Mr. Charles Churchill.
[after Hamett Jefferyes.]
[n.d., c.1765.]
Etching with engraving. Sheet 160 x 95mm (6¼ x 3¾").
Oval portrait of satirist Charles Churchill (1732-1764), thinking with a quill in his hand. Under the oval are books including 'The North Briton' and 'Prophecy of Famine', and a pole holding a cap of liberty. Churchill was an ally of John Wilkes and an adversary of William Hogarth. In response to Churchill's 'An Epistle to William Hogarth' (described by Garrick as shocking and barbarous), Hogarth published 'The Bruiser', which caricatured Churchill as a bear with a tankard of porter and a club of lies, with Hogarth's pug urinating on the 'Epistle'.
