Extremely rare mezzotint on glass<br />
The leading eighteenth-century publishers such as Robert<br />
Sayers and Carrington Bowles hand painted many <strong>of</strong> their<br />
‘drolls’. This rare example, published by Rober Sayer<br />
has been transferred onto glass. It was attached with a<br />
waterpro<strong>of</strong> adhesive, the paper then dissolved so that only<br />
the ink remained on the glass. They were subsequently<br />
coloured in oils or watercolours to resemble paintings.<br />
