Heloise, the teenage niece of a powerful canon of the Cathedral of Paris. Peter Abelard (1079-1142) was one of the most brilliant minds of the medieval period. Heloise and Peter Abelard fell in love, had a child, and secretly married. When Heloise decided to enter a convent to quiet rumours about them, her uncle believed Abelard had dishonoured her. One night he sent a gang of thugs into his quarters; they beat him up. Humiliated, Abelard became a monk and Heloise's temporary decision became permanent. She became a nun, later an abbess. They never again lived together, nor with their son, though their love endured through letters exchanged over decades.

Peter Abelard (1079-1142) was one of the most brilliant minds of the medieval period. Born just as universities were first being formed in Europe, he mastered the method of rational arguments. First, challenging his peers and then his professors, he left the university in Paris to set up his own lectures bringing with him flocks of students who loved his audacious style as much as his intellect. Abelard's life changed when he agreed, at age 36, to take on a private student - the teenage niece of a powerful canon of the Cathedral of Paris. Abelard and Heloise fell in love, had a child, and secretly married. When Heloise decided to enter a convent to quiet rumours about them, her uncle believed Abelard had dishonoured her. One night he sent a gang of thugs into his quarters; they beat him up. Humiliated, Abelard became a monk and Heloise's temporary decision became permanent. She became a nun, later an abbess.

The company of Le Blond was formed by the brothers Abraham and Robert, in Stepney, London. They were the first company to take a licence from George Baxter's colour printing process in 1849. Colour printing had been practised for many years but was quite basic, using only a limited number of colours. The Baxter patented process meant an initial printing from a steel key plate, which gave the black outline and all the intricate detail and shading, then they would apply up to 20 different blocks made from either wood, copper or zinc - one for each colour they wanted to apply. Each block had to align perfectly. This key plate made all the difference and gave their images sharpness never before achieved.

Date. [1813?].

London. Palser, Surrey. Page Size 11 1/4 x 10 1/4ins. Image size 11 x 8 ins. Original hand coloured mixed method engraving, etched and aquatint. Laid onto card. Engraved by Paul Sandby, from an original drawing by Atkington, two slight marks to engraved surface, outer edges of card boarder, marked and rubbed.  Rare copy. £130.00

Art historians have described Sandby as the first artist to fully understand and express the picturesque in art . The aquatint print was invented in France, eliminating the lined effect typical of eighteenth century engravings. Sandby developed the process of making aquatints so that he could recreate in a print, the look of a watercolour with varied tones and delicate patterns.

Sandby, Paul.

Art historians have described Sandby as the first artist to fully understand and express the picturesque in art. The aquatint print was invented in France, eliminating the lined effect typical of eighteenth century engravings. Sandby developed the process of making aquatints so that he could recreate in a print, the look of a watercolour with varied tones and delicate patterns. In 1771 he set off from Wynnstay, Ruabon and soon became inspired by Wales' most dramatic scenery - resulting in the subsequent publication of Sandby's XII Views in North Wales. This famous series of prints, (Conway being one of them. Plate No. 11), would help transform attitudes to Wales and even herald the arrival of the Romantic Movement in British art.

Jean-François Janinet, who studied in the studio of Louis-Marin Bonnet, where he learned multiple-plate colour printing. Responding to a demand for small gouache paintings and inspired by Bonnet’s experiments, Janinet perfected a technique that would approximate gouache (opaque watercolour), using a tool with minute points to create textured surfaces, which were then inked and printed in colour from multiple plates.He also developed colour aquatint engraving. The engraved area of these pair of prints, with fresh colour are in excellent condition, shows Janinet at his most skillful.
