Simon Fraser, 11th Baron Lovat (1667? - 1747) was a Jacobite executed at the age of eighty for high treason in the 1745 Rising, after a lifetime of devious intrigue between Jacobites and Hanoverians. A huge crowd attended his beheading, the last on Tower Hill, on 9 April 1747. Here his trial before the House of Lords is represented in the form of a plan showing the positions occupied by those present, while the scene of his execution includes a key identifying 'Lord Lovat's head on ye block', 'cloth to receive the Head', 'The Executioner with ye Axe', and 'The Coffin'.
For Hogarth's portrait of Lovat see ref. 24346; for another representation of the trial see ref. 17020.

Etching and engraving sheet 5½ x 4" (140 x 100mm). Cut to plate mark.
Half length portrait of an elderly Simon Fraser, 11th Lord Lovat (c.1667-1747), Scottish Jacobite, chief of Clan Fraser. He wears a wig, coat and neckband; sits in ornate frame decorated with acanthus leaves with a cartouche below portrait; at the top of the frame sits a mask and an axe. In the 1715 rebellion, he supported the House of Hanover, but in 1745 he joined the Stuart claim on the crown of Scotland. When the Highlanders were defeated at Culloden Lovat was convicted of treason, and became the last man in Britain to be beheaded on Tower Hill. William Hogarth (1697 - 1764) drew this very popular portrait, of which many different prints were made after including this one , of Lovat at an inn in St. Albans on his way to trail and eventual execution.

[by Crispijn de Passe.]
[n.d., 1661.]
Rare broadsheet with engraving, 130 x 200mm (5 x 8"), set in letterpress, sheet 500 x 285mm (19¾ x 11¼"). Sheet with loss at bottom, not affecting text.
A pair of former lovers in a court case presided over by the Titaness Thenis, with Venus acting for the complainant. Underneath is an extensive satirical verse. A satire on the scandalous events following the end of the love affair between Gabriel Lalande, a French merchant, and Elizabeth Lestevenon, a young woman from a rich Dutch mercantile family. After an intimate relationship of several months, Elizabeth announced she was going to marry someone else. In indignation Lalande started spreading rumours about their affair, including their sexual activity. Lestevenson's family appealed to the Amsterdam Magistrates, who jailed Lalande for seventy days, but this did not stop the gossip. Such was the scandal that at the end of 1661 the printer Johannes van den Bergh collected many of the broadsheets and published a collection, 'The Sweet Courtship of Mr Gabriel de Lalande, or the fallen rose of Miss Elizabeth Lestevenon'.
