Lot 269: WILLIAM JAMES WARD (AFTER J.P. HAVERTY, IRISH

WILLIAM JAMES WARD (AFTER J.P. HAVERTY, IRISH SCHOOL) Daniel O'Connell Mezzotint plate, 73.9 x 48.4cm Engraved by Ward after Haverty, published 1839, London by Haverty. This plate appears to have been been chrome plated to prevent wear during printing and has then been given a special protective coating which would be removed for printing. An impression taken from this plate is in the National Gallery of Ireland, NGI no. 10,000 (Illustrated Summary Catalogue of Prints and Sculpture 1988, p.213). The National Gallery of Ireland impression has apparently been cut in at the sides into the engraver's margins.
