Macdonald, Général en Chef des Armées de Naples et des Grisons.
J. FB [monogram of Jean Duplesi-Berteaux).
[Paris: Auber, 1804.]
Mezzotint and etching. 430 x 285mm (17 x 11¼"). Some minor spotting.
Oval mezzotint portrait of Jacques MacDonald (1765-1840), surrounded by an etched border with engraved text and a battle scene probably in Italy, where he occupied Rome. Published in the 'Collection complète des tableaux historiques de la révolution française'. Jacques MacDonald was a Marshal of France and military leader during the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars. He was appointed aide-de-camp to General Charles François Dumouriez. He distinguished himself at the Battle of Jemappes, and was promoted colonel in 1793. In 1797, having been made general of division, he served first in the army of the Rhine and later in that of Italy. When he reached Italy, the treaty of Campo Formio had been signed, and Bonaparte had returned to France; but, under the direction of Berthier, MacDonald occupied Rome, of which he was made governor, and then in conjunction with Championnet he defeated General Mack, and took the Kingdom of Naples, which became known as the Parthenopaean Republic. In 1800, he received command of the army in the Helvetic Republic, maintaining communications between the armies of Germany and of Italy. He carried out his orders diligently, and in the winter of 1800-1801, he was ordered to march over the Splügen Pass at the head of the Army of the Grisons. He remained without employment until 1809, but then Napoleon made him military adviser to Prince Eugène de Beauharnais, viceroy of the Kingdom of Italy and a corps commander. He led the army from Italy to join with Napoleon, and at Wagram, led the attack which broke the Austrian centre and won the victory. In 1810, MacDonald served in Spain and in 1812, he commanded the left wing of the Grande Armée for the invasion of Russia. In 1813, after participating in the battles of Lützen and Bautzen, he was ordered to invade Silesia. After the Battle of Leipzig, he was ordered to cover the evacuation of Leipzig with Prince Poniatowski. During the defensive campaign of 1814, MacDonald again distinguished himself. He was one of the marshals sent by Napoleon to take the notice of his abdication to Paris. When all were deserting Napoleon, MacDonald remained faithful. He was directed by Napoleon to give his adherence to the new régime, and was presented with the sabre of Murad Bey for his fidelity. At the Restoration, he was made a peer of France and knight grand cross of the royal order of St. Louis; he remained faithful to the new order during the Hundred Days. In 1815, he became chancellor of the Legion of Honour, a post he held till 1831. In 1816, as major-general of the royal bodyguard, he took part in the debates of the Chamber of Peers, created under the Charter of 1814, voting consistently as a moderate Liberal.

Wearing a short wig, tied at the nape, a plain coat over a dark waistcoat which is buttoned at the waist and below a white cravat.

He was tried and sentenced to death, but he obtained a conditional pardon although his peerage was forfeited, allegedly because his wife was heavily pregnant.

Young Vanity invt. Old Envy sculp.
Pub by MDarly Nov. 5. 1773. 39. Strand . where any sketch that is fair game will have due Honor shewn.
Etching, 245 x 175mm. 9¾ x 7".
Caricature of Charles Macklin (1699? - 1797) as William Shakespeare's Macbeth, his dagger held up in his left hand, his head in profile to right. He wears a feathered hat, long hair, and Scottish dress: a large plaid, kilt, bare knees, and tartan stockings, a thistle badge hangs from his neck on a ribbon, a claymore (so-called) hangs at his waist. Macklin appeared on 3rd October 1773 as Macbeth, the part being played for the first time in Scottish dress, before a very hostile audience; they expected to be "spectators of his downfall", thinking his age would not allow him to go through the part to the end. "Lady Macbeth's modern robes by no means accorded with the habits of the other personages, and Mr. Macklin's flowing curls, like the locks of an Adonis, were unpardonably out of character." 'Macaroni and Theatrical Magazine', ii. 8, Oct. 1773. Before this time Macbeth was dressed as a modern military officer. The public treated him with great injustice, and accustomed to see him in comedy, and regarding his Shylock (in Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice) as above criticism, refused to accept him in a heroic part. The mob would not be satisfied until Macklin was dismissed. Numbered '19' upper right. From an album of caricatures published by Mary Darly dated January 1776. It seems that her husband Matthew made the plates.

