Joseph Nollekens (1737-1823) was a sculptor from London generally considered to be the finest British sculptor of the late 18th century. He was also a founder member of the Royal Academy in 1768. He studied first under Peter Scheemakers before studying and working as an antiques dealer, restorer and copier in Rome from 1759 to 1770. Returning to England he became one of the most fashionable portrait sculptors in the country. Nollekens enjoyed the patronage of George III and went on to sculpt a number of British political figures, including George III himself, William Pitt the Younger, Charles James Fox, and Charles Watson-Wentworth. He also made busts of a number of figures from the arts such as Laurence Sterne and Benjamin West. Additionally, he made a large number of tombs. Nollekens died in London, having made a fortune from his work. A notorious miser, he left around £200,000 in his will. WH: 405 II

[n.d. c.1783]
Scarce engraving, plate 230 x 190mm (9 x 7½"), with large margins. Creased.
Standing together with a ribbon around their shoulders that reads "Tie of Interest," are Frederick North, 2nd Earl of Guilford (1732-1792) and Charles James Fox (1749-1806). With his left arm resting on Fox's left shoulder, North addresses him, saying, "Though you are a Fox by name & nature I hope to me you will prove no traitor." "While you can give me Place & Pension Your neck need never fear Extension," Fox responds. A piece of paper bearing the name "Vicar of Bray" is resting on Fox's shoulder beneath North's hand. Fox is leaning against a table on his right, and his left hand is resting on it. He is holding a piece of paper that says, "Debts of honor to my Lord Cog—150.1700." A paper with the words "Plan for disarming the I------h. V------rs" [Irish Volunteers] and some cards and dice are on the table. Two oval bust portraits of North and Fox are located on the background wall. The left portrait shows North in clerical bands and gown, with the inscription "Vicar of Bray," while the right portrait shows Fox wearing a rope around his neck with the inscription "Sergius Cataline." These depictions suggest that North is the dishonest timeserver, and Fox is the treacherous conspirator. There are three prints above the portraits. An execution scene is depicted on the left; two figures are hanging from a gibbet after the cart has just rolled away. A ship in full sail is being blown by a blast with the word "Boreas" in the centre. The "Stream of Corruption" is the body of water it travels on. "State Vessel" is inscribed on the frame. A print depicting a fox stealing a goose can be found on the right. There's a big sack on the ground (left) with the word "Budget" on it. BM Satires 6179.

Thus the map covers the Triangular Slave Trade. This example was issued just before the outbreak of the Seven Years' War.

Frederic (North) Earl of Guildford. Nat 7 Feb 1766.
Ingres Rome 1815. C. Hullmandel's Lithography.
[n.d., c.1820.]
Lithograph. Sheet 320 x 230mm (12¾x 9"). Surface dirt on edges of paper. Right margin creased.
A seated portrait of Frederick North, 5th Earl of Guildford, sketched in Rome by John Dominique Ingres. The portrait was one of four drawn directly onto one stone by the painter, but designed to be cut. The other sitters were North's sister, Lady Glenbervie, her husband, Sylvester Douglas, and their son, Frederick Sylvester Douglas. The four portraits are lauded as masterpieces of the classical art of drawing. So great is their mastery that experts have disputed whether Ingres, having no previous documented experience of lithography, could have achieved such a feat. However, Felix Man argues convincingly that in Rome Ingres would have had the necessary facilities likely found at the printing and publishing establishment of Giovanni Dall'Armi (XXI-XXII, Man 1953). Though the portraits were drawn by Ingres in Rome, the family took the stone back to England to be printed by Charles Hullmandel in 1820, when he added the sitters' titles and biographical dates.
