Mapletoft. A fellow of Pembroke College. Cut a black shade of Thomas Gray, “taken after he was 40.” In the Strawberry Hill collection a profile of the poet was described as “Mr. Thomas Gray, etched from his shade by W. Mason.” Mr. George Sharf, in the Athenæum, February 24th, 1894, considers it a happy instinct to make use of the silhouette for producing a more complete portrait. The black shade of the poet preserved at Pembroke College directly inspired the best known portrait of Gray by Basire.
Maria Theresa. Two white paper cuttings appeared in the Brünn Exhibition attributed to the scissors of the Empress.
