Henry Callender Esq.
Lemuel Francis Abbott Engraving
Originally done in 1812 as a mezzotint. Although Abbott (1760-1803) was better
known for his 1790 print "The Blackheath Golfer" known as the first golf print
to be published, this is the other mezzotint he published in 1812, as he only
published two. The subject of the portrait, Henry Callender, was a captain of
the Society of Golfers At Blackheath, to which this plate was originally
dedicated by William Ward.
Print has been mounted to board and overall is 22
1/2" x 31". Plate size 23 3/4" x 16". Date unknown.
