This was the print to which Goldsmith referred in a well-known anecdote. Speaking to his old Peckham pupil, Samuel Bishop, whom, after many years, he met accidentally in London, he asked him eagerly whether he had got an engraving of the new portrait, and finding he had not, ‘said with some emotion, “if your picture had been published, I should not have suffered an hour to elapse without procuring it.”’ But he was speedily ‘appeased by apologies.’ (Prior’s Life, 1837, i. 219–20.)
