A late 18thc sepia engraving titled The Benevolent Lady published on 1 January 1795. The engraving comes with an interesting title back sheet from the era. It was a collaborative work from a painting by John James Barralet (1747-1815) with the figures engraved by Francesco Bartolozzi RA (1727-1815) and the landscape engraved by Thomas Morris (c1750-c1811). The back sheet states at bottom: London Pub. Jan 1 1795 by A Molteno Printseller to her Royal Highness the Duchess of York No 76 St James Street.
