$a No publication-date is given on the title-plate. The text of the essay is printed over the name and date, 'John Britton. 19th. Novr. 1842.' The caption-title of the essay reads, 'Full-Length Portrait of John Hamilton Mortimer, A.R.A. by R. Wilson R.A.' This work appears to consist of an unpaginated four-page essay accompanied by a title-plate and one plate. But in the Royal Academy's copy there has been pasted in, between the title-plate and the plate, a four-page extract from an unidentified source in smaller format. Of this the caption-title reads, 'Remarks on a Full-length Portrait By Richard Wilson, R.A. Of John Hamilton Mortimer, A.R.A. By John Britton, F.S.A. Written in 1842.' The text of this extract is a reprint of the 1842 essay with the omission of the last nine lines. The plate is captioned, 'John Hamilton Mortimer A.R.A.' The title-plate vignette shows artist's gear, statuary and ruins. In the pasted-in extract the in-text illustration shows, in smaller scale, the same portrait. The original painting is preserved in the Royal Academy. Britton thought it to have been painted by Richard Wilson; but in 1830 a Christie's catalogue was describing it as a self-portrait by J.H. Mortimer, with landscape 'believed to be by the pen of Wilson'. It is now generally thought to be by Mortimer, but possibly not a self-portrait. |
