Show moreAlbum collecting 24 of the 28 plates engraved after the drawings by Francis Smith as an illustration to the account by Lord Baltimore printed in 1768. Frederick Calvert, 6th Baron Baltimore, was an English nobleman. He lived in Istanbul between 1763 and 1764. He travelled to the East in the company of artist Fr. Smith, whose drawings illustrated Lord Baltimore's editions. In 1768, he was charged with rape, and although he was acquitted, left England in the face of public hostility. Reaching Naples in July or August 1771, Calvert died there on 14 September. The collection was probably assembled by the Italian engraver Carlo Nolli, to whose work the rest of the plates are related. He acquired directly or posthumously the copper plates by Lord Baltimore, who spent his last months in Naples in 1771. V. Grand Vizier -- VI. Reis Effendi, Principal Secretary of State. -- VII.
