Bishop Bonner.
[n..d, c.1800.]
Engraving. Sheet 80 x 155mm (7 x 10"). Trimmed, laid on album paper.
A half-length satirical portrait in oval of Edmund Bonner (c. 1500-1569), Bishop of London 1539-49 and 1553-59, raising a willow switch above his head. This image is a detail from a scene of him punishing a heretic from 'Foxe's Book of Martyrs' (1563). Bonner originally supported Henry VIII's schism from Rome but, in the reign of Edward VI, opposed the king's role as head of the Church, for which he was removed from office and imprisoned in the Marshalsea, a prison in Southwark. He was restored by Mary I and began persecuting Protestants, earning the nickname 'Bloody Bonner'. Elizabeth sent him back to the Marshalsea in 1560, where he remained until he died. Not recorded in Clayton, perhaps a connection to James Gillray.

Charter of Liberties. Cardinal Langton, Archbishop of Canterbury, producing to the Barons and the rest of the Assembly at S.t Edmund's Bury, the Charter granted by Henry the 1st, in which that Monarch pledged himself to abolish the arbitrary Laws of the Normans then in force... Engraved from the Original Picture in the Gallery of the University of Oxford.
Painted by W. Martin. Engraved by W. Ward.
London. Pub.d Dec.r 16, 1795 by W. Martin, Hamilton Street, Piccadilly.]
Mezzotint, printed in colours and hand-finished. Sheet 560 x 620mm (22 x 26"). Trimmed within plate, repaired tears and cracks, creased, backed with paper.
Cardinal Stephen Langton standing behind the altar in Bury St Edmund's in 1213, pointing to the Charter of Liberties, the barons of England raising their hands in agreement. The Charter of Liberties was issued by Henry I upon his ascension to the throne in 1100, addressing abuses of royal power, such as over-taxation of the barons, the abuse of vacant sees, and the practices of simony and pluralism. It was generally ignored by monarchs until 1213, when Langton, the Archbishop of Canterbury, reminded the nobles that their liberties had been guaranteed a century before. In the face of such unified opposition King John opened negotiations and the Magna Carta was signed two years later. The quality of the colour printing is particularly good. Frankau 55, ii of ii.
