John standing on each side, rare and fine (1), 10s. BOLOGNINI TO EYE. 169 3. The Laoooon and Ha Two Sons. a. man playing on the lute, and a portrait of Jean de Hennenberg, fine (3), 16s. Browne (Joh.n). — An eminent Englisli engraver, born, according to Bryan, at Finchingfield in 1741. The last three engravings named below are undoubtedly by this artist, but so far as the ones numbered 1 to 15 are concerned, it is thought that they should be attributed to Alexander Browne, an engraver, or possi...bly only a publisher, who was living in 1683. The catalogues in every instance give the name as John Browne, who was, in fact, an engraver of landscapes only. Alexander Browne, on the contrary, obtained a patent in 1683 to publish one hundred mezzotinto portraits from Vandyck and Lely for fourteen years, and no doubt most of the specimens referred^ to below are by him. See Smith's " British Mezzotinto Portraits," part i., page 106, where the question is discussed. 1. Sir J. Lowther, 4s. 2. Elizabeth, Countess of Northumberland, 9s.
