William Smith Esq.r M.P. To the Electors and Inhabitants of the City of Norwich This Plate of their Worthy Representative in Parliament is Inscribed by their obliged & very humble Serv.t W.C. Edwards.
Drawn and Engraved by W.C. Edwards, from a whole length picture painted by H. Thomson ESQ. R.A. in the Guildhall Norwich.
[n.d., c.1833.]
Engraving. Platemark: 430 x 330mm (17 x 13"). Small margins. Repaired damage to revese in left margin.
William Smith (1756-1835) was a politician of great power and change. He was a friend and close associate of William Wilberforce and was at the forefront of many campaigns for social justice and prison reform but most notably was his campaign for the abolition of slavery. He was Member of Parliament for Suffolk and Norwich for some years but it was in 1787 that he acted as the first to campaign for the abolition for the slave trade. In 1790 he supported Wilberforce in the slave trade debate and once the trade had been halted he helped Zachary Macaulay in 1823 found the ‘London Society for the Abolition of Slavery in our Colonies', thereby launching the next phase of the campaign to eradicate slavery. His involvement in the French Revolution was controversial, and he swiftly gained a reputation as a radical. He secretly arranged several meetings between William Pitt and Maret, Napoleon's foreign minister, in a desperate attempt to avoid war.

Etching on india. Plate 229 x 152mm. 9 x 6". Staining and foxing into the upper half of the paper.
William Smith (1808-1876) was a print-seller and antiquary. He started at Cambridge University but following his father's death, he and his brother succeeded to the business and he was obliged to abandon his studies. A year later in 1836 he purchased the collection of engravings formed by John Sheepshanks which were considered to be the most perfect in Europe, which he later sold to the British Museum. Among the collections which reached the Museum through his exertions were those of ‘Mr. Harding of Finchley’ in 1841, of Coningham in 1844 and 1845, selections from the Aylesford and Woodburn collections in 1847, and some etchings of the utmost rarity by Rembrandt, procured at Baron Verstolk's sale at Amsterdam in 1847. He took a prominent part in establishing the National Portrait Gallery, being appointed an original trustee, and chosen deputy chairman in 1858. He was also actively engaged in the management of the Art Union of London. He was elected a fellow of the Society of Antiquaries in 1852. His collections, which included many rare catalogues of galleries and exhibitions, with copious manuscript notes, he bequeathed to the library of the South Kensington Museum.

[William Smith.]
Drawn and Engraved by W.C. Edwards from a whole length picture painted by H. Thompson, Esq. R.A. in the Guildhall, Norwich.
[n.d. c.1833.]
Engraving. Proof before letters. Plate 432 x 325mm. 17 x 12¾". Slight scratch in left margin just inside plate mark.
William Smith (1756-1835) was a politician of great power and change. He was a friend and close associate of William Wilberforce and was at the forefront of many campaigns for social justice and prison reform but most notably was his campaign for the abolition of slavery. He was Member of Parliament for Suffolk and Norwich for some years but it was in 1787 that he acted as the first to campaign for the abolition for the slave trade. In 1790 he supported Wilberforce in the slave trade debate and once the trade had been halted he helped Zachary Macaulay in 1823 found the ‘London Society for the Abolition of Slavery in our Colonies’, thereby launching the next phase of the campaign to eradicate slavery. His involvement in the French Revolution was controversial, and he swiftly gained a reputation as a radical. He secretly arranged several meetings between William Pitt and Maret, Napoleon’s foreign minister, in a desperate attempt to avoid war.
