Engraving, sheet 225 x 170mm (8¾ x 6¾"). Trimmed; tipped into album sheet.
Count Imre Thököly de Késmárk (1658-1705), Hungarian nobleman who led an anti-Habsburg uprising, following his father Istvan (who died when he was a child) in doing so. He led an army of rebels, reinforced by Turkish and Transylvanian forces, and established himself as Prince of Upper Hungary (1682-5). Having formed an alliance with the Ottoman Empire, Thököly assisted the Turks in the Battle of Vienna in 1683, in which intervention from the Polish army of Sobieski led to a decisive defeat for the Ottoman army. Thököly then tried to reconcile himself with Habsburg Emperor Leopold I, offering to lay down his arms in exchange for recognition of Thököly as Prince of Upper Hungary and confirmation of Protestant religious rights in Hungary. Leopold, however, demanded complete surrender, and Thököly renewed hostilities. This 1685 campaign was also a failure and ended in imprisonment. Although Thököly achieved subsequent victories with diminished forces, he lost his principality of Upper Hungary and finally retired to Galata, near Istanbul, with large estates granted him by Sultan Mustafa II.

From a series of portraits by Count Alfred Guillaume Gabriel d'Orsay (1801 - 1852), Paris-born artist and gentleman of fashion. His profile sketches of his contemporaries, to the number of 125, include among them nearly all the literary, artistic, and fashionable celebrities of that time. Many of the drawing are part of the Government Art Collection. Count Alfred d'Orsay was a fashionable icon of British high society for over 20 years. He was noted for being a very handsome man with talents in many fields (politics, literature, painting, design). Alfred d'Orsay was a good friend to famous poets, writers and politicians of the day. With his beloved Lady Blessington at his side, the two hosted the most fashionable salon of the time in Gore House (London). D'Orsay was a Frenchman who lived his life in England with his only love who, alas, was not his wife. Neither his marriage nor hers prevented the pair from living together.
