‎SARTAIN, John (1808-97)‎

‎Autograph Quotation Signed‎

‎This London-born American artist was an important and prolific engraver of book illustrations and banknotes and pioneered the use of mezzotint engravings. AQS 1p 6 3/4" X 3 3/4" n.p. 1878 August 7. Near fine. On a lined slip Sartain handsomely pens a six-line poem titled "Lines for my Library" which reads as follows: "Health industry content prints pictures books / And friends to share them with in cozy nooks. / Leading a tranquil life in thoughtful joy / Exempt from envy greed or care's alloy; / Still ready here on earth to act any part / Or with death's Angel cheerfully depart." Boldly signed and dated at the conclusion. A charming piece with appropriate mention of that around which Sartain's life revolved: "prints pictures books." Whether this stanza was ever published has not been determined. Accompanied by a modern 8½" X 11" reproduction of line drawing head-and-shoulders portrait of Sartain later in life. unknown‎
