Louisa, Queen of Denmark and Norway (1724-51) as a girl. The second daughter of George II, Louisa married Prince Frederick of Denmark and Norway, with whom she had five children, in 1743.

Louisa died following an operation on a hernia developed during childbirth in 1751. Engraving after a portrait by James Worsdale (c.1692-1767), portraitist and rake, whose success as an artist has been attributed mostly to his amusing conversation, conviviality, and clever singing and acting. He was involved in forming the Hell Fire Clubs in Dublin and Limerick, and had close associations with the stage in London and Dublin.

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'.

Aliamet sculp [after William Hogarth].
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.
