Description

Scarce mezzotint engraving of General Nathanael Green, created and signed in pencil by S. Arlent Edwards.

]The full-length portrait of General Greene shows him prepared for battle with his troops in the background, and was made from an original painting by C.W. Peale, circa 1783. Green worked his way through the ranks to become Major General of the Continental Army in the American Revolutionary War, and succeeded in becoming George Washington's most gifted and dependable officer.  

 This mezzotint was copied from an original painting by Edward Savage from 1793, and was published by Joseph F. Sabin in New York.

Born in England in 1862, S. Arlent Edwards studied art and architecture before becoming known for his mezzotint reproductions of well-known paintings. He moved to New York in 1890 to become a book illustrator and began to revive the art of single-print mezzotint engravings in color which had not been in use since the late eighteenth century. Edwards was known for inking and printing the plates on his own, and then only printing a limited number of copies before destroying each plate. This set of prints includes portraits of George Washington and General Nathanael Greene.

(Beerhouse Act of 1830) "Drunk? vell every Body must get drunk now, according to Hact o'Parliament"

This caricature, prominently labeled with the sign "PETER SWIPES, Licensed to Sell Beer by Retail, To be DRUNK on the PREMISES," offers a humorous yet biting commentary on the Beerhouse Act of 1830. The Act was introduced in Britain with the intention of curbing the consumption of spirits, particularly gin, which was seen as the cause of widespread social problems. By allowing homeowners to sell beer or cider without a magistrate's license, the government hoped to encourage the public to choose the milder beverage over hard spirits.
