Note:	Frederick Christian Lewis 'F. C. Lewis': An eminent early nineteenth century painter, etcher, aquatint and stipple engraver, F. C. Lewis was a pupil of J. C. Stadler and studied at the Royal Academy Schools. He first gained notice in 1803 with his aquatints after Thomas Girtin’s designs which were published under the title of, Twenty of the most Picturesque Views in Paris and its Environs. Afterwards, from 1808 to 1823, he became one of the principal engravers for William Ottley’s famous volumes on Renaissance art, The Italian School of Design. Lewis also contributed etchings for J.M.W. Turner’s, Liber Studiorum , Imitations of Sir Thomas Lawrence’s Drawings, Sir Thomas Lawrence’s, Cabinet of Gems, as well as creating commissioned engravings after the designs of Landseer, Flaxman and others.
	During his successful career, Frederick Christian Lewis exhibited his art at the Royal Academy (1802-1853), the British Institution (1817-1853), the Society of British Artists (1824-1846) and at the Old Water-Colour Society. F. C. Lewis was appointed Engraver of Drawings to King George IV, King William IV and Queen Victoria
	Frederick Christian Lewis was a greatly skilled and versatile printmaker. His abilities to render painting and drawing techniques into the etched medium, in particular, set his art on a high plane. For this reason many of F. C. Lewis'sfinest etchings were after the works of England's greatest portrait artist of the day, Sir Thomas Lawrence.
	Sir Thomas Lawrence: The son of an innkeeper, Thomas Lawrence became one of England's greatest portrait artists of any age. As an early child he showed exceptional ability for drawing and, at the age of ten, gained a reputation for his pencil portraits of guests at his father's inn. Such celebrities as Mrs. Siddons had their portraits drawn by this self-taught, child prodigy.
	In 1787, Thomas Lawrence moved to London. The following year (at age nineteen) his first painted portrait was accepted for the Royal Academy exhibition. Thomas Lawrence was elected an Associate of the Royal Academy in 1791, a full Academician in 1794, and President in 1820. He was also an honourary member of the Academies of Vienna, Florence, Venice and Copenhagen. In 1825, the King of France awarded him the Cross of the Legion of Honour.
	Throughout his life, Sir Thomas Lawrence dedicated his work to the art of the portrait, in both oil and pencil. As spectacular as his paintings are, his pencil drawings hold a special place in the history of portraiture. More intimate and spontaneous, they are masterworks of expression and emotion.
	This original stipple engraving depicts the portraits of the young daughters of Charles Biggs Calmady esq. of Langdon Hall (1791 - 1855), Emily Calmady (1818 - 1906) and her younger sister, Laura Calmady (1820 - 1894).
