His final achievement was to obtain, in 1926, a Charter of Incorporation for Twickenham, and, in 1927, he was elected Charter Mayor.

During World War 1 he was a somewhat elderly Captain in the Royal Army Medical Corps. The York House Society is Twickenham's oldest amenity society.

Dartmouth was returned to Parliament for Plymouth in 1778, a seat he held until 1780. The latter year he was returned for both Horsham and Staffordshire 1784, but chose to represent the latter. He continued to represent this constituency until 1784. From 1783 to 1798 he served as Lord Warden of the Stannaries. He remained out of Parliament for the next 17 years, but in 1801 he was summoned to the House of Lords through a writ of acceleration in his father's junior title of Baron Dartmouth. He succeeded his father in the earldom later the same year. Dartmouth served under Henry Addington as President of the Board of Control between 1801 and 1802 and as Lord Steward between 1802 and 1804. From 1804 to 1810 he was Lord Chamberlain under successively Pitt the Younger, Lord Grenville, the Duke of Portland and Spencer Perceval. He was sworn of the Privy Council in 1801 and appointed a Knight of the Garter in 1805. He was also admitted a Fellow of the Royal Society on 3 May 1781. Engraved after the portrait by Thomas Phillips (1770-1845), whose over 700 portraits record the leading personalities of his time

Mezzotint, proof before all letters. 665 x 410mm (26¼ x 16"). Thread margins, extreme upper right corner of margin missing. Paper evenly age-toned, occasional foxing.
Georgiana Maria, youngest daughter of Lieutenant-colonel Cottin [1794-1859], wife of John Fleming Leicester, 1st Baron de Tabley, of Tabley house in Cheshire. Her beauty was captured by Sir Thomas Lawrence in the famous portrait of her in the character of Hope. This is a rare engraving after the painting by William Owen R.A. (1769-1825) that hangs at Tabley. The engraver is uncertain: it is possibly the suppressed plate by Charles Turner (1773-1857). William Owen worked as an apprentice to Charles Catton, R.A., for seven years, starting in 1786. He entered the Royal Academy as a student in 1791, receiving encouragement from, among others, Sir Joshua Reynolds. He was elected R.A. in 1806, became portrait painter to the Prince of Wales in 1810, and was appointed principal painter to the Prince Regent in 1813.

[Leicestershire, c.1874.]
Satirical song in six letterpress verses, broadside with woodcut title. Thin rag paper, sheet 315 x 165mm, 12½ x 6½". Folds, as normal.
An extremely scarce locally-printed broadside celebrating the defeat at the polls of a parliamentary candidate for Leicestershire. The author is a hunt supporter who accuses the candidate of threatening to kill foxes and put and end to fox hunting in the district should he not be returned. He cites at top a quotation from White's History of Leicestershire in support of his stance. The final verse calls for two Tory candidates to be elected, one being Lord John James Robert Manners, seventh Duke of Rutland (1818 - 1906). Manners was first returned for North Leicestershire in 1857, and he represented that constituency until 1885; after the Redistribution Act, he sat for the Melton Division of the county until he succeeded his brother in the dukedom in 1888. The duke himself was not deeply interested in sport, but he held for a time the hereditary mastership of the Belvoir hounds, the private pack of the dukes of Rutland which was instituted in 1720, and has since been in their ownership.

[Leicestershire, c.1874.]
Satirical song in six letterpress verses, broadside with woodcut title. Thin rag paper, sheet 315 x 165mm, 12½ x 6½". Folds, as normal.
An extremely scarce locally-printed broadside celebrating the defeat at the polls of a parliamentary candidate for Leicestershire. The author is a hunt supporter who accuses the candidate of threatening to kill foxes and put and end to fox hunting in the district should he not be returned. He cites at top a quotation from White's History of Leicestershire in support of his stance. The final verse calls for two Tory candidates to be elected, one being Lord John James Robert Manners, seventh Duke of Rutland (1818 - 1906). Manners was first returned for North Leicestershire in 1857, and he represented that constituency until 1885; after the Redistribution Act, he sat for the Melton Division of the county until he succeeded his brother in the dukedom in 1888. The duke himself was not deeply interested in sport, but he held for a time the hereditary mastership of the Belvoir hounds, the private pack of the dukes of Rutland which was instituted in 1720, and has since been in their ownership.

Leifchild, John 1780-1862, independent minister, John Linnel was an English painter who made a good living as a fashionable portraitist, but preferred to paint landscapes. In 1837, he married the daughter of Samuel Palmer, one of his influences. He gave up portraiture in the 1840's and moved to Redhill to devote his career to his landscapes. These paintings were highly desired and caused Linnel to amass a great deal of wealth. However, he was not favored among his colleagues and was denied membership to the Royal Academy.

[Little Fatima.]
[Painted by Frederick, Lord Leighton.] Gerald Robinson.
London Published December 15th 1898 by Arthur Lucas the Proprietor, 31 New Bond Street, W.
Mezzotint, proof signed by the engraver, ltd to 275. 310 x 490mm.
'Little Fatima' has an added interest because of its Orientalism. Leighton first showed an Oriental subject, a `Reminiscence of Algiers' at the Society of British Artists in 1858. Ten years later, in 1868, he made a journey to Egypt and in the autumn of 1873 he worked in Damascus where he made many studies and where he probably gained the inspiration for the present work.
