Etching with letterpress, sheet 345 x 210 (13¾ x 8¼"). Creased where previously folded.
A broadside on the electorate of John Wilkes (1726-97), presenting a petition signed by 1565 freeholders to King George III (1738-1820) on 24 May 1769; with an etching showing the King seated on his throne, attended by two courtiers, in front of him a man presents a scroll, on the left a group of six men stand; with engraved title, and letterpress title and text in three columns.

After the last election his opponent Henry Lawes Luttrell (1743–1821) was declared elected. Supporters of Wilkes formed the Bill of Rights Society, which tried to force Parliament to accept the will of the Middlesex electorate (the society aimed also at parliamentary reforms). According to BM Satires, an impression of this print faces p.209 of the Oxford Magazine (1769). The print was published with the June number of the Magazine. BM Satires 4289.

Portrait of Thomas Fanshaw Middleton (1769-1822), an Anglian Bishop, who became the first Bishop of Calcutta in 1814, this included not only India but also the entire territory of the British East India Company. Upon his arrival in India, he discovered that he was prohibited from ordaining "Natives of India," as all ordinations were conducted by the East India Company in London. In response, he established Bishop's College in Calcutta, which admitted British, Indian, and Anglo-Indian students, some of whom were eligible to pursue ordination. However, despite being designed to accommodate seventy students, the college had only enrolled eight students even fourteen years after its founding. He died in Calcutta of sunstroke on 8 July 1822.
