John Wilkes Esq.r.
Drawn from the Life and Etched in Aquafortis by Willm. Hogarth.
Price 1 Shilling. Publish'd according to Act of Parliament May ye 16. 1763.
Etching. 355 x 230mm (14 x 9"). Trimmed just within plate at bottom, crease across top.
Caricature portrait of John Wilkes (1725 - 1797), holding a pole topped by the cap of Liberty. The personal friendship of Hogarth & Wilkes did not stop the two attacking each other in caricature and pamphlet. Early in 1763 Wilkes had antagonised Hogarth by mocking his acceptance of royal payment; here Hogarth retaliates with this satirical portrait of Wilkes during his trial for an attack on George III in his satirical journal 'The North Briton'. On the reverse is pasted an election bill for Montgomery for the General Election of 1802, advertising the support of 'Lady Harriot'. (Henrietta Clive, sister of George Edward Henry Arthur Herbert, 2nd Earl of Powis, and daughter-in-law of Clive of India) and 'two Clives for Ever' for an unnamed candidate. Very scarce local publication line 'Griffiths Printers Bishop's Castle'.
