<p>[QUOTE=&quot;moreotherstuff, post: 4358151, member: 56&quot;]I think you can still say Thomas Burke, though you will have to point out that initial &quot;F&quot;.&nbsp; You have the one source there that says Thomas, and the print is mentioned in Julia Frankau&#039;s &quot;Eighteenth Century Colour Prints&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>That book compares Burke to Bartolozzi and states &quot;...Angelica Kaufmann has left it on record that she preferred his translation of her pictures to that of the popular Florentine.&quot;&nbsp; (No idea what record that would be.)</p><p><br /></p><p>No picture in this book of the print, but it is described as the moment when &quot;...the two knights ... find him in the arms of his enchantress.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>The book does not mention an initial &quot;F&quot;, but does mention a spelling error in Angelica&#039;s name (a missing &quot;n&quot;) on one state of another Burke engraving of a Kaufmann subject.</p><p><br /></p><p>This may be a spelling mistake unique to one state of the print.&nbsp; It could happen:&nbsp; the text on these prints was the work of third party specialists.</p><p><br /></p><p>The reference you found to F. Burke mentions &quot;an engraving after George Stubbs&quot; ... one engraving.&nbsp; Search Thomas Burke and you will find one engraving of a Stubbs subject.&nbsp; The best image I could find online looks like the name is &quot;T. Burke&quot;, but it&#039;s unclear, and this could be the same situation - a mistake in a particular state of the print.</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s also possible that F. Burke is a different person entirely, but he&#039;s a pretty accomplished engraver for someone essentially unknown at a time when good engravers were recognized as such.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
