Autorenporträt
The son of a London music engraver, and by poor sight debarred from treading his father's vocation, James Caulfield (1764 - 1826) set up as a printseller, vending engravings, adorning books, and fashioning catalogues. In the meantime he fathered seven children, out of which four survived. Samuel Johnson and Richard Cosway were among his visitors, and illustrious collectors numbered among his patrons, including Earl Spencer, Charles Towneley, James Bindley, and Clayton Mordaunt Cracherode. Beyond trade, he ventured into the world of letters and, penning diverse books while also serving as editor and publisher, left his imprint in the realm of antiquarian scholarship and curiosity. In his final years he took to drink, and died in St Bartholomew's Hospital following complications from a kneecap fracture.
