Honble. Charles James Fox. Addressing the Electors of Westminster from the Hustings at Covent Garden.
Publish'd Augt. 7. 1802 by I. Hinton, 44, Wells Strt. Oxford Strt. London.
Mezzotint, 350 x 250mm. 13¾ x 9¾". Margins a little tatty.
Charles James Fox (1749 - 1806), Whig statesman, third son of Henry Fox, and Lady Carloline Georgina Lennox. Here shown on the Hustings in front of St. Paul's Church Covent Garden, campaigning for the Westminster election. On the wall behind him is a notice 'State of the Poll', Fox leading. Fox was the first foreign secretary of the United Kingdom and vocal supporter of American independence. Also known for his rivalry with William Pitt the Younger and a staunch opponent of George III he was reckless in politics as at the gaming tables. Fox held office briefly as a Tory under Lord North then led the opposition. Fox strongly criticised Lord North and the conduct of the American war, viewing the cause of the American patriots as a struggle for liberty against oppressive external power. He supported the revolutionaries of the United States, often dressing in the colours of George Washington's army. He championed America’s cause, denouncing taxation of Americans without their consent. Reform was a passion but as a supporter of the revolutionary cause in France, his credibility was diminished from 1792 by the excesses of the French revolutionaries.

Mr. Garrick.
R. Dighton Pinx.t. R. Laurie Sculp.
Pub.d as the Act Directs July 10. 1779 by W. Richardson No. 68 High Holborn
Mezzotint. 155 x 115mm (6 x 4½"), a good impression, uncut.
David Garrick (1717-1779), English actor and theatrical manager. The most celebrated actor of his day, he did more than anyone else to change the British acting style, which prioritised energy and engagement above accuracy and control. As a manager (primarily of the Drury Lane Theatre, Covent Garden) he presided over the creation of Shakespeare as national poet and icon, while shaping the texts to suit the demands of his patrons. The supremacy of Drury Lane during Garrick's management was not to be matched until Irving's reign at the Lyceum in the following century, and in the names of pubs and streets, and the famous Garrick Club, Covent Garden is filled with echoes of one of the greatest men to have occupied the area. From a set of small mezzotint portraits of actors published by the printseller William Richardson in 1779. Garrick had died a few months before the print was published. Engraved after a painting by draughtsman and singer Robert Dighton (1751-1814) by the mezzotint engraver and printseller Robert Laurie (1755?-1836). Music, instruments and mask (representing theatre) in title area.

David Garrick (1717-1779), English actor and theatrical manager. The most celebrated actor of his day, he did more than anyone else to change the British acting style, which prioritised energy and engagement above accuracy and control. As a manager (primarily of the Drury Lane Theatre, Covent Garden) he presided over the creation of Shakespeare as national poet and icon, while shaping the texts to suit the demands of his patrons. The supremacy of Drury Lane during Garrick's management was not to be matched until Irving's reign at the Lyceum in the following century, and in the names of pubs and streets, and the famous Garrick Club, Covent Garden is filled with echoes of one of the greatest men to have occupied the area. From a set of small mezzotint portraits of actors published by the printseller William Richardson in 1779. Garrick had died a few months before the print was published. Engraved after a painting by draughtsman and singer Robert Dighton (1751-1814) by the mezzotint engraver and printseller Robert Laurie (1755?-1836). Music, instruments and mask (representing theatre) in title area.
