P. (Picot?) Inv.t V.M. Picot Sculp.

Allegory either responding to or forecasting victories for Napoleon against the British. A portrait of the young Napoleon (around the time of his Italian campaign) is carried aloft by angels looking down on Envy in chains. Engraving by Victor Marie Picot (1744-1802), printmaker who spent nearly thirty years in England running a print-selling business in St. Martin's Lane. In 1790 he returned to France and set up businesss in Abbeville and then Paris. This large patriotic engraving is a departure from the gentle female figures in classical dress that dominated his production while in partnership with Delattre in London.

A. Rutherford Delint. V.M.Picot Sculpt.
To be had of Picot No.16 Strand. London & Rutherford Edinburgh.
Engraving 520 x 405mm
John Knox began the Scottish Reformation from grass-roots level with a sermon against 'idolatry' in the burgh kirk of St. John the Baptist in 1559. Oliver Cromwell's Parliamentarians, fresh from victory in the English Civil War, came to Perth. Cromwell established a fortified citadel on the South Inch (a large park south of the town) in 1652, one of five built around Scotland at this time to overawe and hold down the country. Perth's hospital, bridge and several dozen houses were demolished to provide building materials for this fort. Even graveslabs from the Greyfriars cemetery were used. It was given to the town in 1661 not long after Cromwell's death, and began almost immediately to be dismantled. The ditch, originally filled with water from the Tay, was still traceable in the late 18th century, but there are now no visible remains. The restoration of Charles II was not without incident, and with the Act of Settlement, came the Jacobite uprisings, to which Perth was supportive. The town was occupied by Jacobite supporters thrice in total (1689, 1715 and 1745). The Royal Burgh of Perth, sitting on the banks of the River Tay, increased with prestige throughout the 18th Century. In 1760, Perth Academy was founded, and major industry came to the town, now with a population of 15,000. Linen, leather, bleached products and whisky were its major exports, although the town had been a key port for centuries.
