[Cavalry officer and horse.]
[Anon., c.1818]
Pen lithograph, Slade 1818 watermark; sheet 195 x 245mm (7¾ x 9½"). Trimmed.
Early pen lithograph. The new medium allowed artists to draw directly onto a prepared stone, allowing them to make prints which arguably resembled drawings more than any earlier printmaking technique. Unlike many printmaking techniques, lithography required no special training as artists could work directly onto the plate and leave specialist printers to actually make the prints. For this reason many artists who were not trained printmakers (such as Géricault and Delacroix) often worked in lithography.

Portrait of John Cecil, 5th Earl of Exeter (c. 1648–1700), shown three-quarter length, seated and leaning on a block, wearing a wig, cravat, robe, and scarf; at left is a panel carved with putti, while at right a statue of Minerva and distant trees form the background. Cecil was known as Lord Burghley until 1678, was an English peer and Member of Parliament. He was also known as the Travelling Earl, a notable Grand Tourist and filled his family home, Burghley House, with treasures purchased on his travels in 1679, 1681 and 1699. Supposedly a lay nonjuror; following the Glorious Revolution of 1688, refused to take oaths of allegiance to the new monarchs, William III and Mary II, believing the deposed James II was still the rightful king. Dutch propaganda lists Chesterfield, Clarendon and Exeter as being in arms for the Prince of Orange in 1688, which is untrue.
