Aleksandr Vasilyevich Suvorov (1729-1800), Russian military commander. He was the fourth and last generalissimo of the Russian Empire. He was one of the few great generals in history who never lost a battle, and he was famed for his military manual 'The Science of Victory'. This print was published in 1799, soon after Suvorov (aged 68) led his forces to victories at Cassano d'Adda and Trebbia in the Italian campaign which contributed to driving French troops from Italy and therefore ensured his popularity in England.

[Aleksandr Vasilyevich Suvorov] Field Marshal Count Alexander Suwarrow Rimniskoy Commander in Chief of the Combined Armies in Italy.
C. Hampe del. N. Schiavonetti Sculp.
London Publish'd June 21st 1799, by
Stipple. 110 x 160mm (4¼ x 6¼"), with large margins.
Half portrait set in a roundel of Alexander Vasilievich Suvoroff (c.1729-1800), the fourth (and last) Generalissimo of Russia, famed for never losing a battle, fighting 63. The portrait celebrates his successes in Italy (1799-1800), when his combined Austro-Russian army drove the French out of most of Italy. Promised a triumph, his emnity with the Tsar Paul meant it was never held. When Suvoroff died soon after his return Paul ensured his Generalissimo's funeral honours were downgraded to that of a field marshal. Undoubtedly this pettiness towards a national hero was one of the reasons Paul was assassinated by disaffected army officers less than a year later.

Lithograph with letterpress, scarce with very large margins. Sheet size: 435 x 330mm (17 x 13").
Swarthmoor Hall is a mansion in Swarthmoor, in the Furness area of Cumbria in North West England. It was the home of Thomas and Margaret Fell, the latter an important player in the founding of the Religious Society of Friends (Quaker) movement in the 17th century. Founder of the Quaker movement, George Fox (1624 - 1691) visited the Hall in 1652 when Thomas Fell was travelling as a judge. However, Fox had an audience with Margaret Fell who became interested in his new doctrines. When Thomas Fell returned home, he was persuaded by his wife and some others to listen to Fox, who successfully appealed to his pro-Parliamentary sentiments. Thomas Fell was never totally convinced by Fox's religious teachings, but he did allow his home to be used as a meeting house for the early Friends. They did so until 1691 when a meeting house was built nearby. A speech made by Fox in Kingston-Upon-Thames in 1686, outlining his ideas, is printed below the image. After the death of her husband Margaret Fell married George Fox, who between touring the world with his ideas, would live at Swarthmore.
