Sir Richard Arkwright, late of Cromford Derbyshire, The Eminent Inventor of the Machinery used in Spinning Cotton, by means of Rollers [...]
Painted by J. Wright Engraved by H. Meyer [c.1800]
Stipple engraving on india, platemark 225 x 150mm (9 x 6") very large margins.
Sir Richard Arkwright (1732-92), inventor of cotton-spinning machinery and cotton manufacturer. The archetypal self-made man, Arkwright went from a barber's apprentice in Bolton to a key figure in the proto-industrial north and midlands whose worth at his death was some £500,000. An ambitious inventor, Arkwright improved cotton manufacturing machinery, set up up the Cromford Cotton Mills in the then unexploited district of Cromford near Matlock (for a view of pre-Arkwright Cromford see ref.29386), and later ventured into hosiery knitting as well. Engraving after the portrait of c.1789-90 by Joseph Wright of Derby (private collection). Arkwright occupies an important place in Wright's work, not only in the portraits he painted of Arkwright and his family, but also because of the series of views he painted of the area where Arkwright established his empire. Not shown in this engraving is the model of the spinning frame Arkwright claimed to have invented, which in Wright's painting is on a table beside the sitter's left hand. Benedict Nicolson suggests that because aspersions had been cast on his qualifications as an inventor, Arkwright preferred to have this aspect of his work emphasised, rather than being painted with, say, a plan of his industrial empire- an achievement which was in no doubt.

View of Arlington House in Green Park, Westminster. Originally called Goring House, Arlington House was the residence of Henry Bennet, Earl of Arlington, a minister under Charles II.

View of the Army and Navy Club on the corner of Pall Mall and St James's Square, formerly known as George Street. Men on horseback, horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians in foreground. Engraved for the Stationers' Almanack. Founded in August 1837, the year Queen Victoria acceded to the Throne, the Club was formed to meet the needs of the many army officers wanting to join a Service Club, most of which were already full. The great Duke of Wellington said he would become neither a patron nor a Member unless membership was also offered to officers of the Royal Navy and Royal Marines. Hence, the "Army Club" became the Army and Navy Club. The Stationers' Company had published the Stationers' Almanack since 1747, a single-sheet which consisted of calendar text set out beneath an engraved headpiece that recorded significant events of the preceeding year.

Army of Reserve Act. St. Clement Danes, 20th July, 1803. Received of Mr [blank] the Sum of [blind stamp 'two pence for Receipts'] as a subscription, for which we (by the Consent of a Public Meeting of the Inhabitants, held this day) engage to provide him a Substitute under the Act passed on the 6th of July Instant, intitled, ''An Act to enable his Majesty more effectually to raise and assemble in England an additional Military Force for the better Defence and Security of the United Kingdom, and for more vigorous Prosecution of the War,'' if he shall be drawn by Ballot under the said Act, for the Parish of St. Clement Danes, at any time between the Date of this Receipt, and the 20th Day of July, 1804 [...]
Printed by J. Long, 17 Clements Lane [1803].
Letterpress receipt with ink mss signatures. Sheet 160 x 190mm (6¼ x 7½"). Some creasing, two pinholes.
The Army of Reserve Act of July 1803 was intended to counter the renewed threat from Napoleonic France after the Peace of Amiens. It introduced a conscription ballot for militia to serve within the United Kingdom, but also the ability to pay a subscription to avoid being called up, which would be used to pay for another man to take the place of the subscriber. Strangely this example of the subscription receipt has the stamp and signatures of two churchwardens but no name for the draft dodger.
