Robert Walpole, 1st Earl of Orford (1676-1745), was a Whig statesman; in all but name he was Prime Minister, 1721-42. In an oval frame decorated with feathers, on a table draped with a cloth and covered with scrolls and a royal standard. Curtain above to left, his country seat Houghton Hall visible through columns in distance to right. Walpole came to office in the wake of the South Sea Bubble crisis and built up British prosperity in a long period of peace by his economic reforms. He obtained more power than any previous minister and remained in office for over twenty years, resorting to bribery and patronage to overcome unpopularity. His reign came to an end when he was drawn into an unsuccessful war with Spain. From 'Ædes Walpolianæ: or, a description of the collection of pictures at Houghton-Hall in Norfolk, the seat of the Right Honourable Sir Robert Walpole, Earl of Orford' probably printed by John Hughs in 1748. Numbered 'Vol.2. P.225' upper right. After Christian Friedrich Zincke (1684? - 1767), portrait-miniaturist in enamel, born in Dresden; worked in England from 1706, living in Tavistock Street, Covent Garden, and, from 1746, in Lambeth.

Sir Walter Scott And Family.
D. Wilkie 1817 [signed and dated in plate.] Painted by Sir David Wilkie.
[c.1855.]
Engraving, 380 x 510mm. 11 x 20".
Sir Walter Scott, 1st Baronet (1771 – 1832) was a prolific Scottish historical novelist and poet popular throughout Europe during his time. In some ways Scott was the first author to have a truly international career in his lifetime, with many contemporary readers all over Great Britain, Ireland, Europe, Australia, and North America. His novels and (to a lesser extent) his poetry are still read, but he is far less popular nowadays than he was at the height of his fame. Nevertheless many of his works remain classics of English literature. Famous titles include Ivanhoe, Rob Roy, The Lady of the Lake, Waverley and The Heart of Midlothian. After David Wilkie (1785 - 1841).

This print is black-lined presumably in memory of the great loss of life. A report from the Liverpool Mercury on Friday the 11th of January stated that the Sunday past had seen strong gusts of wind, but many vessels went to sea as there was nothing to indicate that a huge storm was about to follow the winds…...The losses recorded at sea were damaging. Many ships were battered and wrecked at sea, as well as in the coastal ports. Many ships that were lost and damaged are named in the narrative, as well as giving lists for some of the seamen who were lost or rescued the day after the hurricane. All areas of the country suffered looses at sea, as well as casualties and fatalities in the ports.
