Two 'cubs' (ie sons of Henry Fox, first Baron Holland of Foxley) ride on horseback.

First in a set of twelve prints by William Austin (1721/33-1820), drawing-master and engraver.

London, Published by J.Asperne, Cornhill, December 1st 1811.
Stipple engraving. Sheet 220 x 130mm (8½ x 5"). Three small holes in right margins.
Portrait of Joseph Huddart FRS (1741–1816) was a British hydrographer, engineer and inventor. He surveyed harbours and coasts but made a fortune from improving the design and manufacture of rope. He was highly regarded in his time, and his likeness featured in an engraving of distinguished men of science. Huddart was chosen to feature in the central group of the picture with M. I. Brunel, James Watt, Matthew Boulton and Thomas Telford. In 1778 he started out on four voyages to the east, eventually in command of the East Indiaman Royal Admiral for her maiden and two subsequent voyages. He completed surveys of the coast of India and Sumatra. From 1788 he completed surveys of the Hebrides and in 1791 he became a fellow of the Royal Society and joined the management of Trinity House as an elder brother. He took charge of enquiries regarding light, lighthouses and charts and he supervised and directed the construction of the Hurst Point Lighthouse. Huddart's guide to navigation to China and New Holland was published in 1801
