John Emes fl. 1785 1805 , was a British engraver and water colour painter. Emes is best known by his engraving of the picture by James Jefferys of The Destruction of the Spanish Batteries before Gibraltar. The etching for this is dated 1786, and as it was published in October 1789 by Emes and Elizabeth Woollett, widow of the celebrated engraver, it is possible that it may have been begun, or intended to have been begun, by Woollett himself. Emes was also a clever water colour painter, and executed pleasing tinted drawings of views in the Lake district and elsewhere, some of which he exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1790 and 1791. There are three water colour drawings by Emes in the Print Room at the British Museum , one being a large drawing representing The Meeting of the Royal Society of British Archers in Gwersylt Park, Denbighshire the figures in this are drawn by R. Smirke, R.A., and it was afterwards engraved in aquatint by C. Apostool . A set of sixteen views of the lakes in Cumberland and Westmoreland, drawn by J. Smith and J. Emes, were engraved in aquatint by S. Alken these were incorporated into West s Guide to the Lakes. Emes also engraved some views of Dorsetshire.

Four Bears lived in the first half of the 19th century on the upper Missouri River in what is now North Dakota . Four Bears was a favorite subject of artists, painted by George Catlin and Karl Bodmer . Among his people he was a brave warrior, famous for killing a Cheyenne chief in hand to hand combat. He became friends with artist Karl Bodmer in 1833, and became chief in the year 1836. Around that time, a smallpox epidemic wiped out most of his tribe, leaving 125 survivors out of a population of formerly 1,600. He died on July 30, 1837 after suffering from smallpox, brought to his tribe by whites. Before his own death he lost his wife and children to the disease and in his last speech to the Arikara and Mandan s two closely related tribes he denounced the white man he had previously treated as a brother for bringing the disease to his people. Four Bears lamented that in death his scarred face would be so ugly even the wolves would turn away from him. Smallpox wiped out more than 80 percent of the Mandan population in only a few months, and they were not the only tribe to suffer from the disease. Many believed that he died of smallpox, but George Catlin claimed that he starved himself to death out of grief from the death of his family.
