John Carteret, second Earl Granville (1690-1763), politician.

Carteret's opposition to Walpole was a leitmotif of his career. Watercolour by George Perfect Harding (1779/80-1853), miniature painter. Harding devoted himself to producing minute copies in watercolour of works of historical and antiquarian interest. Examples of his work are in several major British institutions.

A full-length portrait of George Cartwright (c.1739-1819), wearing furs and snowshoes, leading a blinkered greyhound. In 1768, after serving in the army, Cartwright travelled to Newfoundland and Labrador, attempting to trade with the Inuit for furs. In 1772 he returned to London with five Inuit to exhibit, four of whom died of smallpox. The fifth, a woman called Qavvik, returned home in 1773 taking the disease with her: less than a year later Cartwright noted that ''The Inuit of southern Labrador were almost entirely wiped out by the disease". In 1786 Cartwright returned to England for good and published his diary, 'A Journal of Transactions and Events during a Residence of nearly Sixteen Years on the Coast of Labrador', to which this is an illustration.

Second Edition with Improvements.
London. Printed for John Cary, Engraver, Map & Printseller, Strand. 1st Jan.y 1791. [&] London: Printed for John Cary, No. 181 Strand, 1802 [-3].
Two works in one; 8vo (180 x 120mm, 7 x 4¾"), original full diced calf travelling case with empty pockets front and back. 'Companion': engr. title, pp. (iv)+(6)+(2)(ads); index map, 42 maps printed back to back, 1 folding map. 'Itinerary': engr. title & dedication; pp. (iv)+(1)(ad)+868+(2)(ads). All maps with original hand colour. With the bookplate of Henry Pakenham-Mahon of Strokeston Park. Binding with tear to flap, some wear and fading. Folding map of Yorkshire with tear on fold; two folding maps of 'Itinerary' both trimmed to allow opening of segments, one segment loose, with tears on folds.
An unusual travelling edition of two works by John Cary. The 'Traveller's Companion' has a map of England and Wales, 41 counties and maps of North & South Wales. The 'Itinerary' has two road maps of England & Wales, with extensive indexes of the roads. The adverts list some of Cary's maps, with one page dedicated to his globes. The empty pockets in the covers would most likely contain larger folding maps not called for in either the 'Companion' or 'Itinerary'. Henry Pakenham-Mahon (1851-1922) was an amateur photographer: in 2012, a collection of 324 of his glass plates was uncovered at Strokestown Park including several explicit images of live models. Strokestown (in County Roscommon, Ireland) is now home to the National Irish Famine Museum. Henry's grandfather was Denis Mahon, whose responce to a rent strike by his tenants at Strokestown was to evict them and force them to sail to Quebec in 1847, filling four ships. When news came back to Ireland that nearly half the passengers had died on route (primarily from cholera) Mahon was ambushed and shot dead, to general celebration.

Half-length portrait of a man with moustache and long beard wearing a loose gown, and ring on the ring finger of his left hand, which holds a book closed with two clasps, lying on a parapet.
