Le Brun Troisième Consul de la Republique Francaise.
[Paris: Auber, 1804.]
Mezzotint and etching. 430 x 285mm (17 x 11¼").
Oval mezzotint portrait of Charles-François Lebrun, duc de Plaisance (1739-1824), third consul of the French Republic. Published in the 'Collection complète des tableaux historiques de la révolution française'. Charles-François Lebrun, duc de Plaisance, prince of the Empire was a French statesman. He started his career during the Ancien Régime, making his first appearance as a lawyer in Paris in 1762. He filled the posts of censeur du Roi (1766) and then Inspector General of the Domains of the Crown (1768). Lebrun became a disciple of Montesquieu and an admirer of the British Constitution, travelling through Southern Netherlands, the Dutch Republic, and finally to the Kingdom of Great Britain. At the outbreak of the French Revolution in 1789, he foresaw its importance and in his volume La voix du Citoyen, published the same year, and predicted the course which events would take. After the voting of the 1791 Constitution, ineligible to the Legislative Assembly, he became instead president of the directory of Seine-et-Oise département. Lebrun was made Third Consul following Napoleon Bonaparte’s 18 Brumaire coup in 1799. In this capacity he took an active part in Napoleon's reorganization of the national finances and in the administration of France's départements. In 1804, he was appointed arch-treasurer of the French Empire. Although to a certain extent opposed to the autocracy of the Emperor, he was not in favour of his deposition, although he accepted the fait accompli of the Bourbon Restoration in April 1814. Louis XVIII made him a Peer of France, but during the subsequent Hundred Days he accepted from Napoleon the post of grand maître de l'Université. As a consequence, he was suspended from peerage when the Bourbons returned again in 1815, but was recalled in 1819.

Philippe Le Roy (1596 - 1679) represented the Spanish Netherlands in the negotiations of the Peace of Westphalia in 1648. One hand on sword, the other stroking a large hound. This engraving by Fred Millar (exh. 1915 - 1923) is after the painting hanging in the Wallace Collection London with its companion portrait of 1631 "Marie de Raet" as the 16 year old wife of this very much self made man. Anthony Van Dyck (1599-1641) was the leading Flemish painter of the first half of the 17th century, after Rubens. He produced history paintings, tapestry designs, etchings and landscape drawings, although it is chiefly as a portrait painter that he is remembered. He was appointed as court painter to Archduchess Isabella of the Spanish Netherlands and later Charles I of England, who had him buried in St Paul's Cathedral and erected a lavish monument in his honour on his death in 1641.

Sir John Leach (1760-1834), politician and lawyer. Beginning his career as a whig MP for Seaford in Sussex, Leach developed a close relationship with the prince regent, becoming his first legal officer (seen as a betrayal by whigs). Leach was instrumental in the divorce proceedings against queen Caroline following the scandal of her affair with Bergami, and was widely criticised in caricatures and poems (he was the 'leech' of Shelley's 'Oedipus Tyrannus') for his perceived deceit. Leach never achieved his great ambitions of becoming lord chancellor and obtaining a peerage.
