The Right Hon.ble William Pulteney, Earl of Bath &c.. Done from an Original Picture in the Possession of Lord Lyttelton.
A. Ramsay Pinxit. D. Martin Sculpt. 1763.
To be had of J. Boydell in Cheapside. J. Spilsbury in Russel Court Covent Garden & G. Steidel in Maddox Street.
Copper engraving. Plate 338 x 235mm. 13¼ x 9¼". Half laid on album sheet. Horizontal crease through centre. Slight foxing and tear on left.
William Pulteney, 1st Earl of Bath (1684-1764), Statesman. Throughout the reign of Queen Anne (1702-14), Pulteney played a prominent part in the Whig struggle to regain power from the Tories. He became a Whig Member of Parliament in 1705 and held a number of government posts before falling out with Sir Robert Walpole, the Whig Prime Minister. From his opposition faction, Pulteney was in a position to take over the government on three occasions, but failed to do so. When Walpole fell from power in 1742, Pulteney declined two requests by George II to form a government, accepting instead the first Lordship of the Treasury in the 1st Earl of Wilmington's ministry (1742-3) and the earldom of Bath.
