For his work and discoveries in Ecuador and Peru he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society. In 1757 he founded the Royal Astronomical Observatory of Madrid.

[Charles James Fox] The Jubilee. "Let me die the death of the Righteous- -and let my latter be like this."
[James Gillray]
Pub.d August 2.d 1782, by E. D'Archery S.t James's Street.
Etching, sheet 250 x 335mm (9¾ x 13¼"). Trimmed within plate.
Depicting the political downfall of Charles James Fox (1749-1806), symbolized by a fox hanging from a gibbet. The Conway family, portrayed mostly as rats, dance triumphantly around the gallows. General Conway (1719-95), blindfolded and led by the duplicitous Shelburne (1737-1805), shown with one smiling face and another demonic, represents misguided leadership. Shelburne encourages the revelry while secretly mocking the crowd's gullibility. Conway ironically claims political innocence, oblivious to the obvious. Lord Hertford (1718-94), recently ousted from office, hopes for reinstatement, while Lady Hertford (1726-82) and their children, also depicted as rats, celebrate Fox’s demise with cruel glee. The gallows bears the inscription “Sic transit gloria Mundi” (Thus passes the glory of the world), underscoring the fleeting nature of political power, and the scene mocks the opportunism, hypocrisy, and blind ambition of Fox’s political opponents. Sequel to BM Satires 5966, ‘Dame rat, and her poor little ones.’

Engraving. 185 x 150mm. Trimmed to platemark; glued to backing sheet.
Paris, a peasant holding a crook, with the three hag-like goddesses. He hands his apple to Venus, who has Cupid hiding behind her skirts; Minerva rushes toward them brandishing a bottle; and Juno walks away, wearing a grenadier's uniform, scowling. Paris's dog chases a peacock and owl. Etched by Henry Bunbury whilst still a schoolboy. Bunbury was an amateur printmaker who subsequently enjoyed a successful career as a designer for printsellers. 'Prints by Bunbury an his imitators were conspicuously 'polite' and appealed, like novels, 'To the Fashionable World and Polite circles'. Of good family, amply endowed with social skills, a beautiful wife and connections in high society, Bunbury's appeal was not solely aesthetic' and his admirers 'recognized his comic talent, his informed enthusiasm for literature, and his ability to draw a momentary pang with something of the sensitivity with which Sterne could write it' (Clayton).
