J. Reynolds pinxt. R. Houston fecit.
London, Printed for Bowles & Carver, No.69 St. Paul's Church Yard [n.d., c.1760s].
Mezzotint, 150 x 110mm (6 x 4¼").
Portrait of John Manners, Marquess of Granby (1721 - 1770), Commander-in-Chief of the Army. John Manners was the oldest son and heir of John Manners, third Duke of Rutland, who survived him. He was known by his father's subsidiary title of Marquess of Granby. Granby entered Parliament as an MP in 1741. His fame is based on his activities as a commander in the Seven Years War, where he served in Western Germany under Ferdinand of Brunswick. He was extremely popular as a commander, and this is reflected in the number of inns and pubs named after him. Granby became master-general of the ordnance in 1763, and the twelfth commander-in-chief from 1766 until 1770 when he retired from office. Numbered '36' lower right. After Sir Joshua Reynolds (1723 - 1792), in reverse direction to the other versions of this portrait by Richard Houston.

[n.d. c.1849]
Scarce pair of engravings, sheet 130 x 275mm (5¼ x 10¾"). Trimmed and glued to album sheet. Creases from where previously folded.
Three-quarter seated portrait of Frederick George Manning (d.1849) and seated bust portrait of Maria Manning (nee de Roux c.1821–49). They were hanged on the roof of London’s Horsemonger Lane Gaol on 13 November 1849, after she and her husband were convicted of murdering her lover, Patrick O’Connor, in the case that became known as the ''Bermondsey Horror.'' It marked the first execution of a husband and wife together in England since 1700. Charles Dickens (1812-70) witnessed the public execution and condemned the behavior of the crowd in a letter to 'The Times' that same day. He later drew on Maria’s life when creating the character of Mademoiselle Hortense, Lady Dedlock’s maid in Bleak House.

W.m Manning, Esq.r M.P. Governor of the Bank of England.
Painted by J. Lonsdale. Engrav'd by C. Turner
London, Pub.d Sept.r 18, 1813 for the Proprietor, by C. Turner, Warren Street, Fitzroy Square.
Fine mezzotint with very large margins, Proof on right; 610 x 370mm (24 x 14½").
Large full-length portrait of William Manning, merchant (1763-1835). Long associated with the Bank of England, he served as governor between 1812 and 1814. The son of planters from St Kitts, Manning was also a merchant trading to the West Indies, and an agent for Grenada and St Vincent. Manning was also particularly active in campaigning for the construction of a dock to serve West Indies trade (which opened on the Isle of Dogs in 1802).Manning, who made (and subsequently lost) a large fortune, was also father of Cardinal Manning. The classical architecture visible behind is presumably part of Soane's work on the Bank of England, most of which was replaced by Sir Herbert Baker's rebuilding in what Pevsner called 'the greatest architectural crime of the twentieth century'. Lonsdale's painting is in the collection of the Bank of England.
