The Hon. Sir Rich.d Perrott Bar.t. "Be thou as chaste as Ice, as pure as Snow, thou shalt not escape Calumny." Hamlet.
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.
