John Churchill, first duke of Marlborough (1650-1722), soldier and statesman. Rising to become a confidential agent of James, Duke of York, Churchill played a major role in crushing Monmouth's rebellion when James became King in 1685. Just three years later, however, he abandoned his Catholic king in favour of the protestant William of Orange. His influence at court reached its height with the accession of Queen Anne. Promoted to Commander-in Chief of the allied forces, he achieved huge victories against the French in the War of the Spanish Succession. However, the increasing unpopularity of the war and Marlborough's arrogance contributed to his dismissal by Anne in 1711. He eventually regained favour with the accession of George I in 1714.

[n.d. c.1720.]
A very fine and rare mezzotint. Plate 291 x 211mm. Trimmed to just outside of the platemark.
Admiral of the Fleet Edward Russell, 1st Earl of Orford, PC (1653-1727) was the First Lord of the Admiralty under King William III. He was one of the first gentleman officers of the Royal Navy regularly bred to the sea. In 1671, he was named Lieutenant at the age of eighteen and was promoted to Captain in the following year. In the Third Anglo-Dutch War he saw active service in the North Sea in 1672 and 1673. Russell later served in the Mediterranean in the operations against the Barbary Pirates with Sir John Narborough and Arthur Herbert from 1676 to 1682. In 1683 he ceased to be employed, as all of the members of the Russell family had fallen into disfavour with the King after the discovery of Lord Russell's 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.

[Jacob Gole, c.1695]
Mezzotint, fine, proof before all letters; platemark 290 x 205mm (11½ x 8"). Thread margins; glued to backing sheet on left edge.
Edward Russell, earl of Orford (1652-1727), naval officer. In 1671, Russell was made lieutenant at the age of eighteen. He was promoted to captain in the following year. In the third Anglo-Dutch War he saw active service in the North Sea, before serving in the Mediterranean with Sir John Narborough and Arthur Herbert from 1676 to 1682. He served on the Tangier station in 1680 (it was then a British possession) and acquired a substantial fortune through illicit trading. This fortune was believed by Pepys to have been the reason why Russell resigned his command in 1683 after the discovery of the Rye House Plot. In 1688, Russell was one of the Immortal Seven, a group of English noblemen who issued the invitation to 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 was created Baron Shingey, Viscount Barfleur, and Earl of Orford in 1697.
