Valentine Green, an eminent English mezzotint engraver, is renowned for his exceptional contributions to the art of printmaking during the 18th century. Among his notable works is the mezzotint engraving titled "Joseph and John Gulston (Chaloner Smith 59)," which is cataloged as number 59 in John Chaloner Smith's comprehensive reference work on British mezzotint portraits. This particular engraving captures the likenesses of Joseph Gulston and his son John Gulston, both of whom were prominent figures in their time.

Joseph Gulston (1693–1766) was a wealthy financier and a notable collector of art and antiquities. His son, John Gulston (1745–1786), followed in his father's footsteps, becoming an avid collector and connoisseur of fine arts. The Gulston family amassed an extensive collection of paintings, prints, and other artworks, which were highly regarded in the art circles of their era. The portrait by Valentine Green serves as a testament to their significant cultural contributions and their status within the art community.

Valentine Green's engraving technique is characterized by its meticulous attention to detail and the ability to capture the subtleties of light and shadow, which bring a lifelike quality to his subjects. In "Joseph and John Gulston," Green's skillful use of mezzotint—a printmaking process that allows for the creation of rich, velvety tones—effectively conveys the textures and depth of the subjects' features and attire. The engraving not only highlights Green's technical prowess but also provides a visual documentation of the Gulston family's prominence in the 18th-century art world.

The work is a significant example of Green's oeuvre and reflects the broader trends in portraiture and printmaking during the period. It also offers insight into the cultural and social milieu of the time, illustrating the importance of art patronage and collection among the British elite. As such, "Joseph and John Gulston (Chaloner Smith 59)" remains an important piece for both art historians and collectors, encapsulating the legacy of both the artist and his distinguished subjects.
