Exhibition of the National Institution - No. 45. "Galliotti, the Astrologer, shewing Louis XI. the First Specimen of Printing" - painted by R. S. Lauder, R.S.A. 1850. An engraving of...one of the best pictures - perhaps the finest in the collection...at the Portland Gallery, Regent-street [London]...one of Mr. R. S. Lauder's seven contributions...The scene is from the following passage in Scott's "Quentin Durward": "You are engaged, father", said the King, "and, as I think, with this new-fashioned art of multiplying manuscripts by the intervention of machinery. Can things of such mechanical and terrestrial import interest the thoughts of one before whom Heaven has unrolled her own celestial volumes ?". From "Illustrated London News", 1850
