Etching. 205 x 160mm (8 x 6½") very large margins.
An 18-year-old London maidservant called Elizabeth Canning claimed to have been kidnapped on New Year's Day and held for a month, in a brothel in Enfield. She accused `Mother Wells', the madam of the establishment, of trying to force her to become a prostitute. A hideous gypsy crone staying in the house, Mary Squires, cut off the girl's stays (worth 10 shillings), and Elizabeth was imprisoned in an attic with only a few crusts of bread and a jug of water to live on. On January 29th she escaped through a window and walked all the way back to her mother's house in the City. Squires and Wells were apprehended, and tried at the Old Bailey; the former was condemned to be hanged, and the latter was burned in the hand and imprisoned. However opinion turned against Canning and new evidence led her to be charged with perjury and transported for seven years.

[by Thomas Worlidge after Peter Lely]
Etching, platemark 80 x 55mm (3¼ x 2¼"). Thread margins; tipped into album sheet. Proof before letters.
Portrait of Philip Stanhope, second earl of Chesterfield (1633–1714), courtier and politician, etched by Thomas Worlidge (1700-66) after the portrait by Peter Lely (Melbourne Hall, Derbyshire). Under the Protectorate Chesterfield was involved in royalist plots but 'perceived as too far engaged with his mistresses to be a major influence' (DNB). After the Restoration he was made lord chamberlain to Catherine of Braganza, and later chief justice. Chesterfield was against declaring William and Mary king and queen after 1688, and subsequently refused all offers of employment from William although he remained active in local politics. One of only two engraved likenesses recorded by O'Donoghue. The printmaker Thomas Worlidge also etched his second wife Elizabeth.

Admiral Richard Tyrell (1716-66). According to O'Donoghue this print was issued with an account of his exploits when commanding the 'Buckingham' on a separate plate.

The Merchant Ships made the best of their way with one of the Frigates, whilst the Florissaux of 74 Guns, 700 men, with two Frigates carrying 60 Guns and 600 men lay to in the line of Battle ahead. The Buckingham alone bore down upon the Three, attached and (after an obstinate engagement) defeated them on the 3rd of November, 1758. Captain Tyrell afterwards became an Admiral.' Etching by Thomas Worlidge (1700-66), known as 'the English Rembrandt'. Worlidge was a pupil of Alessandro Maria Grimaldi, whose daughter Arabella he married.

His widow issued his plates in 1766 and 1767 after his death with the numbers in the corners, but very few impressions were issued and sold by Worlidge during his lifetime.
