Mezzotint, sheet 415 x 260mm (16½ x 10¼"). On 18th century watermarked paper. Trimmed to plate. Light creasing. Small repaired tears to top. Small repaired hole in hair. Tiny abrasion on shoulder.
A full-length portrait of anglo-irish politician John Perceval, 1st Earl Egmont (1683-1748) dressed in rich robes, standing against ruins. In 1703 he was elected to the Irish House of Commons for County Cork and a year later he was admitted to the Irish Privy Council. He was raised to the Peerage of Ireland in 1715 as Baron Perceval and in 1722 he was created Viscount Perceval. In 1727 he was elected to the British House of Commons for Harwich, where he stayed until 1734. In 1733 he was further honoured when he was made Earl of Egmont in the Peerage of Ireland; he rejected British peerage three times. In 1728 he became a member of the committee of Parliament investigating prison conditions. He soon became a close associate of James Oglethorpe, who chaired the committee. In 1730, the two men were among those who formed an association that later became the Trustees for the Establishment of the Colony of Georgia in America. George II approved a charter for the colony in 1732, making Egmont president of the Georgia Trustees.

[Silvester Harding, c. 1801]
Watercolour and wash, 130 x 115mm (5 x 4½"). Tipped into album sheet with hand-drawn border.
Henry Percy, Baron Percy of Alnwick (c.1604-59), royalist army officer. Percy established himself within the circle of courtiers surrounding Charles I's queen, Henrietta Maria, and in 1639 was named as a colonel in the bishops' war against the Scots. He was a chief conspirator in a scheme to bring Charles I's army down from the north to intimidate parliament in 1641 but escaped punishment by providing a detailed account of conspiracy which gained him a reputation for treachery amongst royalists. Percy now retired to France where he remained a favourite of the exiled queen. Watercolour, probably after a detail of the half-length portrait by a follower of van Dyck (Petworth House) by Silvester Harding (1745/51-1809), artist and publisher. After setting up a shop in Fleet Street with his brother Edward in 1786, Harding was chiefly employed in drawing portraits of theatrical celebrities, and in copying ancient portraits in watercolours, as here. The partnership was dissolved by 1798 (before this watercolour was made). Harding was known to, and esteemed by the collectors of his day, and many examples of his work are in the British Museum. His son George Perfect Harding also specialised in watercolour copies of early portraits.

Casimir Pierre Périer (1777-1832) was a French statesman, President of the Council during the July Monarchy, when he headed the conservative Parti de la résistance. In 1798 he joined the army until in 1801 he founded a bank in Paris with his brother. In 1817 he entered the Chamber of Deputies for Paris, taking his seat in the Left Centre and making his first speech in defence of the freedom of the press. After becoming President of the Chamber of Deputies he was eventually summoned to power and in a short amount of time, managed to re-establish civic order in France; Jacques-Antoine Manuel (1775-1827) was a French lawyer, politician and noted orator. He fought in the Italian campaigns under Napoleon and in 1814 he was chosen a member of the Chamber of Representatives and in 1815 he protested against the restoration of the Bourbons; and Maximilien Sebastien Foy (1775-1825) was a French military leader, statesman and writer. He fought under Dumourier, PIchegru, Moreau, Masséna and others. In 1803, as colonel of the 5th regiment of the horse artillery, he refused the appointment of aide-de-camp on Napoleon's assumption of the imperial throne. He later served in Portugal and Spain before returning to France where in 1819, after embracing the case of the Emperor during the Hundred Days and the Waterloo, he was elected a member of the Chamber of Deputies. All three men were integral figures during the political shift in France at the turn of the 19th century.

Printed for V. Green, Salisbury Street, Strand, London. ~ Published July 23.d 1770.
Scarce mezzotint. 330 x 227mm (13 x 9").
A portrait of Sir Richard Perrott (c.1716-96), '2nd Baronet, soldier and diplomat'. According to his own account of his life, reproduced in Burke's Peerage, he attended the Duke of Cumberland at Culloden in 1745 before entering the service of Frederick the Great of Prussia, for whom he fought in the Seven Years' War, becoming Fredrick's Lord High Admiral. He also came to the attention of Louis XV, who made him a baron. Back in England in 1767 he received a warrant confirming his baronetcy and in 1770, after bringing to George III a 'Loyal Flint Address' during the Wilkes Riots of 1770, received a letter of thanks and a medal, which he is wearing in this portrait. Vengeful rioters then ransacked his house in Park Lane, after which he departed for a trip to Italy. However, according to a lengthy article in the ''The Herald and Genealogist'' of 1874, Perrot was a fraudster, the son of 'a decayed distiller of Mardol, in Shrewsbury'. Impersonating foreign dignitaries he married and dumped a series of heiresses, using their money to finance other frauds. His house in Park Lane did not fall victim to rioters but baliffs representing the tradesmen who furnished it, after which he decided it was better to disappear.
