John Howard (1726?-1790), was a prison reformer and social campaigner, here holding a 'plan for a Lazaretto', a quarantine station for maritime travellers. Howard experienced imprisonment himself in France in 1756. It was not until 1773 when he became High Sheriff of Bedfordshire that he initiated an important campaign to transform prison conditions. He spent a lot of his time visiting prisons in Britain and Europe, leading him to write his influential book "The State of Prisons", first published in 1777.

A visit of John Howard (1726-90) to a prison, illustrating the conditions he attempted to alleviate, with a poor family, including a breast-feeding mother and a dying old man. Howard was appointed High Sheriff of Bedfordshire in 1773 and, taking his role seriously instead of as a sinecure, inspected the county prison himself. He was so shocked that he spent the rest of his life campaigning for prison reform. His 'The State of the Prisons' was published in 1777. He travelled all over Europe and died in Ukraine, where he was buried. A statue was erected in St Paul's Cathedral, London, the first for a civilian.

Etching, sheet 260 x 195mm (10¼ x 7¾"). Trimmed to platemark and laid on album paper. Faint foxing along the lower margin. Damage to bottom right corner of image affecting the title area.
Thomas Howard, fourteenth earl of Arundel, fourth earl of Surrey, and first earl of Norfolk (1585-1646), art collector and politician. This print was first made for the 'Iconographiae', a collection of prints after van Dyck portraits, which was published in the Netherlands from 1630 onwards. Arundel almost certainly played a pivotal role in bringing van Dyck to England. British Museum cataloguing for the print claims that it is based on van Dyck's 'Madagascar portrait' of Arundel and his wife (Arundel Castle, West Sussex) which showed the earl sat next to a globe, pointing to Madagascar. The Arundels had devised a scheme to colonize the island and obtained a royal licence to move there, although the plan came to nothing, perhaps because of the earl of Arundel's deteriorating health. Despite obvious differences between the Madagascar portrait and this print, there is a strong resemblance. Etched by Wenceslaus Hollar (1607-77), Bohemian printmaker who spent most of his career working in England after meeting the earl of Arundel in Cologne in 1636. Hollar subsequently followed him to England, took up lodgings in Arundel House, married one of Lady Arundel's servants, and made prints of numerous works in the Arundel collection. This plate was etched in 1646 in Antwerp, where Hollar moved for several years, following the Arundels there. He also etched a portrait of Lady Arundel adapted from the Madagascar portrait, and a straightforward copy of the double portrait. Pennington 1353 ii/iii; see cataloguing for BM 1888,0612.78.

Rare engraving, sheet 315 x 210mm. 12½ x 8¼". Trimmed to image.
Portrait in oval frame of Laurence Howell (c.1664 - 1720), nonjuring Church of England clergyman. According to DNB "There is an engraving which professes to be a portrait of him, but Noble says the plate was altered from a portrait of Robert Newton, D.D." The nonjuring schism was a split in the Church of England in the aftermath of the Glorious Revolution of 1688, over whether William of Orange and his wife Mary could legally be recognised as King and Queen of England. Many of the Anglican clergy felt legally bound by their previous oaths of allegiance to James II and, though they could accept William as Regent, they could not accept him as king. It was not necessarily a split on matters of religious doctrine, but more of a political issue and a matter of conscience, though most of the nonjurors were high church Anglicans. The nonjurors thus supported Jacobitism, although they generally did not actively support the Jacobite rebellions in 1715 or 1745. Howell wrote a pamphlet for private circulation entitled ‘The Case of Schism in the Church of England truly stated.’ In this seditious work George I was denounced as a usurper, and all that had been done in the church, subsequently to Archbishop Sancroft's deprivation, was condemned as illegal and uncanonical. Howell was arrested at his house in Bull Head Court, Jewin Street, and about a thousand copies of the pamphlet were seized there. Howell was tried at the Old Bailey on 28 Feb. 1716-17 before the lord mayor and Justices Powys and Dormer. The jury found him guilty, and two days afterwards he was sentenced to pay a fine of 500l., to be imprisoned for three years without bail, to find four sureties of 500l. each, and himself to be bound in 1,000l. for his good behaviour during life, and to be twice whipped. On his hotly protesting against the last indignity on the ground that he was a clergyman, the court answered that he was a disgrace to his cloth, and that his ordination by the so-called bishop of Thetford was illegal. By the court's direction the common executioner there and then roughly pulled his gown off his back. A few days later, on his humble petition to the king, the corporal punishment was remitted. He died in Newgate on 19 July 1720. After James Fellowes (Fellows) (fl.1710 - 1751). NPG: D36355. Sharp: 426. Ex Collection Norman Blackburn.
