Summary
"Etched, full-length portrait of Roger Payne (1738-97) at work in his bindery in Duke's Court, St. Martin's Lane, London. March 1, 1800." "The etching was commissioned by the celebrated bookseller Thomas Payne, who was not related. He patronized the binder ... he not only provided financial support during the last eight years of his life, but also paid for Roger's burial." "This is the only eighteenth-century portrait of an English bookbinder."—Paraphrased from "Highlights from the Bernard C. Middleton Collection of Books on Bookbinding."
