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.

Printed for John Bowles at the Black House in Cornhill London [n.d, c.1765).
Very rare mezzotint, plate 150 x 115mm (6 x 4½"), large margins. Some toning to the paper.
A portrait of General James Wolfe (1727 - 1759), half-length, in profile to the left against a background of clouds. He rests his left hand on his hip and his other arm extended slightly. Wearing a powdered tie-wig, a military frockcoat over a cuirass with a black stock, a ribbon tied about his left arm and his cuffs edged with gold lace. Wolfe was a British Army officer, remembered chiefly for his victory over the French at the Battle of Quebec in Canada in 1759. The son of a distinguished general, Lieutenant-General Edward Wolfe, he had received his first commission at a young age and saw extensive service in Europe where he fought during the War of the Austrian Succession. His service in Flanders and in Scotland, where he took part in the suppression of the Jacobite Rebellion, brought him to the attention of his superiors. Wolfe's part in the taking of Quebec in 1759 earned him posthumous fame and he became an icon of Britain's victory in the Seven Years War and subsequent territorial expansion.
