Engraved by Jn.o Young Engraver to H.R.H. the Prince of Wales from a Bust. Modelled after Life by J. Nollekins R.A. From a Drawing by G.A. Kemon.
London, Published Jan.y 1.st 1808, by the Engraver, No.65, Upper Charlotte Street Fitzroy Square.
Mezzotint. Plate 507 x 355mm. 20 x 14".
Charles James Fox (1749-1806), styled The Honourable from 1762, as a prominent British Whig statesman whose parliamentary career spanned thirty-eight years. Fox was the first foreign secretary of the United Kingdom and vocal supporter of American independence. Also known for his rivalry with William Pitt the Younger and a staunch opponent of George III he was reckless in politics as at the gaming tables. Fox held office briefly as a Tory under Lord North then led the opposition. Fox strongly criticised Lord North and the conduct of the American war, viewing the cause of the American patriots as a struggle for liberty against oppressive external power. He supported the revolutionaries of the United States, often dressing in the colours of George Washington's army. He championed America’s cause, denouncing taxation of Americans without their consent. Reform was a passion but as a supporter of the revolutionary cause in France, his credibility was diminished from 1792 by the excesses of the French revolutionaries.

The words were spoken at Eton, by Lord Carlisle, who, with other friends, anticipated the future powers and efforts of Charles James Fox (1749-1806), styled The Honourable from 1762, as a prominent British Whig statesman whose parliamentary career spanned thirty-eight years. Fox was the first foreign secretary of the United Kingdom and vocal supporter of American independence. Also known for his rivalry with William Pitt the Younger and a staunch opponent of George III he was reckless in politics as at the gaming tables. Fox held office briefly as a Tory under Lord North then led the opposition. Fox strongly criticised Lord North and the conduct of the American war, viewing the cause of the American patriots as a struggle for liberty against oppressive external power. He supported the revolutionaries of the United States, often dressing in the colours of George Washington's army. He championed America’s cause, denouncing taxation of Americans without their consent. Reform was a passion but as a supporter of the revolutionary cause in France, his credibility was diminished from 1792 by the excesses of the French revolutionaries.

Painted by T. Phillips R.A. Engraved by J. Fittler A.R.A.
London Publish'd as the Act directs by J. Fittler No 62. Upper Charlotte Street Fitzroy Square March. 1812.
Engraving. Platemark: 530 x 390mm (20¾ x 15"). Light foxing. Trimmed to plate at sides.
Portrait of William Wyndham Grenville, 1st Baron Grenville (1759 - 1834). He wears a long lace cravat and ruffles, and a heavy black brocaded silk Chancellor's robe with gold lace trimming on collar, facings and sleeves. His right hand clasps an upright brass bound volume standing on a table to left, on which are also a bundle of papers tied up with tape. Curtain behind to right, and to left, a view of Christ Church seen through a window. Grenville, William Pitt's first cousin, served as Speaker of the House of Commons (1789) and Foreign Secretary (1791-1801). The protégé and loyal follower of his cousin, Grenville was angered by Pitt's failure to oppose Addington and broke with him to join Fox and Grey in opposition. It was as head of the 'Ministry of All the Talents' coalition government, following Pitt's death, that Grenville was Prime Minister from 1806 to 1807. A reluctant leader, he resigned over George III's refusal to agree to Catholic emancipation. His administration nevertheless saw the abolition of British participation in the slave trade.
