[London, 1899 by William Heinemann].
Lithographic reproduction of a hand-coloured woodcut. Printed area: 245 x 230mm. (9½ x 9"). Some foxing. Laid on board as issued.
Cecil John Rhodes born in July 1853 (1853 - 1902) was an imperialist and benefactor who shaped the economic and political development of South Africa and extended British influence into what is now Zimbabwe. From the folio of twelve portraits by William Nicholson published in 1899, although the print was first included in the 'New Review' in 1897, shortly after he appeared before a Parliamentary Inquiry for his role in the overthrow of the Boer government in the Transvaal, which was subsequently vindicated by Parliament. The 'decision to include Rhodes' portrait in the 'New Review' (a journal with strong imperialist sympathies) was probably made at the time of Rhodes' exoneration' (Campbell).

In the foreground are papers including: 'Hints on draining Lough Neagh'; 'Edinburg Review'; 'To Dr. Richard Clonfeckle London'; 'Denmark Treatise'; 'Giants Causeway'; 'Whin Dyke'; 'Reveuers Reveu'd'; 'Workington Curwen'; 'Letter for the Farmers Journal'.

[Cardinal Richelieu]

[after Philippe de Champaigne, 1600]

Armand Jean du Plessis, Cardinal-Duke of Richelieu and of Frontac (1585-1642), French clergyman, nobleman and statesman. Richelieu became a cardinal in 1622 and Louis XIII's chief minister in 1642. On his death he was succeeded in this position by his protegé, Cardinal Mazarin. A shrewd statesman who played a key role in the transformation of France into a modern centralized state and helped ensure French dominance in the Thirty Years' War (1618-48), Richelieu was also a great patron of the arts, whose achievements in this field included the founding of the Académie Française. From 'Les Portraits des Hommes Illustres Francois qui sont Peints dans la Galerie du Palais Cardinal de Richelieu' (1660). The book reproduces the portraits of great men (and women) hanging in Richelieu's 'Galerie des hommes illustres' by Simon Vouet and Philippe de Champaigne (although only four of the original paintings survive). This portrait, of Richelieu himself, concluded the sequence. Champaigne painted several versions of the portrait, including those in the National Gallery, London, and the Louvre.