Printed for T. Harrison. Publish'd according to Act of Parliament Sep.r 29. 1750.
Scarce hand-coloured engraving with etching. Sheet 340 x 250mm (13½ x 9¾"). Trimmed within plate, edge black-ruled, a few stains, mounted in album paper at edges. Horizontal crease left.
Full-length portrait of James MacLaine (1724-1750), grocer-turned-highwayman, with the mask he used as a disguise on the ground to the side. With his partner William Plunkett (a bankrupt apothecary), he committed 20 robberys in six months between Hounslow Heath and Hyde Park. His most famous victim was Horace Walpole, who was grazed by an accidentally-fired bullet. Captured, Maclaine was sent to trial at the Old Bailey, where his dashing good looks created a sensation: he reputedly received nearly 3,000 guests at Newgate before he was hung. His body was handed over to surgeons for dissection: his skeleton can be seen on display in the operating theatre in the last plate of Hogarth's 'Four Stages of Cruelty'. Plunkett is said to have escaped to Pennsylvania where he fought for independence.

Macpherson (1806-60), was a political agent in India who participated in the Trigonometrical Survey of India. In 1854 he was posted to Gwalior, the capital of Sindhia, the most powerful native ruler in Central India. By recognising that Sindhia's minister, Dinkar Rao, was a statesman of the first order and should be supported, the state's revenue went from deficit to surplus. When the India Mutiny broke out in 1857, Dinkar, influenced by Macpherson, kept the Gwalior contingent and Sindhia's own army from joining the rebellion.

[Madagascar] Entrance to the Palace, Antananarivo.
S.P. Oliver del 1862.
Lith. Amelot & Co Chaussée
Lithograph and tintstone, scarce, printed area 480 x 325mm (19 x 12¾"). Creasing. Bit messy in title area.
The Rova of Antananarivo, the seventeenth century palace in Antananarivo, the capital city of Madagascar, damaged by a fire in 1995 and currently undergoing reconstruction. Lithograph by Samuel Pasfield Oliver (1838 - 1907), geographer and antiquary. Oliver accompanied Major-General Johnstone on a mission to Madagascar in 1862 to congratulate King Radama II on his accession. He spent some months exploring the island, and witnessed the king's coronation at Antananarivo that year. He returned to the island the following year after receiving news of King Radama's assassination. The history and ethnology of the island interested Oliver, and he devoted himself subsequently to a close study of them. In 1866 he published ‘Madagascar and the Malagasy,’ a diary of his first visit to the island, which he illustrated with some spirited sketches. This was followed by an ethnological study in French, ‘Les Hovas et les autres tribus caractéristiques de Madagascar’ (Guernsey, 1869). In ‘The True Story of the French Dispute in Madagascar’ (1885) Oliver passed adverse criticisms on the treatment of the Malagasy by the French colonial officials. Finally his two volumes on ‘Madagascar’ (1886), based on authentic native and European sources, give a detailed and comprehensive account of the island, its history, and its inhabitants.

Drawn by H. Salt. Engraved by J. Clark.
Pub by H. Colburn, London, 1829.
Hand coloured aquatint. Sheet: 130 x 220mm (5 x 8½").
A portrait of doctor and traveller Richard Robert Madden (1798-1806) dressed in Syrian costume. He is shown taking the pulse of a woman who demurely extends her arm through a nearly-closed door. This portrait is the frontispiece to Madden's first volume of his 'Travels in Turkey, Egypt, Nubia and Palestine in 1824, 1825, 1826, 1827 and 1833' published in 1833. As a physician, Madden was permitted into areas of the cities in which he travelled which were usually out of bounds for a westerner. This was a benefit he seems to have made much use of for he writes 'I have attended for many months past, on the hareems of all classes; and even in the humblest I have found no dearth of either luxury or loveliness...my skill and patience was exercised on all the ladies, though in reality, only one required assistance.'
