John Lord Belasyse Barron of Worlabye dureing ye late Warrs Lieutenant Generall of the Countyes of Yorke, Notingham, Lincolne and Darby [...]
An: Van Dyck pinxit R: White Sculpsit [c.1675].
Engraving. Sheet 295 x 210mm (11½ x 8¼"). Trimmed to border, mounted in album paper at edges.
John Belasyse, first Baron Belasyse of Worlaby (c.1615-89), royalist army officer, as portrayed in 1636 by Anthony van Dyck. An army officer from 1642, Belasyse was involved for much of the English Civil War although he was on the continent from 1648-50 and was imprisoned several times. His subsequent career included a spell as governor of Tangier and general of the royal forces in Africa (1665-6). A Catholic, he was impeached during the Titus Oates 'Popish Plot' of 1678-81, accused of being the Commander-in-Chief of the "Popish army". It is said that Charles II burst out laughing at the idea that this infirm old man, who could hardly stand on his feet due to gout, would be able even to hold a pistol.

[n.d., c.1692.]
Engraving. Sheet 260 x 170mm (15 x 10½"). Trimmed into image, losing part of title, laid on album paper at edges.
Sir Roger L'Estrange (1616-1704), a Royalist pamphleteer, best known for 'An Account of the Growth of Knavery', which ruthlessly attacked the parliamentary opposition, placing them as "dissenting fanatics". During the Civil War he was sentenced to death as a spy, but after four years' imprisonment in Newgate he escaped to Holland. Pardoned by Cromwell in 1653 he returned to England, and, after a few years of living quietly, he started printed pamphlets calling for the return of Charles II. After the Restoration he turned from poacher to gamekeeper: as 'Surveyor of the Imprimery' he was tasked with the prevention of the publication of dissenting writings, with the right to search the premises of printers and booksellers on the mere suspicion. In the 1660s he returned to journalism; he wrote questioning the truthfulness of Titus Oates during the Popish Plot of 1678; and in 1681 he started the 'Observator', a paper written in the form of a dialogue between a Whig and a Tory (biased to Toryism), which lasted six years. Knighted by James II in 1685, he served as MP for Winchester 1685-89); however he lost all his offices with the Glorious Revolution of 1688 and, having been arrested for suspected plots, turned to more academic writing, including acclaimed translations of Æsop's Fables and the works of Flavius Josephus.

[George Villiers.] Birmingham Aº 1624. [Top left]
AVD [supposed monogram of Antony van Dyck]. [Engraved by Captain William Baillie.]
[n.d., c.1785.]
Proof before title stipple and etching . Sheet 310 x 210mm (12¼ x 8¼"). Trimmed within plate.
A half-length portrait of George Villiers (1592-1628) wearing a high, stiff lace collar and doublet with slashed sleeves, the jewel of the garter on a ribbon around his neck. The plate was engraved by Captain William Baillie (1723-1810) who ascribed it to van Dyke. However the drawing he copied, now in the British Museum (1862,0524.19), was by Lucas Vosterman, probably itself taken from a painting by Daniel Mytens. Baillie retired from the army in 1761 and devoted himself to printmaking and dealing. He specialised in imitating old-master drawings and prints, using a variety of printmaking techniques. Villiers was a royal favourite of Kings James I and Charles I who dominated early 17th-century English politics. His failure to win foreign wars, extreme extravagance, and monopolization of patronage created deep political tensions that fueled the pre-Civil War crises before his assassination in 1628.
