John Bacon the Elder (1740-1799), was a sculptor, responsible for some important monuments, and a variety of statues in London and elsewhere. He was born in Southwark, son of a clothworker, learnt modelling under a porcelain maker in Lambeth, and by 1867 had become a modeller for Mrs Coade's Lambeth factory, while studying at the Royal Academy Schools. He later also worked for Wedgewood. He was elected an Associate of the Royal Academy in 1770, and full Academician in 1777, and it was from around this time that he began to win major commissions for sculptural works, including in 1779 the monument to Chatham in Westminster Abbey.

Sir Joseph Banks (1743-1820), English naturalist, botanist and patron of the natural sciences holding a 'Carte de la Lune par J. Russell' (map of the moon by J. Russell). Banks was leading founder of the African Association, a British organisation dedicated to the exploration of Africa, and a member of the Society of Dilettanti, which helped to establish the Royal Academy. He joined James Cook on his first voyage around the Pacific, and they came across New Zealand and Australia, where Cook mapped the coastline and made landfall at Botany Bay and at Endeavour River. Banks took a great interest in the British colonisation of the continent and was to be the greatest proponent of settlement of New South Wales. He was in fact the general advisor to the government on all Australian interests.

Half-length portrait of Henry Sacheverell (1674-1724), in an oval. He was an English High Church clergyman and politician. He came to fame when preacher at St Saviour's, Southwark. His famous sermons on the church in danger from the neglect of the Whig ministry to keep guard over its interests were preached, the one at Derby on 15 August 1709, the other 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, and, as the passions of the whole British population were at this period keenly exercised between the rival factions of Whig and Tory; Sacheverell's arguments on behalf of the church which supplied the Tories with most of their support made him their idol.
