The Generae of Patriotism, _ or _ The Bloomsbury Farmer, planting Bedfordshire Wheat.
J.s G.y des et fec.r.
Pub.d Feb.y 3.d 1796 by H Humphrey New Bond Street.
Etching with aquatint, sheet 245 x 355mm (9¾ x 14") Trimmed within plate/to plate on three sides.
Francis Russell, 5th Duke of Bedford (1765 – 1802), as a farmer, scatters guineas from a pouch slung to his shoulder. As he sows the tips of bonnets-rouges and spikes sprout up; behind him they progressively emerge more completely, and appear as little Jacobins, a raised dagger in each hand, crowding in close ranks towards the horizon, where they hail (or are smitten by) thunderbolts which dart from clouds in the upper left corner of the design and explode on reaching the ground. The soil is prepared by Richard Brinsley Sheridan (1751-1816) and James Maitland, 8th Earl of Lauderdale (1759-1839): a bull (John Bull) is harnessed to a plough which is guided by Sheridan wearing a bonnet-rouge and Lauderdale raises a whip to flog the weary bull.. Fox's smiling face is the centre of a sun which issues from clouds and shines on Bedford. Bedford was an ardent supporter of Fox and a friend of Lauderdale; for his lavish expenditure for party purposes. Bedford was a great agriculturist and an original member of the Board of Agriculture

London Published Feb. 14. 1884 by the Fine Art Soceity. 148 New Bond Street, New York, M. Knoedler & Co.
Copperplate etching, plate 305 x 475mm (12 x 18¾"), with very large margins. Some discolouration. Repairs made leaving a bit of cockling within the image, however largely unnoticeable and textured effect in the margins.
A shepherd and his dogs watch over his sheep during a snowstorm. A copperplate etching by Frederick Slocombe (1847-1920) from an original painting by Joseph Farquharson (1846-1935).

Farquharson has captured the remarkably realistic effects of a snow storm by painting the original painting in the open air albeit from the relative comfort of the artist's specially constructed mobile painting hut, which contained a stove. The sheep, however, were false, fabricated in plaster by a local sculptor.
