Note:	Francesco Bartolozzi: Born in Florence, Italy in 1727, Francesco Bartolozzi is undoubtedly England’s most famous stipple engraver of the late eighteenth century. He studied under the Florentine artists, Ignazio Hugford (1703 – 1775) and Giovanni Domenico Ferretti (1692 – 1778). In 1748 Bartolozzi went to Venice and worked for the engraver and print dealer Joseph Wagner (1706 – 1786) where he began his career engraving plates after the Italian masters. Then in 1764 Francesco Bartolozzi was invited by the King of England, King George III (1738 – 1820) to come to London to engrave the drawings of Guercino ‘Giovanni Francesco Barbieri’ (1591 – 1666), Pellegrino Tibaldi (1527 – 1596) and other Italian artists in the Royal Collection at Windsor Castle. Shortly after, he was appointed ‘Engraver to the King’. In 1768, Bartolozzi received the honour of being the first engraver to gain full membership into the prestigious Royal Academy. In 1802, and after nearly forty years in London, Bartolozzi was offered the prominent position as the director of the National Academy in Lisbon. He remained in Lisbon until his death in 1815.
	A new printmaking technique had recently come to the fore in England at this time, and, although Francesco Bartolozzi made no claim as to its invention, his name is forever linked with the 'Stipple' engraving. Briefly, a stipple engraving is created by using masses of flicks and dots rather than solid lines, making it more of a tonal composition. More than any other artist, Francesco Bartolozzi mastered this subtle medium.
	Francesco Bartolozzi quickly recognized that this very demanding method of original printmaking was best suited for decorative works and portraits as well as scenes displaying flesh tones. He thus set up his famous London workshop which published renderings of either sentimental or mythological subjects, with such well known painters as Francis Wheatley (1747 - 1801), Angelica Kauffmann (1741 - 1807), Giovanni Battista Cipriani (1727 - 1785) and Lady Diana Beauclerk (1734 - 1808) specifically creating designs for him to engrave. Bartolozzi's success with the stipple was enormous. He was one of the first engravers granted a full membership to the Royal Academy, and in the last decades of the eighteenth century, a large following of English and transplanted Italian students sat in his studio to learn his techniques. His students included such fine artists as Luigi Schiavonetti (1765 - 1810), Peltro William Tomkins (1760 - 1840), and Benedetto Pastorini (1741 – 1839).(Some of his students later engraved the popular Cries of London series.) Stippling, however, was destined to live a very short life. It was extremely laborious and time consuming and soon gave way to the more convenient and mass-produced forms of printmaking in the nineteenth century.
	Henry William Bunbury (Mildenhall, UK, 1750 - Keswick, UK, 1811): Henry Bunbury's largest and most ambitious compositions were commissioned by the London publisher of engravings, Thomas Macklin (British, c. 1752 – 1800, London). Macklin created 'The Poet's Gallery' (1788-1799), which became England's second largest publishing house next to John Boydell's 'Shakespeare Gallery'. During the 1780's and 1790's Boydell - then Lord Mayor of London - had embarked upon the most exhaustive publishing venture in the history of British art; the over one hundred large engravings dealing with Shakespearean themes. These were epic works of art concentrating mainly upon the great history and tragedy plays such as Macbeth, Hamlet and King Lear. Macklin responded to Boydell's series by issuing his own Shakespeare etchings from 1792 to 1796. These works of art, however, were significantly different from Boydell's grandiose engravings. All of these original engravings were based upon Shakespeare plays and were to be published in twelve numbers, each containing four prints with the option of purchasing proof s or regular s, in colour or in black and white. The entire series was to consist of forty-eight original etchings and engravings designed by Henry William Bunbury, who chose mostly to depict the lighter or more magical elements in the plays of Shakespeare. Thus plays such as Winter's Tale, The Merry Wives of Windsor and even The Tempest figure prominently. Prospero Disarming Ferdinand depicts a scene from William Shakespeare's, Tempest, Act I, Scene II. The scene depicts a group of people outside Prospero's grotto. Here, the Duke is waving a rod at Ferdinand and his daughter Miranda kneels and pleads to him. In the background to the right, Ariel is playing a harp at the entrance of the cave.
	The stipples were engraved either by Thomas Macklin himself or by such noteworthy artists of the period as Francesco Bartolozzi, John Chapman, Robert Mitchell Meadows, Tomkins, Shenner, Thomas Cheesman, Vandenburg and others. They stand as fine examples of eighteenth century Shakespearian art. This original Francesco Bartolozzi engraving depicts a scene from William Shakespeare's, Tempest, Act I, Scene II.
