Maximilien de Béthune, Duke of Sully (1560-1641) was a French Minister and staunch Huguenot who acted as the right-hand man to Henry IV of France and assisted in the rule of France. He also greatly contributed to the rehabilitation of France after the Wars of Religion (1562-98), during which he enlisted in the Protestant Army and wrote a plan of a Christian Union of Protestant Europe.

A Sultana.
London Published by James Cawthorne, 24 Cockspur Street 1812. [But 1813.]
Coloured aquatint with fine colour. 255 x 185mm (10 x 7¼"). Tear entering plate on right.
A costume plate from John Cam Hobhouse's 'A Journey Through Albania, and other Provinces of Turkey in Europe and Asia, to Constantinople'. Hobhouse (1st Baron Broughton, 1786-1869), met Byron at Trinity College, Cambridge, and travelled with him through Italy, Greece and Turkey, a journey which resulted in this book. Hobhouse became Byron's executor after the poet's death in 1824. Despite being imprisoned in Newgate for writing a Radical pamphlet in 1819 Hobhouse became a successful Whig politician, serving in government as Secretary at War, Chief Secretary for Ireland, First Commissioner of Woods and Forests and President of the Board of Control. He became a Privy Councillor in 1832.

Stipple. Plate: 110 x 160mm (4¼ x 6¼"), with large margins.
Half portrait set in a roundel of Vasiliy Suvoroff, a Russian general now best known as the father of Alexander Vasilievich Suvoroff (c.1729-1800), the fourth (and last) Generalissimo of Russia, famed for never losing a battle, fighting 63. It is probable that the publisher got father and son confused, as the portrait was published at the height of Alexander's successes, driving the French out of most of Italy.

London Publish'd June 21st 1799 by Messrs Schiavonetti, No 12 Michaels Place Brompton.
Very fine stipple. 355 x 250mm (14 x 10"), with very large margins. Mint.
Aleksandr Vasilyevich Suvorov (1729-1800), Russian military commander. He was the fourth and last generalissimo of the Russian Empire. He was one of the few great generals in history who never lost a battle, and he was famed for his military manual 'The Science of Victory'. This print was published in 1799, soon after Suvorov (aged 68) led his forces to victories at Cassano d'Adda and Trebbia in the Italian campaign which contributed to driving French troops from Italy and therefore ensured his popularity in England.

[Aleksandr Vasilyevich Suvorov] Field Marshal Count Alexander Suwarrow Rimniskoy Commander in Chief of the Combined Armies in Italy.
C. Hampe del. N. Schiavonetti Sculp.
London Publish'd June 21st 1799, by
Stipple. 110 x 160mm (4¼ x 6¼"), with large margins.
Half portrait set in a roundel of Alexander Vasilievich Suvoroff (c.1729-1800), the fourth (and last) Generalissimo of Russia, famed for never losing a battle, fighting 63. The portrait celebrates his successes in Italy (1799-1800), when his combined Austro-Russian army drove the French out of most of Italy. Promised a triumph, his emnity with the Tsar Paul meant it was never held. When Suvoroff died soon after his return Paul ensured his Generalissimo's funeral honours were downgraded to that of a field marshal. Undoubtedly this pettiness towards a national hero was one of the reasons Paul was assassinated by disaffected army officers less than a year later.
