The 'Madre Dolorosa,' after Vandyke; the portrait of that master in the
character of Paris; Michael Angelo's cartoon of the 'Surprise of the
Soldiers on the banks of the Arno;' a series of etchings from designs by
Blake, illustrative of Blair's 'Grave,' with a portrait of Blake after
Phillips; the 'Landing of the British troops in Egypt,' from De
Loutherbourg; and the etching of the 'Canterbury Pilgrims,' from
Stothard's admired picture, are some of the most esteemed works of Lewis

The greater portion of No. 13, Michael's Place, is shown in the sketch of
No. 12, and the former may be mentioned as the residence of the widow of
the builder, Madame Novosielski, who died here on the 30th November,
1820. This was the address of Miss Helen Faucit, immediately previous to
her successful appearance in the English drama before a French audience,

women, Miss Pope is said to have been unrivalled; and, for more than half
a century, she remained constant to the boards of Drury Lane Theatre,
never having performed at any other with the exception of a season at
Dublin and another at Liverpool.
