George Stephenson, Esq.r Standing on Chat-Moss.
Painted by John Lucas. Engraved by T.L. Atkinson.
London Published May 23rd 1849, by Henry Graves & Comp.y Printsellers in Ordinary to Her Majesty, & H.R.H. Prince Albert, 6 Pall Mall.
Mezzotint. 810 x 515mm (32 x 20"). Staining in margins.
Full-length portrait of George Stephenson (1781-1848), standing on the bog that threatened the completion of the Liverpool and Manchester Railway. After attempts to dump spoil failed when it dissapated, Stephenson took advice from East Anglian marshland specialist Robert Stannard, and created a bed of bound heather and branches topped with tar and covered with rubble stone that could ''float'' over the moss. This revolutionaty solution can be seen behind Stephenson in this portrait.

[Alexander Wedderburn] Lord Loughborough. Lord High Chancellor of Great Britain.
Dighton del.
London: Printed for Bowles & Carver / No. 69 St Paul's Church Yard [n.d., c.1780]
Mezzotint with small margins, rare, platemark 155 x 115mm (6 x 4½"). Glued to backing sheet at corners.
Alexander Wedderburn, first Earl of Rosslyn (1733-1805), lord chancellor. Born in Scotland, Wedderburn struggled to establish himself in the 1750s (a time of English mistrust of ambitious Scots), but by 1764 he was made king's counsel. In 1780, around the time this print was made, he became chief justice of the court of common pleas and a peer as Baron Loughborough, going on to become lord chancellor in 1793 where he opposed catholic emancipation. While Wedderburn has not been viewed kindly by many historians, he was a valued public speaker and competent judge.

Wellington
W.L. Walton delt. Vincent Brooks, Lith.
Printed at 421 Oxford St.
Tinted lithograph with large margins, fine & very rare. Printed area 430 x 320mm (17 x 12½").
Portrait of Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington, in uniform with the 'Order of the Golden Fleece' at his collar. The Order, founded by Philip III, Duke of Burgundy in 1430 'to honor and exalt the noble order of knighthood', was later inherited by the Hapsburgs and split between the Spanish and Austrian branches. During the Peninsular War, when France was occupying Spain, the order was presented to Napoleon and his brother Joseph but these were revoked by King Ferdinand on the restoration of Bourbon rule in 1813. However the king confirmed the award made by the acting government of Spain to Wellington in 1812, with the approval of Pope Pius VII, making the Duke the first Protestant recipient.
