Speculum Romanae Magnificentiae: Nerva, from "The Twelve Caesars" ca. 1500-1534 Marcantonio Raimondi Italian This print comes from the museums copy of the Speculum Romanae Magnificentiae (The Mirror of Roman Magnificence) The Speculum found its origin in the publishing endeavors of Antonio Salamanca and Antonio Lafreri. During their Roman publishing careers, the two foreign publishers - who worked together between 1553 and 1563 - initiated the production of prints recording art works, architecture and city views related to Antique and Modern Rome. The prints could be bought individually by tourists and collectors, but were also purchased in larger groups which were often bound together in an album. In 1573, Lafreri commissioned a title page for this purpose, which is where the title ‘Speculum Romanae Magnificentiae first appears. Lafreri envisioned an ideal arrangement of the prints in 7 different categories, but during his lifetime, never appears to have offered one standard, bound

Edgar (from "Twelve Characters from Shakespeare") May 20, 1775 Etched and published by John Hamilton Mortimer British Mortimer admired Salvator Rosa, absorbed aspects of his dramatic style, and sought British equivalents for his subjects. This etching comes from a series that Mortimer devoted to leading Shakespearean characters, based on drawings exhibited at the Society of Artists in 1775. Merging the seventeenth-century genres of the character head and tête d'expression (expressive head), Mortimer's designs also incorporate elements of history painting to convey the Bard's inventive range. Attracted mostly to tragic figures, the artist here portrays Edgar, the eldest son of the Earl of Gloucester, disguised as the demon-possessed Poor Tom. Clad in rags, with weeds woven into his hair, the figure joins the exiled King Lear in a storm, and speaks the following lines:"Away! The foul fiend follows me.Through the sharp Hawthorn blows the cold wind.Humph--go to thy bed and warm thee."(Lear
