        Harvey (William, 1796-1866). Assassination of L. S. Dentatus..., 1821 * Harvey (William, 1796-1866). Assassination of L. S. Dentatus after Benjamin Robert Haydon, 1821, wood-engraving on seven-piece block, printed on chine-collé, after a painting by Benjamin Robert Haydon, countersigned by the engraver in brown ink, printed with great contrast, laid down to backing board, plate size 37.5 x 29 cm (14 3/4 x 11 1/2 ins), sheet size 52 x 38 cm, in a contemporary wooden and gilt frame (some losses to left side) 79.5 x 61 cm QTY: (1) NOTE: This scale and virtuosity of this exceptionally large wood-engraving for the period matches the ambition of the painting it reproduces. As such it was probably intended to demonstrate that although Harvey had abandoned his ambitions as a painter, the lessons he had learnt at Haydon's feet would enable him to raise the status of the humble wood-engraving to that traditionally reserved for line-engraving. Another impression of this work is held by the RA (Accession Number 07/884). One of England's greatest early wood engravers and designers for wood engraving, William Harvey was apprenticed at age fourteen to Thomas Bewick, the father of English wood engraving. Harvey quickly gained a privileged place among Bewick's pupils and worked extensively with his master on the engravings for his famous Aesop's Fables. Harvey left Bewick in 1817 to study under B. R. Haydon.

        [HARVEY, William Henry (1796-1866)]. Geographical Fun: Being Humorous Outlines of Various Countries. London: Hodder and Stoughton, [1868]. 4° (272 x 225mm). 12 chromolithographic maps after Harvey. (Half-title slightly soiled, some light spotting, map of Ireland with small marginal stain.) Original red cloth with map of Prussia mounted on front cover (spine restored, covers soiled and worn at extremities). The introduction describes these caricature maps as the work of a 'young lady ... in her fifteenth year'; the introduction itself and accompanying four lines of verse beneath each map are ascribed to 'Aleph' on the title-page. But the book was in fact a posthumous work by William Harvey, wood-engraver, illustrator and writer of verse for children.
