Hy Ld Percy of Alnwick [ms]
[Silvester Harding, c. 1801]
Watercolour and wash, 130 x 115mm (5 x 4½"). Tipped into album sheet with hand-drawn border.
Henry Percy, Baron Percy of Alnwick (c.1604-59), royalist army officer. Percy established himself within the circle of courtiers surrounding Charles I's queen, Henrietta Maria, and in 1639 was named as a colonel in the bishops' war against the Scots. He was a chief conspirator in a scheme to bring Charles I's army down from the north to intimidate parliament in 1641 but escaped punishment by providing a detailed account of conspiracy which gained him a reputation for treachery amongst royalists. Percy now retired to France where he remained a favourite of the exiled queen. Watercolour, probably after a detail of the half-length portrait by a follower of van Dyck (Petworth House) by Silvester Harding (1745/51-1809), artist and publisher. After setting up a shop in Fleet Street with his brother Edward in 1786, Harding was chiefly employed in drawing portraits of theatrical celebrities, and in copying ancient portraits in watercolours, as here. The partnership was dissolved by 1798 (before this watercolour was made). Harding was known to, and esteemed by the collectors of his day, and many examples of his work are in the British Museum. His son George Perfect Harding also specialised in watercolour copies of early portraits.

A large lithographed trade flyer, the upper two thirds occupied by a scene of Cologne Cathedral, with price for the perfumes below, and below that, an explanation. 290 x 225mm. In excellent clean condition, with one or two tiny tears or creases in the margins.
An interesting piece of ephemera connected with this famous maker of Eau de Cologne.

Casimir Pierre Périer (1777-1832) was a French statesman, President of the Council during the July Monarchy, when he headed the conservative Parti de la résistance. In 1798 he joined the army until in 1801 he founded a bank in Paris with his brother. In 1817 he entered the Chamber of Deputies for Paris, taking his seat in the Left Centre and making his first speech in defence of the freedom of the press. After becoming President of the Chamber of Deputies he was eventually summoned to power and in a short amount of time, managed to re-establish civic order in France; Jacques-Antoine Manuel (1775-1827) was a French lawyer, politician and noted orator. He fought in the Italian campaigns under Napoleon and in 1814 he was chosen a member of the Chamber of Representatives and in 1815 he protested against the restoration of the Bourbons; and Maximilien Sebastien Foy (1775-1825) was a French military leader, statesman and writer. He fought under Dumourier, PIchegru, Moreau, Masséna and others. In 1803, as colonel of the 5th regiment of the horse artillery, he refused the appointment of aide-de-camp on Napoleon's assumption of the imperial throne. He later served in Portugal and Spain before returning to France where in 1819, after embracing the case of the Emperor during the Hundred Days and the Waterloo, he was elected a member of the Chamber of Deputies. All three men were integral figures during the political shift in France at the turn of the 19th century.
