hayman and his architect brother, he was one of the founder members of the Royal Academy in 1768.
