A Fair-Lawn View - or the Portsmouth Journey. ''He that is robb'd not wanting / ''What is stolen, let him not know it, / ''And he's not robb'd at all.
[by Charles Williams.]
Pub,d Jan.y 1823 by S.W. Fores 41 Piccadilly.
Coloured etching, 240 x 335mm (9½ x 13¼"), on 18th century watermarked paper. Collectors stamp of Minto Wilson. Trimmed into plate.
A scene at Fairlawn house at Acton Green: a man (probably James Capy, Lord Portsmouth's valet) recoils at seeing Lady Portsmouth asleep in the arms of another man, while Lord Portsmouth sleeps on the farther side of the large bed. John Charles Wallop (1767-1853), 3rd Earl of Portsmouth, had an unsound mind from an early age. After the death of his first wife in 1813, John Hanson, his solicitor, quickly arranged the marriage of the earl and his own daughter, Mary Anne, intending to have the earl declared insane six months later. This failed (thanks to Lord Byron, who had given the bride away), so Mary Anne began an adulterous affair with William Alder, even having intercourse in the same bed with the Earl, fathering three children on her. Eventually it was discovered that the Earl was being badly mistreated by his new wife and her lover. He was adjudged to have been insane since 1809. In 1828 marriage was annulled, Mary Anne's children declared bastards and a judgment for the £40,000 cost of the trial was issued against her. She fled abroad.

A scene of the Duke of Berwick accepting the surrender of the Austrian-English-Dutch army after the Battle of Almansa, 25 April 1707, during the War of the Spanish Succession. James FitzJames (1670-1734) was the illegitimate son of James II by Arabella Churchill, born and raised in France. In 1687 his father made him Duke of Berwick and Governor of Portsmouth, although the Glorious Revolution prevented him taking up the post, joining his father in exile. After the Battle of the Boyne he joined the French army and showed similar abilities to his uncle, the Duke of Marlborough. His victory at Almansa was described by Frederick the Great as the most impressive battle of the century. Berwick was decapitated by a cannonball at the Siege of Philippsburg in 1734. From 'Portraits des grands hommes, femmes illustres et sujets mémorables de France', a series of colour prints published 1786-1792.

The times - or a view of the old house in little Brittain - with nobody going to Hannover.
[Thomas Rowlandson]
Pub:d Jan: 23. 1784 [the "8" perhaps written over a 7] by W. Humphrey N.o 227 Strand.
Hand-coloured etching, 230 x 325mm (9 x 13"). Trimmed within plate and tipped into album sheet.
This political satire represents Britain and its constitution as a dilapidated old inn, “The Old Building,” collapsing under mismanagement and corruption. On the left, the king (George III 1738-1820) appears to be leaving for Hanover while distressed subjects beg him to intervene. An all-seeing eye above urges him to “Turn out those Robbers and repair the House.” The inn is occupied by members of the Fox–North Coalition, portrayed as robbers. The building’s foundations, labelled “Public Credit” and “Funds,” are under strain, while a fox representing Charles James Fox (1749-1806) sits outside as the self-styled “Protector.” Lord North (1732-92) appears beside him, complacently declaring, “Give me my Ease And do as you Please.” The crown itself stands nearby on a block marked “To be Sold,” suggesting political corruption. Higher up, the constitutional supports of the building are being damaged. A beam labelled “Prerogative of the Crown” is nearly chopped through by government lawyers, while the sign “Magna Charta” hangs torn and falling. The balcony, supported by the unstable “Coalition,” is crowded with revellers including Edmund Burke (1729-97) and other coalition supporters, depicted as theatrical and disorderly figures. The upper structure symbolises the burdens imposed on the nation. An attic marked with references to the American War and a roof made entirely of stones labelled “Tax” suggest that years of political failure and excessive taxation threaten the stability of the whole constitutional edifice. The overall image presents the Coalition government as reckless occupants whose actions are bringing Britain to ruin.

