Engraving, platemark 340 x 255mm (13½ x 10"). Small margins.
William Pitt the Younger (1759-1806), prime minister. In 1782, at the age of twenty-three, Pitt was appointed Chancellor of the Exchequer in the ministry of Lord Shelburne as Chancellor of the Exchequer. Shelburne resigned due to opposition from Charles James Fox and Lord North early in 1783, after which Pitt resigned, rejecting overtures to join forces with Fox and North. Following the impact of the American Revolution on the Fox-North coalition, Pitt took advantage of this to secure his administration, and began to enact his agenda. Later that year he became the youngest ever Prime Minister in 1783 at the age of 24. Engraving after a portrait by William Owen (1769-1825), whose sitters also included Lord Grenville and Sir John Soane, many of whose paintings of rustic subjects also became popular engraving. Owen was made portrait painter to the prince of Wales in 1810 but met an unfortunate end, dying of poisoning after a chemist's assistant mistakenly gave him a bottle of opium instead of the correct medication.
