HINCKS, William (fl.1773-1797)
Irish Linen Industry. London: R. Pollard, 1791 [but watermarked 1808-1809].
Rare set of prints depicting Irish linen manufacture in its transformative moment as it evolved from cottage industry to mechanized mills as the industrial revolution gathered pace. Hincks was born in Waterford, and was primarily a portrait artist, miniaturist and engraver. He exhibited in Dublin 1773-1780, and then moved to London, exhibiting at the Royal Academy 1781-1797. Abbey Life 444; Bobins V, 1566.
Oblong folio (365 x 520mm). 12 contemporary hand-coloured stipple engravings with etching, on wove paper with watermark of 'Whatman 1808' and 'Edmeads & Co. 1809' (some very short marginal repaired tears, plate 9 with tiny split along plate mark due to paper flaw, plates 1 and 11 with faint creasing); Modern purple cloth.
