Painted by Keeling. Engraved by Thomas Lupton.
[n.d., c.1830.]
Half-length portrait of John Peter Boileau (1747-1837), quill and letter addressed to him at Tacolnestone Hall behind.

In 1804 he also bought a house in Mortlake which he named Castlenau House (his full name was Boileau de Castlenau, being descended from Hugenots who had fled France during the religious wars); he is commemorated with roads in Barnes called Castlenau and Boileau Road.

The Late Colonel William Horton, Founder of the Trade of Stafford.
Lithographed by Miss H. Whalley [after Michael Keeling]. W. Lake, Printer, 50 Old Bailey, London.
[n.d., c.1830.]
Packing paper with scuff.
William Horton (1750-1832) was one of the first to manufacture shoes on a large scale. In a warehouse on Mill Street (at the rear of his home at Chetwynd House) workers would cut out the leather parts of the shoe; outworkers would collect these shoe parts, assemble them in their own homes or workshops, and return the completed shoes to the warehouse to be paid and to collect more leather. At one time he employed over 1,000 workers, but the downturn caused by the Napoleonic Wars reduced the number to 300-400 by 1813. He was Lieutenant Colonel in the local volunteer militia, became Mayor of Stafford in 1804, and issued token coinage under his name between 1798 and 1803. Richard Brinsley Sheridan the playwright and local was a close friend.
