Note:	Peltro William Tomkins 'P. W. Tomkins': A well known stipple and aquatint etcher and engraver, Peltro William Tomkins studied printmaking techniques under Francesco Bartolozzi, in London. Many of P. W. Tomkins's early works were designed by Angelica Kauffman. Later, however, he was commissioned to produce engravings after the designs of such contemporaries as Robert Smirke (1753 – 1845), John Downman (1750 -1824), Henry William Bunbury (1750 – 1811), Mather Brown (1761 – 1831) and others. Tomkins was also a major contributor to such publications as The British Gallery of Pictures published in parts by Henry Tresham and William Young Ottley (1808-1820), for a splendid edition of James Thornton’s Seasons after pictures by William Hamilton first published one season at a time (Winter 1726), (Summer, 1727), (Spring 1728), and (Autumn 1730), The Birth of Love, by Bland Burgess, from designs by the Princess Elizabeth of England first published (1752), Illustrations of Modern Scripture (1832), John Boydell's Shakespeare Gallery (1789 – 1805), John Chamberlaine's Engravings from the Original Designs of Annibale, Agostino and Ludovico Carracci, in his Majesty's Collection, and Original Designs of the Most Celebrated Masters of the Bolognese, Roman Florentine and Venetian Schools (1796 - 1812) as well as other important works from his own designs. This original Peltro William Tomkins etching and aquatint bears the text, "From the Original Drawing by Claude Larrain.", "Eng. d by P.W. Tomkins. Engraver to her Majesty.", "In His Majesty's Collection", "and the publication line, Pub'd as the Act directs. March 27. 1807. by J. Chamberlaine Scotland Yard." in the lower margin, and numbered, "PL. IX" in the upper right corner.
	Between 1803 and 1811, P. W. Tomkins was commissioned by John Chamberlaine to create original etchings, stipple engravings, and aquatints based upon drawings in the Royal Collection. Such fine works of art include, Female Head (1803), Man's Head (1806), A Figure, with Drapery (1806), and Wolf in a Boat, an Allegorical Composition (1811), all after Leonardo da Vinci; Apotheosis of St. Francis (1806) after Ludovico Carracci, David (1807) after Annibale Carracci, and two landscapes (1807) after Claude Lorrain. "Forest Scene, 'In His Majesty's Collection'" was engraved in 1807 by Peltro William Tomkins and was commissioned by John Chamberlaine for "Original Designs of the Most Celebrated Masters of the Bolognese, Roman Florentine and Venetian Schools".
	Claude Lorrain (Claude Gellee): Undoubtedly Claude Lorrain ranks as one of the greatest masters of landscape art. He moved to Rome at about the age of twelve and first trained as a pastry-cook in the household of the artist, Agostino Tassi. Claude then became his studio assistant and completed his studies in Naples, under Gottfried Wals.
	Claude Lorrain's early paintings and drawings reflect the dominant Mannerist style of mid seventeenth century Italian art. Beginning around 1640, however, he began to develop his now famous style were the pastoral serenity and the antique grandeur of the Roman countryside is paramount. Nowhere was his influence more deeply felt than in England where such great artists as Wilson and J. M. W. Turner modeled much of their art upon his work.
	Forest Scene, 'In His Majesty's Collection': Claude Lorrain's "Forest Scene" was engraved in 1807 by Peltro William Tomkins and was commissioned by John Chamberlaine, Keeper of Drawings and Medals to the King for "Engravings from the Original Designs of Annibale, Agostino and Ludovico Carracci, in his Majesty's Collection". Bearing the text, "From the Original Drawing by Claude Larrain.", "Eng. d by P.W. Tomkins. Engraver to her Majesty.", "In His Majesty's Collection", "and the publication line, Pub'd as the Act directs. March 27. 1807. by J. Chamberlaine Scotland Yard." in the lower margin, and numbered, "PL. IX" in the upper right corner. From 1792 to 1812, Chamberlaine commissioned such artists as Francesco Bartolozzi, P. W. Tomkins, Luigi Schiavonetti, Frederick Christian Lewis and others to engrave or etch plates after old master drawings in the King's collection. An original aquatint and etching in brown ink, "Forest Scene, 'In His Majesty's Collection'" is based upon a drawing by Claude Lorrain (Claude Gellee) in England's Royal Collection. This scenic landscape depicts a quiet view of the hills in the distance from an arched opening of lush forest trees. It represents a beautiful, original example of the etched art of Peltro William Tomkins and of the landscape art of Claude Lorrain.
	John Chamberlaine (British, c. 1745 - 1812): In February, 1791, John Chamberlaine (London, 1745 - 1812) was appointed Keeper of Drawings and Medals to the King. As curator to his Majesty's Collection, Chamberlaine's greatest achievement was to publish engravings and etchings based upon these famous old master acquisitions. Between March, 1792 and February, 1800, John Chamberlaine published eighty-four stipple engravings based upon Holbein's portrait drawings. All but four of these engravings were created by Francesco Bartolozzi, who held the title of, 'Historical Engraver to his Majesty'.
	In 1796, John Chamberlaine initiated another important set of engravings based upon drawings in the Royal Collection, entitled, "Imitations of Original Designs by Leonardo da Vinci". The engravers for this series were Francesco Bartolozzi and his followers. The following year, John Chamberlaine began his final set under the title of, "Engravings from the Original Designs of Annibale, Agostino and Ludovico Carracci, in his Majesty's Collection". In the following years this last set was expanded to include engravings based upon the designs of other old masters, such as, Raphael 'Raffaello Santi', Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonaroti, Claude Lorrain, Nicolas Poussin, Leonardo da Vinci, Giovanni Antonio Canal 'Canaletto' and other major artist. For this opus, John Chamberlaine commissioned such leading engravers as Francesco Bartolozzi (1727 - 1815), Luigi Schiavonetti (1765 - 1810), Frederick Christian Lewis (1779 - 1856), Peltro William Tomkins (1760 - 1840) and others to worked upon this project.
	The engravings for the 1796 "Imitations of Original Designs by Leonardo da Vinci" and the 1797 "Engravings from the Original Designs of Annibale, Agostino and Ludovico Carracci, in his Majesty's Collection", were both completed in 1812. At this point John Chamberlaine combined the two sets under the general title of "Original Designs of the Most Celebrated Masters of the Bolognese, Roman Florentine and Venetian Schools". Taking eighteen years to complete, the entire series consisted of sixty-six plates, with the exception of a few sets which contained additional plates (not listed in the index), and bearing the publication date of 1795 or 1796. In order to simulate varying drawing methods, the artists used a wide ranging array of printmaking techniques such as stippling, soft ground etching and aquatinting, often employing either separately printed color plates or hand-coloring. As a result, some of the most complex and technically accomplished etchings and engravings of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries are found within this scarce and monumental collection. Forest Scene, 'In His Majesty's Collection' hails from John Chamberlaine's set edition entitled, Original Designs of the Most Celebrated Masters of the Bolognese, Roman Florentine and Venetian Schools.
