Sir Joshua Reynolds pinx. / J. Hall sculp.
Publish'd according to Act of Parliament Jan. 1.st 1775 by T. Cadell in the Strand.
Engraving, sheet 170 x 105mm (7 x 4"). Trimmed inside platemark.
John Hawkesworth (c.1720 - 1773), writer. He is said to have been clerk to an attorney, and was certainly self-educated. In 1744, he succeeded Samuel Johnson as compiler of the parliamentary debates for the Gentleman's Magazine. In company with Johnson and others, he started a periodical called 'The Adventurer', which ran to 140 issues, of which 70 were from the pen of Hawkesworth himself. Hawkesworth was a close imitator of Johnson both in style and thought, and was at one time on very friendly terms with him. It is said that he presumed on his success, and lost Johnson's friendship as early as 1756. Hawkesworth is most remembered today for his compiling of the three-volume 'An account of the voyages undertaken by the order of His present Majesty for making discoveries in the Southern Hemisphere...', which contained the official account of James Cook's first circumnavigation, on which Cook mapped New Zealand and the east coast of Australia accurately for the first the time. 'As a man of versatile talents who was widely read and a leading figure in the cultural life of eighteenth-century London, his virtual eclipse in the twentieth century seems curious' (DNB). Frontispiece to 'The Adventurer'.

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.

A portrait of Samuel Johnson (1709-1784), in a decorative trompe l'oeil border with Johnson's date of birth and death above. Johnson was an English author who made lasting contributions to English literature as a poet, essayist, moralist, novelist, literary critic, biographer, editor and lexicographer. Johnson was a devout Anglican and political conservative, and has been described as "arguably the most distinguished man of letters in English history". He is also the subject of "the most famous single work of biographical art in the whole of literature": James Boswell's Life of Samuel Johnson. After working as a teacher he moved to London, where he began to write essays for The Gentleman's Magazine. His later works included essays, an influential annotated edition of William Shakespeare's plays, and the widely read novel Rasselas. In 1763, he befriended James Boswell, with whom he later travelled to Scotland; Johnson described their travels in A Journey to the Western Islands of Scotland. Towards the end of his life, he produced the massive and influential Lives of the Most Eminent English Poets, a collection of biographies and evaluations of 17th- and 18th-century poets.

Scene depicting members of the Nootka, or Nuu-chah-nuth, peoples. The Nuu-chah-nuth are an indigenous people of the Pacific North West of Canada. When James Cook first encounted the Nuu-chah-nuth peoples in 1778, he mistook their order 'nuutkaa' (to circle around into the harbour) for the name of the harbour which is now known as Nootka Sound. The harbour is depicted in the image and a European ship can be seen in the distance.

William Penn's (1644 - 1718) 'Great Treaty' was reputedly signed with Delaware Indian leaders in 1682 under an ancient elm tree at the village of Shackamaxon, located in what are now the borders of the city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. This highly detailed depiction of the event, shows Penn in the centre left, with his arms open, his entourage beside him, two of his men kneeling, offering gifts to the Indians who are assembled at the right. Buildings in construction can be seen behind at the left, with boats on the sea at right. The painting by Benjamin West (1738 - 1820), who was born in Pennsylvania, is now in the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. West was the first American-born artist to receive international recognition and remains one of the most important eighteenth-century painters of historical scenes. He enjoyed a career that endured more than half a century that included serving as president of the Royal Academy. William Penn, quaker leader and founder of Pennsylvania, was the first great hero of American liberty. During the late seventeenth century, Penn established an American sanctuary which protected freedom of conscience. Almost everywhere else, colonists stole land from the Indians, but Penn travelled unarmed among the Indians and negotiated peaceful purchases. He insisted that women deserved equal rights with men. He gave Pennsylvania a written constitution which limited the power of government, provided a humane penal code, and guaranteed many fundamental liberties. For the first time in modern history, a large society offered equal rights to people of different races and religions. Penn's dramatic example caused quite a stir in Europe. The French philosopher Voltaire, a champion of religious toleration, offered lavish praise. 'William Penn might, with reason, boast of having brought down upon earth the Golden Age, which in all probability, never had any real existence but in his dominions'.
