Lord Mum Sucking his Thumb.
I.C. [Isaac Cruikshank]
London Pub Nov 10 1796 by S W Fores 50 Piccadilly.
Coloured etching. 350 x 210mm (13¾ x 8¼"). Narrow margins.
Satirical portrait of James Harris (1746-1820), 1st Earl of Malmesbury, sitting with both thumbs in his mouth. A career diplomat, he served in Madrid, Berlin, St Petersburg and the Hague and was sent to Brunswick to solicit the hand of Princess Caroline for the Prince of Wales. This satire relates to one of his less successful missions: in 1796 he was sent to negotiate peace with the French Directory. A conversation was quoted in the London Chronicle in which Malmesbury told Delacroix, French Minister of Foreign Affairs, that he would have to contact London to ask if he was authorized to conclude a treaty for the allies of Great Britain.

Taniers, better known as Malplaquet, was the bloodiest battle of the eighteenth century, fought during the war of the Spanish Succession (1701-14). The Allies, under Marlborough and Prince Eugene of Savoy, beat the French, but, having 21,000 dead to the French army's 11,000, it was a pyrrhic victory. The losses prompted the English Tory party to begin agitating for a withdrawal from the war.

A view of the capture of Valetta by the French, 1798. Napoleon Bonaparte was en route to Egypt when he stopped at Valletta. When his request for supplies was refused by the Knights of Malta he made ready to attack the fortress. The Grand Master, Ferdinand von Hompesch zu Bolheim, capitulated immediately, knowing he could not depend on the allegiance of the French Knights. Six days after he arrived Napoleon sailed on to Egypt, leaving Malta in French control until 1800. A popular revolt had driven the French into the safety of Valleta, which a British blockade, led by Nelson, forced the garrison to surrender.

Provenance: Bracebridge Archive. Selina Bracebridge, maiden-name Mills, was a pupil of Samuel Prout. Her husband was the Bracebridge celebrated in Washington Irving’s Bracebridge Hall. From the mid-1830s, they settled for some years in Athens. He owned large properties in Karea and Euboca, the latter of which he sold to the Noel family; and they both lived in a large house on Adrianou Street. 1850, saw the publication of Mr. Bracebridge’s 'Letter on the Affairs of Greece'. Bracebridge was Florence Nightingale’s uncle. Their time spent in Athens and the Levant is not clear; however it seems likely that they were settled in Athens from about 1835 to 1839, with frequent trips to England. Similarly, it is most likely that on their return back to the UK, they continued to own property in Greece. A painting by Selina is in the possession of the Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery.

Three quarter length portrait of Thomas Robert Malthus (1766 - 1834) seated on a chair with a book in his lap, dressed in an academic gown over his dark tailcoat. Malthus was an English cleric, scholar and influential economist in the fields of political economy and demography. In his 1798 book An Essay on the Principle of Population, Malthus observed that an increase in a nation's food production improved the well-being of the population, but the improvement was temporary because it led to population growth, which in turn restored the original per capita production level. In other words, humans had a tendency to utilize abundance for population growth rather than for maintaining a high standard of living, a view that has become known as the "Malthusian trap."
