William Osborn (1736-1808), man-midwife. After practicing as a surgeon for some years, he was elected man-midwife to the lying-in hospital in Bloomsbury, London. He set up a private school of midwifery with Thomas Denman, and they taught together from 1770 until they parted company in 1782 (the two were believed to have educated more than 1200 practitioners of midwifery). Osborn also published widely on the subject, and the sheet of paper he holds here is probably intended to represent one of his manuscripts. CS 58. W.2189.

Portrait of Thomas Osborne, Duke of Leeds, bust to left in an oval on pedestal, wearing a wig; third state. Thomas Osborne, 1st Duke of Leeds (1632-1712) was an English statesman, who served in a variety of offices under Kings Charles II and William III of England. He was joint Treasurer of the Royal Navy in 1668 and Lord Treasurer of England in 1673. His success in stabilizing the government's financial position secured him a position as Charles II's chief minister and the title of Earl of Danby in 1674. He played a key role in bringing William and Mary to the throne in 1689, and his influence declined when he was impeached in 1695 for taking a bribe from the East India Company.

Thomas Osborne (1631-1712) was 1st Duke of Leeds and a statesman who was created Earl of Danby in 1674. He served as Lord High Treasurer from 1673 to 1679, and strove successfully but unscrupulously to balance the royal finances. He was impeached and imprisoned between 1679 and 1684 following the discovery that his anti-French policy in Parliament was belied by secret pro-French treaties. He later opposed the policies of James II, and was honoured and appointed Lord President of the Council by William III between 1689 and 1699, but then faced another attempted impeachment in 1695 for receiving bribes.

Othello standing over the bed of Desdemona as she sleeps, a candle and dagger in his hands. John Boydell (1720-1804), publisher and Lord Mayor of London in 1790, began his Shakespeare Gallery to encourage British historical painting by commissioning paintings on the theme of Shakeapeare's plays from leading artists and reproducing them as high quality prints. When his gallery in Pall Mall opened in 1789 it contained 34 paintings; by the end it has nearly 170, by artists including Kauffman, Richard Westall, Thomas Stothard, George Romney, Henry Fuseli, Benjamin West, Robert Smirke, John Opie & Francesco Bartolozzi. 96 were engraved, published separately until the bound edition, ''A Collection of Prints, From Pictures Painted for the Purpose of Illustrating the Dramatic Works of Shakspeare, by the Artists of Great-Britain'' was issued in 1805. The project was over-ambitious and the cost caused the firm to go bankrupt. See Ref: 59333 for Proof before Letters.

Othello standing over the bed of Desdemona as she sleeps, a candle and dagger in his hands. John Boydell (1720-1804), publisher and Lord Mayor of London in 1790, began his Shakespeare Gallery to encourage British historical painting by commissioning paintings on the theme of Shakeapeare's plays from leading artists and reproducing them as high quality prints. When his gallery in Pall Mall opened in 1789 it contained 34 paintings; by the end it has nearly 170, by artists including Kauffman, Richard Westall, Thomas Stothard, George Romney, Henry Fuseli, Benjamin West, Robert Smirke, John Opie & Francesco Bartolozzi. 96 were engraved, published separately until the bound edition, ''A Collection of Prints, From Pictures Painted for the Purpose of Illustrating the Dramatic Works of Shakspeare, by the Artists of Great-Britain'' was issued in 1805. The project was over-ambitious, and the cost caused the firm to go bankrupt.
