Description: Ralph Allen (1694-1763).
Title: Ralphallen
Credit: The Carfax Hotel Source URL: http://www.carfaxhotel.co.uk/images/bathtour/ralph.JPG Source Page: http://www.carfaxhotel.co.uk/bath/ralph.htmThis is a reproduction of a mezzotint made by John Faber Jr (1695-1756). It's probably a scan of a photo of the mezzotint that appeared in some book, but it's unclear which one. John Faber Jr made the mezzotint in 1754, but he was copying a portrait by Thomas Hudson (1701-1779). Two mezzotint impressions from the same plate as this image are held by National Portrait Gallery, London: NPG D344 and NPG D19992. It's likely, but not certain, that this is a photo of one of those mezzotint impressions.
