The British Museum describes the sitter as Edward Meredith (c.1741-1824), bass singer of Liverpool. According to Fleming: ''One of the most acclaimed singers to be in the choir was Edward Meredith (d.1809), who had been discovered by Sir Watkin Williams Wynn in a cooper's workshop. Wynn subsequently paid for Meredith's education and launched him into a solo career. Meredith arrived in Durham in December 1778 and received a salary [as a lay-clerk] of £50 with an initial £10 given gratis. He quickly became crucial to the choir's concerts and filled the role of Polytheme in Acis and Galatea the following February. He also sang in Newcastle that same month''.

Very fine engraving. 495 x 361mm (19½ x 14¼"), large margins. Faint crease outside image.
Three-quarter length portrait of George Nugent-Temple-Grenville (1753-1813), 1st Marquess of Buckingham. As Lord Lieutenant of Ireland under Pitt, he was denounced by Grattan for extravagance and was censured by the Irish Houses of Parliament for refusing to transmit to England an address calling upon the Prince of Wales to assume the regency. He maintained his position by bribery for a time but resigned his office in September 1789. The engraver, John Keyes Sherwin (1751-1790), was a painter and engraver who succeeded Woollett as engraver to the king in 1785. Despite an income of more that £12,000 a year he died in penury in 1790 because, as the Encyclopedia Britannia describes him, he was "shiftless, indolent, and without method" and a reckless gambler. However the Encyclopedia also states that his portraits of Buckingham and Pitt (both after Gainsborough) "occupy a high place among the productions of the English school of line-engravers".
