[Drawn & engraved by John Faber.]
Printed for Ca: Bowles in St Pauls Church Yard, London [n.d., c.1760.]
Mezzotint, 18th century watermark. 355 x 255mm (14 x 9¾").
Portrait of the philosopher John Locke (1632-1704) taken from a bust at the Royal Palace at Kew, now the Royal Botanic Gardens. In 1730 Queen Caroline commissioned a 'hermitage', decorated with a series of five marble busts by the English sculptor Michael Rysbrack to celebrate British philosphers: Locke, Isaac Newton, Robert Boyle, Samuel Clarke and William Wollaston. Unfortunately the Hermitage no longer exists. Locke was a staunch supporter of the Williamite cause and the Glorious Revolution of 1688, which brought William III of Orange to the throne. Locke’s philosophy, particularly his ‘Two Treatises of Government’, provided the intellectual justification for the new constitutional order, asserting that government relies on the consent of the governed.

Rare engraving. Sheet 265 x 160mm (10½ x 6¼"). Trimmed within plate. Slight creasing.
Colonel John Michelburne (1648-1721), defender of Derry during the siege of 1689 in the Williamite War in Ireland, said to have raised the ''Bloody Flag'' on the Royal Bastion. Following the death of Henry Baker he was chosen as governor by the besieged. When Conrad von Rosen, commander of the Jacobite army, herded the local Protestants under the city walls to dispirit the defenders, Michelburne's answer was to erect a gallows on the Royal Bastion, and threaten to hang all the Jacobite prisoners. James II saw what a public relations disaster this was and overruled Rosen.

Fine mezzotint. 340 x 250mm (13¼ x 9¾"). Small margins.
Portrait of Charles Seymour (1662-1748), 6th Duke of Somerset, best known for rebuilding Petworth House. Macaulay described him as ''a man in whom the pride of birth and rank amounted almost to a disease''. Seymour served as Chancellor of the University of Cambridge. This portrait is from David Loggan's 'Cantabrigia Illustrata'. Known as "The Proud Duke," supported the Williamite cause during the Glorious Revolution. While initially a courtier to James II, he broke with him in 1687 by refusing to entertain the papal nuncio and later supported William of Orange. Despite his support for William, he was closer to Princess Anne and was not always in high favour with King William III.

The accession of James II brought him back into royal favour, and he was by the king's side until he fled London in 1688. Although he soon switched allegiance to William and Mary, he joined other Tory peers in refusing to sign a 1696 agreement to support William III as their "rightful and lawful king" against Jacobite attempts, again losing his offices. He became a favourite of Queen Anne, who gave his the title Duke of Buckingham and Normanby the year after her accession.

Sheffield was stripped of his offices by Charles II after he suggested marriage to the duke of York's daughter Anne (later queen). The accession of James II brought him back into royal favour, and he was by the king's side until he fled London in 1688. Although he soon switched allegiance to William and Mary, he joined other Tory peers in refusing to sign a 1696 agreement to support William III as their "rightful and lawful king" against Jacobite attempts, again losing his offices. He became a favourite of Queen Anne, who gave his the title Duke of Buckingham and Normanby the year after her accession.

Scarce mezzotint. Sheet 315 x 250mm (12½ x 9¾"). Trimmed into image, losing inscription area, laid on album paper, ink collector's stamp lower right of image and on reverse.
An equestrian portrait of William IV of Orange (1711-51), before a battlefield. It is based on Godfrey Kneller's portrait of Frederick de Schomberg as engraved by John Smith, with the same horse and background, but without the black pageboy. Because of the similarity of the plates there was some confusion as to states, with Chaloner Smith listing an example as a possible first state of his Smith 227 as well as ENA 75. Russell writes that this plate was originally Schomberg but was changed to portray William III, the Duke of Marlborough, William IV and, finally Marshall Keith.
