Copper Engraving, published state, 360 x 220mm. 14¼ x 8¾". Horizontal crease through centre.
George, Prince of Denmark (1653 - 1708); Consort of Queen Anne. Title to oval masonry frame, a crown, scroll and allegorical figure carved in relief below. The second son of Frederick III, King of Denmark, George married Princess Anne in 1683. There was not much affection for George in England: he was widely held to be lazy, incompetent, hypocritical, and to speak poor English. Anne became Queen of England in 1702, but George was not made King. He was given charge of the Admiralty but had little skill. This was made worse by the chronic asthma which eventually killed him. Engraved in Amsterdam by Jacobus Houbraken (1698 - 1780) after Sir Godfrey Kneller (1646 - 1723). This plate included in Thomas Birch's 'The Heads of Illustrious Persons of Great Britain', published in folio in London by Knapton between 1743 and 1752.

Fine mezzotint, sheet 275 x 190mm (10¾ x 7½"). Trimmed to platemark.
George, prince of Denmark and duke of Cumberland (1653-1708), consort of Queen Anne. The second son of Frederick III, King of Denmark, George married Princess Anne in 1683 with a view to developing an Anglo-Danish alliance and thereby containing Dutch maritime power. He was therefore unpopular with the (Dutch-born) king after 1688, William III, and neither he nor Anne had much influence until Anne became Queen of England in 1702, but George was not made King. He was given the largely honorary appointment of Lord High Admiral in 1702 but played little active role. His DNB entry conclude: 'Prince George is usually dismissed as a boneheaded nonentity' but that 'his influence behind the scenes has been underestimated'. Dutch mezzotint after the portrait by Kneller.

Edmond Halley, Astronimer, Scientist & Naturalist 1656 - 1742) famed for the discovery of the comet which bears his name. While at Oxford University, Halley was introduced to John Flamsteed, the astronomer royal. Influenced by Flamsteed's project to compile a catalogue of northern stars, Halley proposed to do the same for the Southern Hemisphere. To this end in 1676 he travelled to the South Atlantic island of St Helena. By the time he returned home in January 1678 he had recorded the celestial longitudes and latitudes of 341 stars and observed a transit of Mercury across the Sun's disk. Halley's star catalogue of 1678 was the first to contain telescopically determined locations of southern stars and in the same year he was elected a fellow of the Royal Society. In 1704, Halley was appointed Savilian professor of geometry at Oxford University, but continued his work in astronomy. Halley succeeded Flamsteed as astronomer royal at Greenwich.

Roger L'Estrange Esq. Ætatis Suæ 68 1684.
G. Kneller pinxit. R. White sculpsit.
Sold by Walter Davis in Amen Corner.
Rare engraving. Sheet 380 x 270mm (15 x 10½"). Trimmed within plate. Crease.
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.

Anthony Leigh or the Spanish Fryar.
G. Kneller pinx: 1689 [in image on right] J. Smith fecit.
[1811]
Mezzotint, sheet 350 x 250mm (13¾ x 9¾"). Trimmed to plate; faint crease upper left.
Portrait of comedian Anthony Leigh (d. 1692), in the role of the 'Spanish Friar' in Dryden's eponymous tragi-comedy. Leigh was popular with Charles II and the public, and played the friar in 1681-2, although the play was subsequently forbidden by James II. Charles, Earl of Dorset, commissioned Kneller to paint Leigh's portrait to commemorate the performance. This plate was first published before 1698 by Smith and John Savage. This impression was published in Josiah Boydell's 'Famous Heads' of 1811 by which time several changes had been made to the plate.
