The Right Hon.ble William Pitt Engraved by Bartolozzi from the much esteem'd picture in the possession of Lord Viscount Melville
W. Owen pinx.t
London, Pub.d Feb.y 1. 1806 by W. Barnard No.1 Fitzroy Street, Fitzroy Square.
Engraving, platemark 340 x 255mm (13½ x 10"). Small margins.
William Pitt the Younger (1759-1806), prime minister. In 1782, at the age of twenty-three, Pitt was appointed Chancellor of the Exchequer in the ministry of Lord Shelburne as Chancellor of the Exchequer. Shelburne resigned due to opposition from Charles James Fox and Lord North early in 1783, after which Pitt resigned, rejecting overtures to join forces with Fox and North. Following the impact of the American Revolution on the Fox-North coalition, Pitt took advantage of this to secure his administration, and began to enact his agenda. Later that year he became the youngest ever Prime Minister in 1783 at the age of 24. Engraving after a portrait by William Owen (1769-1825), whose sitters also included Lord Grenville and Sir John Soane, many of whose paintings of rustic subjects also became popular engraving. Owen was made portrait painter to the prince of Wales in 1810 but met an unfortunate end, dying of poisoning after a chemist's assistant mistakenly gave him a bottle of opium instead of the correct medication.

The Right Hon.le William Pitt, First Lord Commissioner of the Treasury.
J.S. Copley Pinx. F. Bartolozzi Sculp.
Publish'd Jany. 19th.1789 by W. Dickinson New Bond Street.
A very fine stipple. Plate 272 x 216mm. 10¾ x 8½".
William Pitt the Younger (1759-1806) was a British politician. By 1783 he had become the Right Hon. William Pitt when he joined the government of Lord Shelburne as Chancellor of the Exchequer and was appointed a member of the Privy Council. He became the youngest Prime Minister in 1783 at the age of 24. Following the impact of the American Revolution on the Fox-North coalition, Pitt took advantage of this to secure his administration, and began to enact his agenda. His first major piece of legislation as Prime Minister was the India Act 1784. The Regulating Act had been enacted to primarily weed-out corruption in the East India Company in the Bengal. This Act provided for the appointment of a board of control, and a joint government of the company on the crown. The governors of Bombay and Madras were deprived of their independence and given lesser authority in decision making. Calcutta was given great powers in matters of wat, revenue and diplomacy; thus becoming in effect the administrative capital of compnay possessions in India.

Pizzaro a New Play or the Drury-Lane Masquerade.
Pubd June 11th 1799 by SW Fores 50 Piccadilly.
Hand coloured etching, 18th century watermark, plate 255 x 410mm (10 x 16"), with small margins. Small holes and abrasions in margins and plate mark. Tears to edges and some light time staining.
Richard Brinsley Butler Sheridan (1751 – 1816), fat and grotesque, dressed as Pizarro leads George III and Charlotte to the Royal box. He holds guttering candles in each hand and belows towards the stage to play God Save the King. George III remarks to Charlotte, "No! no! no Jacobins here all Loyal all Loyal, Charming Man the Author eh! charming Man, never saw him in such a good light before." Three princesses follow; one says: "bless me I never saw that General at Court". Behind are the Dukes of York and Cumberland. On the floor by Sheridan are two papers: 'Maidstone Loyalty' , and '[Tomorr]ow Evening performed a new play called the Loyal Author to which will be added a Peep behind the Curtain Vivan[t] Rex et Regina'. The curtain is down; on the proscenium, replacing the usual 'Veluti in Speculum', is 'Anti Jacobin House'. Charles James Fox (1749–1806) and another man stand in the pit, waving their hats towards the royal box. All the principal Drury Lane singers sang 'God Save the King' before the perfomance, with the Duke of York's (Coldstream) band on the stage. 'Rule Britannia' was sung between Pizarro and the farce ('The Apprentice') and 'God Save the King' was again sung while the King and Queen were leaving the theatre. Sheridan adapted Pizarro (1796) from August von Kotzebue's Spanier in Peru (1796).
