Frère Jacques Beaulieu. Célèbre Lithotomiste.
Lith. Paul Petit et c.ie.
[n.d., c.1860.]
Scarce lithograph on chine collé. Sheet 170 x 130mm (6¾ x 5") very large margins.
A portrait of Jacques Beaulieu (or Baulot, 1651-1719), an itinerant lithotomist, a surgeon specialising in the removal of calculi like kidney and gall stones. After a short career as a cavalry private, he had a six-year apprenticeship with another travelling surgeon. He travelled around with four assistants, who prepared his patients with cupping and blood-letting, before operating on all of them on the same day, usually leaving as soon as possible to avoid repercussions. From 1690 he donned the robes of a Dominican monk and started calling himself frère, without ordination. In 1697, in a session at the Hôtel Dieu in Paris, he performed a lithotomy in less than a minute and 10 more in less than an hour, with a 53.5% mortality rate while the average at the time was 14%, resulting in a five-year ban from practicing in Paris. He performed around 5,000 lithotomies before retiring in 1711. Based on a life-time portrait.

Almost half-length portrait of John Carteret, 2nd Earl Granville (1690-1763), in an oval. Looking towards the viewer, wearing robes trimmed with fur, a broad white fur collar, plain white cravat, cape tied to left shoulder with a large bow, and long wig. Below a crest with the motto 'Loyal Devior'. Carteret was appointed ambassador-extraordinary to Sweden in 1719, a position in which he triumphed by rescuing the Swedes (facing disaster following the death of Charles XII) from domination by Russia. During his absence, however, the rise of Robert Walpole resulted in Carteret's being sidelined through a transfer to the lord lieutenancy of Ireland. Carteret's opposition to Walpole was a leitmotif of his career.

They were immediately reprinted, the latter being dedicated to the lord mayor and the former to the author's kinsman, George Sacheverell who was high sheriff of Derbyshire that year, and, as the passions of the whole British population were at this period keenly exercised between the rival factions of Whig and Tory; Sacheverell's arguments on behalf of the church which supplied the Tories with most of their support made him their idol.
