George Kinloch Esq.r M.P. On the 22nd Dec.r 1819, Forced to flee his Country and proclaimed an Outlaw for having advocated the cause of People and the necessity of Reform. On the 22nd Dec.r 1832, Proclaimed the chosen Representative of the Town of Dundee in the Reformed House of Commons.
Drawn on Stone by W.Sharp from a Minature by Miss M Saunders.
[Printed by C. Hullmandel] [c. 1832]
Lithograph, sheet 7¾ x 5¼" (170 x 135mm).
Bust portrait of the Scottish politician and reformer George Kinloch (1775 –1833). His first involvement with politics was in 1814 and involved the extension of the harbour in Dundee, a project which earned him the gratitude of business interests in the city. His involvement with mass meetings in 1817 and 1819 agitating for Parliamentary reform attracted less favorable attention, and he was forced to flee to France and was declared an outlaw. In 1822 his daughter was presented to George IV in Edinburgh and interceded for him, and he was able to return. When Dundee was given representation in Parliament by the Reform Act 1832, Kinloch was elected MP. His 1831 speech to voters included his anti slavery views. He probably gained his anti slavery views when in 1795 Kinloch inherited a slave plantation "The Grange" in Jamaica from his uncle, which he sold in 1804. He died in London two months after the start of Parliament; his body was brought back to Scotland for burial at the Kinloch Chapel at Meigle.

John Leveson-Gower, first Earl Gower (1694-1754), politician. Leader of the Tories in the Lords in the 1730s, after Walpole's fall he was the one Tory to take high office (as lord privy seal and a privy councillor, from 1742) in the new ministry, as delebrated here. However, he resigned in December 1743, soon after this print was published. He subsequently regained his position as lord privy seal and held it until his death. Gower's proximity to the whig administration provoked suspicion that he had deserted Tory principles (Dr Johnson included him in his dictionary definition for 'renegado' although the printer removed the reference).

Caricature of John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich (1718 - 1792), First Lord of the Admiralty. He stands directed to the right, his head in profile, his left hand thrust into his waistcoat, his right in his waistcoat pocket. Montagu instituted reforms in naval dockyards with Anson, but was later blamed for the rundown at the time of the American War of Independence. He was known as 'Jemmy Twitcher' for his part in the prosecution of his friend Wilkes. The Sandwich Islands were named after him. The subject of innumerable caricatures and lampoons, his most lasting contribution to British culture is his invention of the now-familiar snack - the sandwich. By James Sayers (1748 - 1823). Sayers's caricatures were so powerful and direct in their purpose that Fox is said to have declared that they did him more harm than all the attacks made on him in parliament or the press.

Ingres Rome 1815. C. Hullmandel's Lithography.
[n.d., c.1820.]
Rare lithograph. Sheet 620 x 440mm (24½ x 17¼"), with large margins, edges uncut. Mint.
Four portraits printed from one stone but designed to be cut: Lord and Lady Glenbervie and their son Frederic Douglas, and Lady Glenbervie's brother Frederic North, 5th Earl of Guilford. These four portraits, drawn directly onto one stone by the painter John Dominique Ingres, 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. Man states that he has only seen 8 uncut examples, demonstrating its rarity.

JS[ayers] f.
Published 14th May 1782 by C.Bretherton.
Etching on thick watermarked laid paper, 175 x 110mm. 7 x 4¼". Uncut with large margins.
Caricature portrait of Robert Nugent, Earl Nugent (1702 - 1788), bending forward, his head in profile to the left, his right hand extended, his hat in his left hand; as if speaking in the House of Commons. Nugent was noted for speeches in a rich brogue and for his support of every Ministry in turn. An Irish peer and M.P. for St. Mawes, he was nicknamed 'Squire Gawkey' and was also called "the old rat of the Constitution". By James Sayers (1748 - 1823). Sayers's caricatures were so powerful and direct in their purpose that Fox is said to have declared that they did him more harm than all the attacks made on him in parliament or the press. Numbered '8' upper left. The publisher Charles Bretherton (c.1760 fl - 1783) was the younger brother of James Bretherton.