Published March 1st 1812 by M Jones 5 Newgate Street.
Fine hand coloured etching, sheet 195 x 505mm (7¾ x 20"). Trimmed within plate and tipped into album paper at sides. Creases where folded.
Plate to the 'Scourge', iii. 173. Second state with 'Harford' removed from Lady Hertford's portrait. Satire on the Prince Regent and his brothers, the Dukes of Clarence, York, and Sussex, amusing themselves in a grand gallery while mocking their political and personal rivals. The Regent dances energetically, pointing at the departing Princess of Wales and remarking, “Off she goes.” Around him are caricatured courtiers, musicians, and political figures, including Lady Hertford, who displays a “Political Barometer” showing the fluctuating fortunes of Lords Grenville and Wellesley. On the right, the Duke of Sussex stands by a piano, smoking a long pipe and trampling a print of Lady Augusta Murray, while the Dukes of Clarence and York play cards with Mrs. Jordan and Mrs. Carey. The card game alludes to contemporary scandals involving Mrs. Clarke and Colonel Wardle. The room is filled with symbolic portraits, paintings, and objects satirizing the royal family and government. Notable details include an upside-down portrait of Fox, a concealed picture, an empty frame representing the absent Princess of Wales, and a pole topped with a cock's head that mocks Wellesley-Pole. Throughout, the print uses exaggerated caricature and visual symbolism to ridicule the Regent's circle, political manoeuvring, and family relationships.

[c.1703.]
Fine mezzotint. 345 x 250mm (13½ x 9¾"), large margins.
A half-length portrait in oval of Prince George Louis of Hessen-Darmstadt (1669-1705), wearing armour and the medallion of the Order of the Golden Fleece. A career soldier, he joined the Austrian army, serving under Prince Eugene of Savoy against the Turks in 1687. He then joined William of Orange in the Williamite War in Ireland, before returning to the Austrian army, in which he was promoted to major-general in 1692, aged only 23. After the Nine Years' War he became the Austrian viceroy in Catalonia, being replaced when Philip V became king of Spain, the spark that started the War of the Spanish Succession. It was his suggestion that, while passing through the Straits to Lisbon after a failed attack on Barcelona with Admiral Rooke, the marines should be used to capture Gibraltar, leading to Britain's continued possession of the Rock.

The grave slab of antiquarian Thomas Hearne (1678-1735), in the graveyard of St Peter-in-the-East, Oxford. Hearne was assistant keeper of the Bodleian Library, where he worked on cataloguing the books. As a nonjuror he refused to take the oaths of allegiance to King George I, and so in early 1716 he was deprived of his librarianship. He turned down many professional and academic positions, including the librarianship of the Bodleian and the Camden professorship of ancient history, rather than take the oaths. He did however remain in Oxford and spent his time editing the English chroniclers.

[n.d., c.1700.]
Engraving. Sheet 155 x 95mm (6 x 3¾"). Trimmed into image.
Sir Roger L'Estrange (1616-1704), a Royalist pamphleteer, best known for 'An Account of the Growth of Knavery', which ruthlessly attacked the parliamentary opposition, placing them as "dissenting fanatics". During the Civil War he was sentenced to death as a spy, but after four years' imprisonment in Newgate he escaped to Holland. Pardoned by Cromwell in 1653 he returned to England, and, after a few years of living quietly, he started printed pamphlets calling for the return of Charles II. After the Restoration he turned from poacher to gamekeeper: as 'Surveyor of the Imprimery' he was tasked with the prevention of the publication of dissenting writings, with the right to search the premises of printers and booksellers on the mere suspicion. In the 1660s he returned to journalism; he wrote questioning the truthfulness of Titus Oates during the Popish Plot of 1678; and in 1681 he started the 'Observator', a paper written in the form of a dialogue between a Whig and a Tory (biased to Toryism), which lasted six years. Knighted by James II in 1685, he served as MP for Winchester 1685-89); however he lost all his offices with the Glorious Revolution of 1688 and, having been arrested for suspected plots, turned to more academic writing, including acclaimed translations of Æsop's Fables and the works of Flavius Josephus.
