Very fine mezzotint, 350 x 235mm (13¾ x 9¼''), with large margins. Partial 19th century watermark.
A portrait of Katherine FitzGerald (c. 1504-1604) as an old woman. In 1529 she became the second wife of Thomas FitzGerald (1454-1534), 11th Earl of Desmond, producing a daughter (also Katherine). The earl's will granted her a life tenancy in Inchiquin Castle: when the 14th earl was attaindered in 1582 his land was granted to Walter Raleigh, who let her keep her tenancy, but suprised him by lasting longer than he expected. Raleigh helped popularise the nickname of 'the old Countess of Desmond' as a nickname for her, thus helping to creat her legend. Henry Pelham (c.1748 - 1806) was an American painter, engraver, and cartographer, son of Peter Pelham (c.1697-1751) and half-brother of John Singleton Copley (1738-1815).

Mrs. Fitzherbert.
Noble sculp.
Published by Alexr. Hogg at the King's Arms No.16 Paternoster Row, Sep. 1. 1786.
Engraving, 175 x 110mm. 7 x 4¼". A fine impression with margins.
Maria Anne Fitzherbert (née Smythe) (1756 - 1837), famous beauty, and mistress of George IV. A woman of tact and discretion, Mrs Fitzherbert was one of the great beauties of her day. Although a Catholic and a widow she was persuaded to marry the Prince of Wales in a secret ceremony in 1785. The marriage was illegal. The Prince did not have the King's approval and the heir could not marry a Catholic without forfeiting the right to the throne. Mrs Fitzherbert was condemned to a life of deception as the Prince's 'mistress'. She patiently maintained this position for almost a decade after George's official marriage to Caroline of Brunswick in 1795. For the 'New Lady's Magazine' 1786.
