Flamsteed.
J: Gibson pinx. Jos.h Baker Sculp.
[n.d., c.1795]
Engraving, plate 175 x 110mm (6¾ x 4¼), with margins.
Half-length portrait of John Flamsteed, in an oval, slightly turned to the left, one hand at his breast, dressed in an academic gown with bands at his neck and with a periwig on his head. Illustration to a magazine. John Flamsteed FRS (1646 –1719) was an English astronomer and the first Astronomer Royal. His main achievements were the preparation of a 3,000-star catalogue, Catalogus Britannicus, and a star atlas called Atlas Coelestis, both published posthumously. He also made the first recorded observations of Uranus, although he mistakenly catalogued it as a star, and he laid the foundation stone for the Royal Greenwich Observatory.

Tho: Gibson pinxit Geo: Vertue Sculpsit 1716
Engraving, platemark 380 x 280mm (15 x 11"), with very large margins.
Admiral of the Fleet Edward Russell, 1st Earl of Orford, PC (1653-1727), First Lord of the Admiralty under King William III. Russell was named Lieutenant at the age of eighteen and saw active service in the North Sea before serving in the Mediterranean in the operations against the Barbary Pirates with Sir John Narborough and Arthur Herbert (1676-82). In 1683 he fell into disfavour with Charles II after the discovery of his connection with the Rye House Plot. In 1688, Russell was one of the Immortal Seven, a group of English nobleman who issued the Invitation to William, a document asking William of Orange to depose King James II. In the subsequent War of the Grand Alliance, Russell served at sea, commanding a fleet after 1690. In 1692, Russell was Commander-in-Chief of the Anglo-Dutch force that fought the French fleet at Barfleur, and destroyed much of it at La Hogue, his victory there being the decisive naval battle of the war. Russell became First Lord of the Admiralty in 1694, remaining in that post until 1699. He served in the Mediterranean from 1694 to 1695 and was created Baron Shingey, Viscount Barfleur, and Earl of Orford in 1697.

His famous sermons on the church in danger from the neglect of the Whig ministry to keep guard over its interests were preached at Derby on 15 August 1709, and at St Paul's Cathedral on 5 November 1709. 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.
