[Increase Mather] Crescentius Matherus. Aetatis Suae 49. 1688.
[Vanderspirit pinxit. R. White Sculp. Londini.]
[n.d. c.1700]
Engraving, sheet 140 x 90mm (5½ x 3½"). Trimmed within plate and laid on backing sheet.
Bust-length portrait of Increase Mather (1639- 1723), at aged 49, with long hair, wearing skull-cap and bands, within an oval frame and resting on a pedestal. According to 'Proceedings of the Massachusetts Historical Society' (1894), “Mather’s portrait was painted in 1688 during his visit to England, where, as an agent of the Massachusetts Colony, he had gone in the spring of that year. The artist was John vander Spriett (fl. 1690-1700), a Dutch mezzotint engraver of little note, who had studied under Verkolie at Amsterdam, where he had painted a few portraits." Allegedly within a few months after Mather’s portrait was painted in London, it was engraved by Robert White (1645-1703). Reverend Increase Mather was a New England Puritan clergyman who served as the sixth president of Harvard College from 1685 to 1701. During his tenure, which coincided with the notorious Salem witch trials, he was influential in the administration of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. He was son of the Rev. Richard Mather and Kathrine Holt Mather.

Everardus Maynwaringe Medicinæ Doctor Ætatis suæ 38 1668.
R. White sculp.
[n.d., c.1670.]
Engraving. Sheet 190 x 140mm (7½ x 5½"). Trimmed within plate, mounted on album paper.
Everard Maynwaring, (c.1627-c.1699), a doctor at the forefront of 'Chemical Medicine'. In 1665 Maynwaring was one of the proponents of the 'Society of Chymical Physicians', which was meant to challenge the authority of the College of Physicians. His techniques seem to have been successful: also in 1665 he was entrusted with the care of the pest-house of the society for employing the poor in Middlesex and he claimed that out of the eighty patients in his care, fifty-six recovered. Among his books were 'The ancient and modem Practice of Physic', 'A Treatise on the Preservation of Health and Long Life', 'The' Complete Physician', 'History of the Venereal Lues', 'The Pharmacopian Physician'a Repository', 'A Treatise of Consuptions' and another on the Scurvy. After the Restoration King James's 'Counterblast to Tobacco" was reprinted: to which is subjoined 'A learned Discourse written by Dr. Everard Maynwaring, proving that Tobacco is a procuring Cause of the Scurvy'; also his 'Serious Cautions against excessive Drinking, with several Examples of God's severe Judgments upon Notorious Drunkards, who have died suddenly', &c.'. It is likely that this a frontispiece portrait for one of his works.

Titus Oates. Anagramma Testis Ovat.
This is the true Original taken from the Life. done for Hen: Brome and Ric: Chiswell [therefore] All others are Counterfeit. [n.d. c.1679.]
Engraving, printed on both sides. 235 x 157mm. 9¼ x 6¼". Trimmed, crease, damaged.
Curiousity. Portrait of Titus Oates, half length in an oval frame on a pedestal, wearing wig, bands, and robe. From a broadside entitled 'A poem upon Mt Tytus Oates, the first discoverer of the late Popish Plot', published by Henry Brome and Richard Chiswell (1679). Titus Oates (1649-1705) was an English perjurer who fabricated the 'Popish Plot', a supposed Catholic conspiracy to kill King Charles II. He began his career as an Anglican priest, but converted to Catholicism in 1677. This secured his admission to Jesuit college at St Omer, and this gave him enough information to give his story about a Catholic plot to murder Charles some plausibility. Oates swore his testimony to Sir Edmund Berry Godfrey in September 1678, and it was Godfrey's murder a few weeks later (a death that has never been explained) that overnight turned the plot in the public mind from allegation to certainty. Oates managed to retain a central role in the unfolding affair by continually inventing new accusations. In 1684, in the flood of the Tory reaction, he was prosecuted for perjury, and in 1685 sentenced to the pillory and public flogging. The Glorious Revolution saved him; he was pardoned, given a pension and married a wealthy widow.

Miles Prance (fl.1678-88), perjurer involved in the 'Popish Plot', a supposed Catholic conspiracy to kill Charles II. Prance was arrested in relation to the death of Sir Edmund Berry Godfrey (to whom Titus Oates had sworn testimony), and after admitting involvement in Godfrey's murder (which has never been conclusively proved), gave evidence against Henry Berry, Robert Green, and Lawrence Hill, who were executed as a result. Prance, meanwhile shared with William Bedloe the reward for the discovery of the murderers. Under the influence of Bedloe and Oates, Prance subsequently informed on a number of Catholics and published pamphlets defending his evidence. Prance faded from view with the ebbing of the Popish Plot, but in 1686 he was found guilty of perjury, fined and stood in the pillory at Westminster (although he was spared the whipping he was sentenced to).

In 1701 he was appointed chief justice of the common pleas, and in 1712 he was created a peer as Baron Trevor of Bromham. On the accession of George I in 1714 he was deprived of the justice-ship, but from 1726 to 1730 he was Lord Privy Seal. Three of his sons succeeded in turn to his barony, and a fourth son, Richard Trevor (1707-1771), was bishop of St David's from 1744 to 1752, and then bishop of Durham.

R. White Sculp.
Printed for R. Chiswell at the Rose and Crowne in St Pauls Church Yard [n.d., 1683].
Engraving, J. Whatman 17? watermark; Sheet 235 x 150mm (9¼ x 6"). Trimmed to plate, laid on album paper with letterpress biography underneath.
Sir James Turner (1615-c.1686), Scottish professional soldier who fought for the Swedes in the invasion of Bavaria in 1632 and the Thirty Years' War, and both the Scottish Covenanting army and the Royalists during the Civil War. After the Restoration, promoted to general, he helped supress the Lowland Covenanters, provoking the Pentland Uprising in 1666, during which he was captured at Dumfries. Often threatened with execution, he survived, perhaps because his captors knew he had been criticised for leniency by his superiors. This portrait was published as the frontispiece portrait to his 'Pallas Armata', essays on classical and modern warfare.
