Antoine-Alexandre-Joseph Cardon (1739–1822), also known as Cardon the elder to distinguish him from his son Anthony Cardon, was a Belgian painter, portraitist and engraver.
 
They are generally in good condition apart from the brown stains which I believe comes from the backing when they were mounted. They measure 14 cm x 9cm easch and come in a frame 34 x 28cm. Fine, early hand colouring..
John Stockdale (c. 1749-1814) was a London bookseller. Reputedly trained as a blacksmith and valet, he worked his way up from his humble upbringing to a successful businessman whose premises were described as a "fashionable lounging place" by Picture of London in 1802, although he was considered coarse and eccentric by his colleagues. Stockdale went to London to work as a porter for bookseller John Almon in 1780. When Almon retired the following year, he set up his own bookselling business and took over the London Courant. He published the debates in Parliament (1784 to 1790), the works of Dr. Johnson (1787), as well as topographical, cartographical and music prints.
