The mass meeting of the Birmingham Political Union, formed in 1829 to campaign for parliamentary reform, on Newhall Hill, Birmingham, held on 7th May 1832. In the right foreground can be seen the political reformer and the Union's founder Thomas Attwood (1783 - 1856), in his carriage in the midst of the crowd. Attwood brought Birmingham to the edge of insurrection in 1832 to help ensure the passing of the Reform Act. Elected as Birmingham's first MP, he was a rare Parliamentary ally of Chartism and presented the first national petition to the House of Commons in 1839. Birmingham suffered two weeks of rioting following the petition's rejection. Attwood subsequently retired from public office and concentrated his energies on economic theory.

Sir William D'Avenant K.t.
Jo. Greenhill pinx. W. Faithorne Sculp. [c.1672.]
Engraving, sheet 250 x 165mm (9¾ x 6½"). Trimmed and glued to backing sheet.
A portrait of Sir William Davenant (1606-68), poet and playwright, showing his nose severely disfigured by syphilis. Made Poet Laureate by Charles I in 1638, he had to flee to France in 1641 after being found guilty of high treason by Parliament for his participation in the First Army Plot, a Royalist plan to occupy London. He returned to fight in the Civil War until the defeat at Naseby in 1645, after which he returned to France. In exile Charles II appointed him to the symbolic post of treasurer of the colony of Virginia in 1649; in 1650 he was made lieutenant governor of Maryland but was captured at sea by Parliament and sentenced to death. He was reprieved but spent 1651 in the Tower of London before being released. Davenant made much of a personal connection to Shakespeare. His parents owned the Crown Tavern in Oxford, where the Bard often stayed when travelling from London to Stratford-upon-Avon. In some accounts Shakespeare was Davenant's godfather; according to John Aubrey, Davenant even suggested Shakespeare was his real father. This portrait was the frontispiece to his 'Works of Sir William Davenant Kt, Consisting of those which were formerly Printed, and those which he design'd for the Press: Now Published out of the Authors Originall Copies'.

Plate 1; untitled, depicts three figures on a large boulder by the side of a path, with what appears to be a ruined building behind. Two other figures, one on horseback, can be seen in the distance. Plate 2; 'At Abingdon'. Two figures are stood outside a house with a ladder leaning up against it. A dog can be see to the right. Plate 3; 'At Islington'. A figure is sat in the foreground with a dog, facing towards a large Georgian house. A church spire can be seen in the background to the left. Plate 4; untitled scene at the waters edge, with a sailing boat in the centre. Two figures can be seen in the foreground, one kneeling down to a basket, the other standing. Green was one of the first English artists to use soft-ground etching (the technique employed here). Many of his plates were sold on to other publishers, with the result that impressions continued to be printed posthumously (as here).

Cattle and figures, including marching soldiers, in the landscaped grounds of The Park Estate, a 150-acre private residential estate just to the west of Nottingham. It was built in what was once the deer park of Nottingham Castle. Major development began in the 1820s under the fourth Duke of Newcastle, despite much opposition from locals, who regarded the area as public land. Development continued under the Fifth Duke, Henry Pelham Clinton, who appointed Thomas Chambers Hine, the city's finest architect, to design the great houses. Today, the Park Estate is one of the most remarkable residential estates in the whole of the United Kingdom, and although many of the huge Victorian Gothic mansions have been converted into flats, it retains much of its original character, including the original gas lighting network believed to be one of the largest in Europe.

Building the Garden, on the site of the former medieval Jewish cemetery, cost the enormous sum of £5000. Much of that sum went on the walls which enclosed the original garden, and comparatively little was left for plants! It was renamed the Oxford Botanic Garden in 1840 and is the oldest surviving physic and botanic garden in Britain.

Val. Green, ad vivum delin.t et fecit, et excudit.
Printed for V. Green, Salisbury Street, Strand, London. ~ Published July 23.d 1770.
Scarce mezzotint. 330 x 227mm (13 x 9").
A portrait of Sir Richard Perrott (c.1716-96), '2nd Baronet, soldier and diplomat'. According to his own account of his life, reproduced in Burke's Peerage, he attended the Duke of Cumberland at Culloden in 1745 before entering the service of Frederick the Great of Prussia, for whom he fought in the Seven Years' War, becoming Fredrick's Lord High Admiral. He also came to the attention of Louis XV, who made him a baron. Back in England in 1767 he received a warrant confirming his baronetcy and in 1770, after bringing to George III a 'Loyal Flint Address' during the Wilkes Riots of 1770, received a letter of thanks and a medal, which he is wearing in this portrait. Vengeful rioters then ransacked his house in Park Lane, after which he departed for a trip to Italy. However, according to a lengthy article in the ''The Herald and Genealogist'' of 1874, Perrot was a fraudster, the son of 'a decayed distiller of Mardol, in Shrewsbury'. Impersonating foreign dignitaries he married and dumped a series of heiresses, using their money to finance other frauds. His house in Park Lane did not fall victim to rioters but baliffs representing the tradesmen who furnished it, after which he decided it was better to disappear.
