After a drawing in the collection of John Spencer Smith Esq.r late his Majesty's Minister Plenipotentiary at the Ottoman Porte, &c. &c. &c.
J.T. Serres Del. J. Jeakes Aculp.
Published [scratched out, c.1805.]
Scarce colour-printed aquatint with hand finishing. 430 x 570mm (17 x 22½"), on Whatman paper.
A view of the arrival of Two Royal Navy ships, both captured from the French, at Constantinople. 'La Bonne Citoyen' was carrying the Turkish Ambassador back to the city, protected by Le Tigre, commanded by Sir William Sydney Smith. The vessels and several Constantinople landmarks are identified by a key at the top of the print. At this time Napoleon had brought an army of 13,000 north out of Egypt into Ottoman Syria, capturing Gaza and Jaffa before moving onto Acre. Smith sailed from Constantinople and helped reinforce Acre's defences, then captured the French artillery being carried by sea for the siege. Thus weakened, Napoleon made two assaults on Acre before withdrawing back to Egypt. His ambitions in the Levant thwarted, Napoleon said of Smith: 'That man made me miss my destiny'.

A Consultation of Surgeons.
[Oxford Magazine, 1769.]
Etching. 120 x 170mm (4¾ x 6¾").
A group of surgeons debate the death of George Clarke: one says 'Gold is good evidence and carries great weight'', as the chairman decides 'This convinces me that Cl-k did not dye of the Wound he received at Br-d [Brentford]'. Two Irish chairmen, said to have been employed by Sir William Proctor, Wilkes's opponent in the election, were found guilty of the murder of George Clarke on 14 January 1769, but were pardoned after the College of Surgeons had been consulted. According to the Oxford Magazine, in which this satire was published, the consultation, or 'Chirurgical Examination' was held in secret. The Gentleman's Magazine, 1769, p.136, gave the names of those present as Benjamin Cowell, William Bromfield, Stafford Crane, John Ranby, Caesar Hawkins, David Middleton, Christopner Fullager, Robert Young, Percival Pott and Mr Gregory.

From John Cam Hobhouse's 'A Journey Through Albania, and other Provinces of Turkey in Europe and Asia, to Constantinople'.

He became a Privy Councillor in 1832.

Be Content in every Station. Fortune who no Diversion knows/ Like disappointment laughs to see,/ How variously she can her Gifts transpose,/ Sometimes to one, Sometimes to another free./ Be sure to enjoy her while she's pleas'd to stay./ But if for flight she does prepare,/ Don't you at parting drop a Tear,/ But hold your Virtue fast for that alone you may./ Fortune a Goddess is to fools alone,/ The wise are always Masters of their own.

[n.d., c.1792.]
Etching. Sheet: 240 x 190mm (9½ x 7½''). Part of etching, trimmed, laid on album sheet.
Part of a satirical print commenting on the barbarity of the French Revolution, the complete image consists of two medallions this part is the left medallion. The medallion shows the figure of Britannia holding the Magna Carta and the scales of Justice, beneath the medallion are positive words like 'Protection', 'Morality' and 'Loyalty'. The missing right medallion is a contrasting medallion showing a murderous Fury walking over the dead while carrying a trident with a head impaled on it representing the French Revolution. Beneath this oval are inscribed words such as 'Rebellion', 'Cruelty' and 'Injustice'. Etched by Rowlandson after a design by Lord George Murray, a Kent clergyman, these prints were circulated as propaganda by the Crown and Anchor Society; the price of the etching was low in order to maximise circulation.

[Thomas Rowlandson.]

Etching. Sheet: 240 x 190mm (9½ x 7½''). Part of etching, trimmed, laid on album sheet.
Part of a satirical print commenting on the barbarity of the French Revolution, the complete image consists of two medallions this part is the left medallion. The medallion shows the figure of Britannia holding the Magna Carta and the scales of Justice, beneath the medallion are positive words like 'Protection', 'Morality' and 'Loyalty'. The missing right medallion is a contrasting medallion showing a murderous Fury walking over the dead while carrying a trident with a head impaled on it representing the French Revolution. Beneath this oval are inscribed words such as 'Rebellion', 'Cruelty' and 'Injustice'. Etched by Rowlandson after a design by Lord George Murray, a Kent clergyman, these prints were circulated as propaganda by the Crown and Anchor Society; the price of the etching was low in order to maximise circulation.

Conventual Love. For the General Magazine.
[n.d., c.1787.]
Stipple, printed in sanguine, scarce. Sheet 195 x 120mm (7¾ x 4¾"). Trimmed into printed border.
A young man approaches a finely-dressed woman in an Italianate cityscape. A scene from one of Jean de la Fontaine's fables: Philippe, who, in dedication to God, retired to a mountain cave where his son grew up free from temptation. When, at age twenty, the youth emerged, Philippe truthfully explained to him all that he saw until they came to a party of young women. 'What is that?' asked the youth. 'A party of geese', his father replied. 'Father, I beg you, let us take one with us.' It was probably published in the 'General Magazine and Impartial Review', published briefly in 1787 by Thomas Bellamy (1745-1800).
