PETER PEREZ BURDETT (c1743-1793) FULL STREET DERBY with date and inscriptions recto and verso in several hands, pen, ink and wash on laid paper watermarked J Whatman, 31.5 x 44.5cm (unframed) This unique 18th century view of Full Street in Derby is an exciting rediscovery of a rare drawing by the important cartographer, surveyor and topographical artist P P Burdett. In 1765 Burdett moved into the tall house on the left hand side of the street (next but one to the alms houses) which he had his friend, the architect Joseph Pickford (1734-1782) remodel in the fashionable Gothick style. A friend of Joseph Wright of Derby (1734-1797), who painted a double portrait of Burdett and his wife his circle included many of the leading figures in the Midlands Enlightenment. Amongst others, he corresponded with such luminaries as Benjamin Franklin. His many interests ranged from astronomy and music to printmaking, producing the first aquatint printed in England. The present, apparently unfinished drawing, with the east end of Derby Cathedral on the extreme right hand side being all that now remains of the scene, was copied by George Bailey (1832-1925) and published as a postcard by Richard Keene, Junior of Derby in 1905. In 1768 Burdett left Derby for Liverpool so as to avoid his creditors, before settling permanently in the Margraviate of Baden in 1774. ++Much surface dust, numerous creases and marginal loss/tears with old marginal strenghtening verso. Entirely unrestored. Not over faded and would clean satisfactorily.
