His 1715 engraving of Kneller\u2019s portrait of George I established Vertue\u2019s reputation, and in 1717 he became a fellow of the recently re-founded Society of Antiquaries of London (which had been established in its modern form in 1707, but subsequently faltered).&nbsp;\u2018One of the objectives of the Society was \u201cto collect and print all accounts of Antient Monuments that come into their hands\u201d. Initially it was easier to produce prints than printed accounts, and from the start the Society began to produce engravings, since this was perceived as a self-financing way of promoting interest in the historical buildings and objects, which were being destroyed at a great rate. [&#8230;] Because he was an engraver as well as a member, Vertue was an obvious choice as the man to engrave the plates, but it has to be emphasized that Vertue was primarily a member of the Society rather than just its engraver\u2019 (D. Alexander, \u2018George Vertue as an Engraver\u2019,&nbsp;<em>The Volume of the Walpole Society<\/em>, vol. 70 (2008), pp. 207-517, at p. 213). Initially, Vertue had only published engravings of non-antiquarian subjects (e.g. portraits) himself, but from the 1730s he had begun to \u2018engrave prints on his own account, which were aimed at those who were interested in historic buildings or who sought information about the past\u2019 (<em>op. cit.<\/em>, p. 223).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"711\" src=\"https:\/\/www.typeandforme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/3102_05-lg.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9695\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.typeandforme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/3102_05-lg.jpeg 1000w, https:\/\/www.typeandforme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/3102_05-lg-300x213.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.typeandforme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/3102_05-lg-768x546.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.typeandforme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/3102_05-lg-492x350.jpeg 492w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This group of three engravings were published by Vertue, and they depict the medieval church of St Martin-in-the-Fields from the south and west, and it includes a groundplan of the church, which gives the dimensions of the church and identifies additions made in 1607 (\u2018The Chancell\u2019), 1609 (\u2018Great west Door\u2019), and 1669 (\u2018Steeple and Belfry cased with Stone\u2019). By the beginning of the eighteenth century, however, the building was in a very parlous state, and in 1710&nbsp;\u2018several master craftsmen were appointed to survey the Church. They reported to the vestry: \u201cWe find That all the Walls round the said Church being built with Rubble and decayed with time are spread out by the Weight of the Roof and in all probability cannot long support the Roof and in diverse places are only tyed in with severall Cramps of Iron. Wee do also find That the Roof of the said Church is very defective. Wee are also of opinion that the said Church cannot be supported by repairing but must be rebuilt\u201d\u2019 (G. Gater and W.H. Godfrey (eds),&nbsp;<em>Survey of London &#8230; Volume XX: Trafalgar Square and Neighbourhood (The Parish of St. Martin-in-the-Fields, Part III)<\/em>&nbsp;(London, 1940), p. 14). Eventually, an Act of Parliament was passed in 1720 to build a new church and, following the demolition of the old structure, work began on James Gibbs\u2019s new church in 1722 and it was completed in 1726.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"681\" src=\"https:\/\/www.typeandforme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/3102_03-lg.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9697\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.typeandforme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/3102_03-lg.jpeg 1000w, https:\/\/www.typeandforme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/3102_03-lg-300x204.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.typeandforme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/3102_03-lg-768x523.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.typeandforme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/3102_03-lg-514x350.jpeg 514w, https:\/\/www.typeandforme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/3102_03-lg-512x350.jpeg 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the engraved plan refers to the church \u2018before it was pull\u2019d down\u2019, it is likely that the drawings of the church were made in&nbsp;<em>c<\/em>. 1720-1722, and this dating seems to be supported by an example of \u2018The West Prospect of St. Martin\u2019s Church\u2019, which was sent by Vertue to Thomas Symonds (sale, \u2018A Selection of Books from the Collection of Richard Hatchwell\u2019, Bonhams New Bond Street, 6 October 2009, lot 118). In Symonds\u2019s example, the engraved dedication, which reads \u2018This Prospect of the Old Church was drawn, &amp; is humbly inscrib\u2019d by George Vertue a Native of the said Parish\u2019, was amended in manuscript by Vertue to read \u2018This Prospect of the Old Church is humbly inscrib\u2019d by George Vertue a Native of the said Parish being drawn by Him on the pulling it down\u2019. The drawings were then engraved by Vertue at some time between the demolition of the church and a meeting of the Society of Antiquaries on 26 September 1744, when \u2018Mr Vertue was pleased to present the Society with 3 plats of St Martin\u2019s Old Church\u2019 (\u2018George Vertue as an Engraver\u2019,&nbsp;p. 371).&nbsp;These three engravings were published by Vertue, and&nbsp;Alexander records that they were included in his catalogue of 1753 priced at 2<em>s<\/em>.<em>&nbsp;<\/em>6<em>d<\/em>.<em>&nbsp;<\/em>for the suite of three (<em>op. cit.<\/em>,&nbsp;p. 394). Following Vertue\u2019s death in 1756, his widow continued to sell his engravings and in November 1775 she gave the original engraved copper plates for these three prints to Society of Antiquaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Individual examples from Vertue\u2019s suite of engravings of the old church of St Martin-in-the-Fields are occasionally offered on the market, but the complete suite of three is rarely found in commerce, and this set is particularly notable for the generous margins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u00a3450<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\">\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-16018d1d wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\" style=\"letter-spacing:0.5px\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/shop.typeandforme.com\/product\/george-vertue-three-engravings-of-st-martin-in-the-fields-c-1744\/\" style=\"background-color:#003b7a\"><strong>Order this set of engravings from the Type &amp;
