Rare stipple. Ssheet 215 x 135mm (8½ x 5¼"). Trimmed as published; slight foxing.
Sir Murray Maxwell (1775-1831), naval officer. Maxwell commanded ships in the West Indies before he was appointed to the frigate 'Alceste' in 1807, on which he served with distinction in the Mediterranean. In 1812 he was appointed to the 'Daedelus', sailing to India, but when that ship was wrecked off Ceylon in 1813, Maxwell was re-appointed to the 'Alceste', conveying Lord Amherst to the emperor of China in 1816. While Amherst was in China, Maxwell explored the Gulf of Pecheli (Beizhili), the west coast of Korea—until then unknown except by hearsay, and drawn on the chart by imagination— and the Loo-Choo Islands. The results of this exploration were documented by Captain Basil Hall in his 'Account of a Voyage of Discovery to the Western Coast of Corea and the Great Loo-Choo Island' (1818). After Lord Amherst re-embarked in January 1817 the ship struck a rock near Pulo Leat and everyone was forced to flee the wrecked ship and make for shore, where they were eventually rescued (having been threatened by Malay pirates). Maxwell was knighted for his conduct in 1818, having been tried by court martial and fully acquitted in 1817 (the year this portrait was made). He subsequently commanded the 'Briton' on the South American station. Not in O'D; for views from Clarke Abel's book published following the same embassy, see refs. 25037-9.

Engraving. Sheet 190 x 140mm (7½ x 5½"). Trimmed within plate, mounted on album paper.
Everard Maynwaring, (c.1627-c.1699), a doctor at the forefront of 'Chemical Medicine'. In 1665 Maynwaring was one of the proponents of the 'Society of Chymical Physicians', which was meant to challenge the authority of the College of Physicians. His techniques seem to have been successful: also in 1665 he was entrusted with the care of the pest-house of the society for employing the poor in Middlesex and he claimed that out of the eighty patients in his care, fifty-six recovered. Among his books were 'The ancient and modem Practice of Physic', 'A Treatise on the Preservation of Health and Long Life', 'The' Complete Physician', 'History of the Venereal Lues', 'The Pharmacopian Physician'a Repository', 'A Treatise of Consuptions' and another on the Scurvy. After the Restoration King James's 'Counterblast to Tobacco" was reprinted: to which is subjoined 'A learned Discourse written by Dr. Everard Maynwaring, proving that Tobacco is a procuring Cause of the Scurvy'; also his 'Serious Cautions against excessive Drinking, with several Examples of God's severe Judgments upon Notorious Drunkards, who have died suddenly', &c.'. It is likely that this a frontispiece portrait for one of his works. Grainger: 'A Biographical History of England'; Wellcome 6438i.

Don Jose de Mazarredo y Salazar de Muñatones Cortázar (1745-1812), considered to be one of the best Spanish naval commanders of all time. In 1780, with the Spanish and French siding against Britain in the American War of Independence, he inflicted a huge blow on Britain's war efforts by attacking a convoy en route to Florida and capturing 55 out of the 63 ships and 3000 soldiers and sailors, along with their cargo of 80,000 muskets, many field guns, 300 barrels of gunpowder, more than £1,000,000 in gold and silver and uniforms for more than a dozen regiments. During the French Revolutionary Wars Mazarredo initially had some success but he antagonised Napoleon, whose plans he called 'imperialistic and despotic', and was dismissed from the navy. Besides his wartime activities Mazarredo studied and taught naval theory. In 1778, as commander of the ship of the line San Juan Bautista, he compiled hydrographic surveys in the Iberian Peninsula, contributing to the creation of a Maritime Atlas. He also surveyed ports of South America. A large map is open on the table showing Australia. From a scrapbook compiled by Rev. Willaim Bradford (1780-1857), Chaplain and war artist during the Peninsula Wars.

Margaret McAvoy (1800-1820), captioned in Robert Cooper's print of 1821 as 'An extraordinary Blind Girl'. In 1817 Liverpool physician Thomas Renwick published 'A narrative of the case of Miss Margaret McAvoy'. McAvoy was reputed to possess extraordinary powers of recognition through touch and smell, and to silence his critics Renwick carried out a series of experimental tests on the girl, involving various masks and blindfolds (as shown here). Renwick's account also reports McAvoy's ability to distinguish different colours of fabric and paint, as stated on this print. It is probably derived from the frontispiece to Renwick's book.

A tiny Duchess of York (1767-1820) walks along holding the hands of the Prince of Wales (1762-1830) and the Duke of York (1763-1827). The Prince, who is in civilian dress, wearing a round high-crowned hat, says (written in ink), "My Dear little Sister when you are tired Big Sam shall carry you!" Big Sam refers to the colossal man behind them in Highland dress wearing a plaid, sporran (with the Prince of Wales feathers as a crest), and feathered cap. Samuel McDonald, also known as the Prince's Highlander, was a porter at Carlton House from 1791 to 1793. His height was 6 ft. 10 inches. The Duke wears a regimental uniform and gestures to the right to a distant scene, where George III (1738-1820) in hunting dress chases two galloping pigs with a whip, saying, "Pig wont go", and the Queen Charlotte (1744-1818) is milking a cow. Bm Satires 7905.
