Lithograph, printed area 270 x 350mm (10 x 13¾"). Trimmed close to printed border.
A satire on John Lambton, 1st Earl of Durham (1792 - 1840) and his brief spell as governor-in-chief of British North America. He stands against a tree, a handkerchief held to his eye, injured by three rocks at his feet inscribed 'Act / of / Indemnity', thrown by Brougham, who lurks behind a tree on the far right. Durham's allies, including Sir William Molesworth and Lord Howick, attempt to console him, but Durham is upset at their failure to prevent the assault. Behind stands the Duke of Wellington, holding a cricket bat, saying 'It was a very hard blow, but he brought it on himself'. Lambton was appointed governor in 1837 to tackle unrest in Quebec but soon ran into problems, overstepping his powers by deporting imprisoned rebel leaders to Bermuda. When the matter was brought before the House of Lords by Brougham, Lambton resigned from his position after barely five months.

After meeting George III's librarian Richard Dalton in Italy in 1763, Dalton invited Bartolozzi to London with a promise of an appointment as engraver to the king. In England he became the most celebrated exponent of the 'stipple' technique whereby he produced prints using dots rather than lines. This is the medium employed here, one of many prints he made from designs by his fellow Italian, G.B. Cipriani (whose name is incorrectly given here as 'J.G. Cipriani').

Richard Lemon Lander (1804 - 1834), traveller in Africa. After travels in the West Indies and work as a servant in London, Lander travelled to west Africa with the Scottish explorer Hugh Clapperton in 1825. They crossed the Niger, and after Clapperton's death in Sokoto, Lander returned to England. Dissatisfied with the menial job he had obtained at the customs' house in London, Lander undertook a second expedition to Africa with his brother John, to trace the source and course of the Niger. Sailing to Cape Coast (now in Ghana), they travelled to Bussa and sailed upstream as far as Yelwa. Heading downstream in canoes they were robbed and nearly killed by locals at Kerre, and at Igbo Ora they were imprisoned by the king and only released after payment of a large ranson. Eventually the Landers found that the river flowed into the Gulf of Guinea on the Atlandtic coast, rather than Lake Chad as many had thought. They arrived back in England in 1831 and their journal of the expedition were published the following year. In 1832 Lander led an unsuccessful expedition hoping to use the Niger as a trade route to open trade with the countries of central Africa. He was shot by middlemen who wanted European traders to remain on the coast and died on the island of Fernando Po (Bioko). Fine engraving after the portrait by Brockedon now in the National Portrait Gallery, London. The print was dedicated to subscribers to the memorial erected on Lemon Street in Lander's hometown of Truro, Cornwall in 1835, which collapsed the following year although its replacement is still standing.

Portrait of Richard Lemon Lander (1804 - 1834), wearing Arab dress. who explored the course of the Niger river, West Africa. The son of a Truro innkeeper, Lander's explorations began as an assistant to the Scottish explorer Hugh Clapperton, on an expedition to Western Africa in 1825. After Clapperton's death near Sokoto, Lander proceeded southeast to Kano and then returned to the coast through the country of the Yoruba people. He returned to Western Africa in 1830, accompanied by his brother John. They landed at Badagri and followed the lower Niger River from Bussa to the sea. After exploring about 160 kilometres of the Niger River upstream, they returned to explore the Benue River and Niger Delta before travelling back to England. On a trading expedition up the Niger in 1832, Lander was shot when tribesmen attacked his canoe: he returned to the coast but died soon after, and was buried on Fernando Po.
