Printed by C. Hullmandel.
Lithograph. Private plate. Printed area: 165 x 130mm (6½ x 5"). On large album sheet.

In 1835, he became Governor General of British North America and instructed to appease the reformists, led by Louis-Joseph Papineau, without giving them any real power.

Engraved for the Stationers' Almanack. The Stationers' Company had published the Stationers' Almanack since 1747, a single-sheet which consisted of calendar text set out beneath an engraved headpiece that recorded significant events of the preceeding year.

The Blessings of Military Law-Givers.
[Monogram of Paul Pry - John Phillips?] Esq.r.
Pub by S. Gans, 15 Southampton St. Strand, July 28 1829_Sole publisher of Paul Pry's Caricatures.
Etching with fine hand colour. 240 x 355mm (9½ x 14"). Trimmed to printed border and laid on album paper.
A court scene with the accused (a coachman) being the only civilian, the judge and lawyer all wearing huge bearskins. Wellington stands next to the accused, dressed as a Grenedier Guard. According to the prosecutor, the coachman was guilty of 'breaking the line of a Corporal's guard, my Lud, to the great damage and detriment of the military honor of this vast empire'. A satire of Wellington as a military autocrat. Although 'Paul Pry' was initially a pseudonym of William Heath (1794-1840), this print is a pirate, probably by John Philips. Eventually Heath gave up the monogram because of its wide use.

Drawn from the Life by T. Phillips Esq. R.A. in 1802. Engraved by Edwards
Rare etching. Sheet 225 x 185mm (8¾ x 7¼"). Trimmed inside platemark; tipped into album sheet.
Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821), engraved from a sketch in profile by Thomas Phillips made in 1802, the year of the Treaty of Amiens which temporarily ceased hostilities between Britain and France. The resulting Peace of Amiens, which lasted until May 1803, was the only period of peace during the Napoleonic Wars (1793-1815). During this time, Phillips was commissioned by the Duke of Northumberland to paint Napoleon, and spent three months in Paris. Due to the circumstances of their execution, Phillips' likenesses are almost unique as sympathetic British likenesses of Napoleon.

Henry Brougham Esq.r M.P. F.R.S.
Painted by T. Phillips Esq.e R.A. Engraved by S.W. Reynolds Engraver to the King
Published by the Engraver Bayswater October 1820
Mezzotint with very large margins, platemark 350 x 255mm (13¾ x 9¾"). Tipped into album sheet. Foxing to edges.
Henry Peter Brougham, first Baron Brougham and Vaux (1778-1868), lord chancellor. A radical Whig lawyer and MP, Brougham tirelessly campagined for the advancement of education and reform. He entered parliament in 1810 as a Whig and immediately promoted legislation against slave trading. He won popular renown as chief attorney to Queen Caroline. He was a prominent member and one of the founders of the Society of the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge in 1825, of University College London in 1828 and the London Mechanics Institutes in 1824. As Lord Chancellor Brougham's most important achievements were the passing of the 1832 Reform Act, and the Slavery Abolition Act of 1833. But for all his fame in his own day, Brougham's fate was not to be remembered for any one great achievement. Engraved after the portrait by Thomas Phillips (1770-1845), whose over 700 portraits record the leading personalities of his time.

[c.1824]
Line engraving on india with very large margins, proof before title; 270 x 170mm (10½ x 6¾"). Tipped into album sheet.
George Gordon Noel Byron (1788-1824), British poet and archetypal Romantic figure. Byron was celebrated in life for aristocratic excesses including huge debts, numerous love affairs, rumours of a scandalous incestuous liaison with his half-sister, and self-imposed exile. He travelled to fight against the Ottoman Empire in the Greek War of Independence, for which Greeks revere him as a national hero. He died at 36 years old from a fever contracted while in Missolonghi, Greece. Engraved from the portrait by Thomas Phillips, which was undertaken as part of a commission by the publisher William Miller to paint the portraits of several poets whose works he published, the intention being to hang them together at Miller's house at 50 Albemarle Street, London. Annette Peach writes of the commission: "In 1813 Murray commissioned from Phillips a portrait of Byron (who brought the publisher more commercial success than any other of his writers), which still hangs over the drawing-room fireplace in Albemarle Street. The half-length view famously shows a pale-complexioned Byron in a white shirt with a large turned-down ‘Byronic' collar open at the neck to reveal his throat, and wrapped in a dark cloak. The dress and pose are identical to that of Charles Mayne Young in his portrait by G. H. Harlow (1809; Garrick Club, London), where the actor is portrayed as Hamlet, and it is possible that Byron saw Young perform this role. As in his portrait of Blake, Phillips's ability to convey the Romantic (and here self-dramatizing) cast of his sitter's imagination indicates that, although his œuvre is less flamboyant than that of his contemporary Sir Thomas Lawrence, he, too, was quintessentially a Romantic painter."

Lord Byron
Painted by T. Phillips, R.A. Engraved by Edw.d Finden
London, Published by John Murray, 1827
Line engraving on india with very large margins, platemark 190 x 115mm (7½ x 6"). Tipped into album sheet.
George Gordon Noel Byron (1788-1824), British poet and archetypal Romantic figure. Byron was celebrated in life for aristocratic excesses including huge debts, numerous love affairs, rumours of a scandalous incestuous liaison with his half-sister, and self-imposed exile. He travelled to fight against the Ottoman Empire in the Greek War of Independence, for which Greeks revere him as a national hero. He died at 36 years old from a fever contracted while in Missolonghi, Greece. Engraved from the portrait by Thomas Phillips, which was undertaken as part of a commission by the publisher William Miller to paint the portraits of several poets whose works he published, the intention being to hang them together at Miller's house at 50 Albemarle Street, London. Annette Peach writes of the commission: "In 1813 Murray commissioned from Phillips a portrait of Byron (who brought the publisher more commercial success than any other of his writers), which still hangs over the drawing-room fireplace in Albemarle Street. The half-length view famously shows a pale-complexioned Byron in a white shirt with a large turned-down ‘Byronic' collar open at the neck to reveal his throat, and wrapped in a dark cloak. The dress and pose are identical to that of Charles Mayne Young in his portrait by G. H. Harlow (1809; Garrick Club, London), where the actor is portrayed as Hamlet, and it is possible that Byron saw Young perform this role. As in his portrait of Blake, Phillips's ability to convey the Romantic (and here self-dramatizing) cast of his sitter's imagination indicates that, although his œuvre is less flamboyant than that of his contemporary Sir Thomas Lawrence, he, too, was quintessentially a Romantic painter."

A portrait of British musician, songwriter, dramatist, novelist and actor, Charles Dibdin (1745 - 1814). Seen half-length slightly to left within rectangular frame, eyes to front, wearing a dark, unbuttoned coat over a light waistcoat and cravat. Dibdin was successful in a number of fields and was notably the manager of Sadler's Wells and various other theatres. With regards to his song writing, he is best known for his nautical songs, in spite of the fact that he was only at sea for one brief voyage. Dibdin idealized sailors and wrote of them as noble heroes with faithful sweethearts and wives. His songs were popular not only in England, but in Canada and America before and during the American Revolution and during the War of 1812. He became one of the most celebrated songwriters in Britain.
