Brunel is surrounded by objects alluding to his profession and achievements, including a miner's lamp, cotton-winding machine and a model of a lighthouse. On the right is the Thames Tunnel: the portrait was painted c.1835, half-way through its construction. This mezzotint was published in 1846, three years after the tunnel was opened to the public. By this time Brunel's career was over, having been almost totally paralysed on his right side by a stroke in 1845.

Harry Carey.
J. Worsdale pinx / J Faber Fecit [1729]
Mezzotint, platemark 190 x 150mm (7½ x 6"). Small margins. Rare.
Henry Carey (1687-1743), poet and songwriter. Allegedly the illegitimate son of the George Savile, marquess of Halifax, Carey is best known for his satires and comedies for the theatre today. He also taught music and published poetry. The great music historian Charles Burney wrote of him: 'Honest Harry Carey … invented many very pleasing and natural melodies, which neither obscured the sense of the words, nor required much science to hear'. A defender of indigenous musical traditions, Carey attacked Italian opera, and sometimes paticular continental performers, in satires like 'Faustina, or, The Roman Songstress'. Despite the great success of works such as 'the Dragon of Wantley' (1737), whose popularity eclipsed even 'The Beggar's Opera', Carey committed suicide soon after the death of his son in 1743.

Cardinal Stephen Langton standing behind the altar in Bury St Edmund's in 1213, pointing to the charter of liberties, the barons of England raising their hands in agreement. The Charter of Liberties was issued by Henry I upon his ascension to the throne in 1100, addressing abuses of royal power, such as over-taxation of the barons, the abuse of vacant sees, and the practices of simony and pluralism. It was generally ignored by monarchs until 1213, when Langton, the Archbishop of Canterbury, reminded the nobles that their liberties had been guaranteed a century before. In the face of such unified opposition King John opened negotiations and the Magna Carta was signed two years later.
