A three-quarter seated portrait of cordwainer Timothy Bennett (c.1676-1756) wearing a plain coat buttoned to the lower chest, with a white cravat, holding walking stick and gloves. In 1752 Bennett realised that because Lord Halifax, the Park Ranger, had closed the path through Bushy Park, people were detouring away from his shop on their way to Kingston Market. He joined the campaign to establish public right of way through the park, becoming a figurehead. At first he was dismissed by the ranger as an 'impertinent fellow', but soon Halifax realised that the public had a strong case and, fearing an embarassing defeat, summoned Bennett to a meeting, at which this portrait was sketched. A path was restored, still bearing the name Cobbler's Walk.

Profile portraits of three plotters who tried to blow up Russian & Danish ships frozen at anchor in Copenhagen harbour during the Russo-Swedish War in 1789. Lars Benzelstierna (1759-1808), conspiring with an Irish innkeeper called Shields, purchased a cutter from another Irishman, a captain called O'Brien, using money provided by Sweden king Gustaf III. He planned to fill it with explosives and move it among the Russian ships, invite Russian officers aboard and blow them up. However O'Brien mentioned the plot to an Englishman, who had him arrested. Benzelstierna hid in the Swedish embassy but eventually gave himself up and was sentenced to death by beheading, the ladder and wheel. However the sentence was commuted on appeal; he was pardoned in 1796 when the political situation between Sweden and Denmark changed.

Lord Charles Beresford.
From a Photograph by the London Steroscopic Co. Maclure & MacDonald, Chromo Lith. London.
The Pictorial World. Supplement to the New Series. December 16th 1882.
Chromolithograph. 626 x 416mm.
Charles William de la Poer Beresford, 1st Baron Beresford GCB GCVO (1846-1919), known as Lord Charles Beresford until 1916, was a British Admiral and Member of Parliament. He combined the two careers of the navy and a member of parliament, making a reputation as a hero in battle and champion of the navy in the House of Commons. He was a well-known and popular figure who courted publicity, widely known to the British public as "Charlie B". He was considered by many to be a personification of John Bull, indeed was normally accompanied by his trademark, a bulldog. His later career was marked by a longstanding dispute with Admiral of the Fleet Sir John Fisher, over reforms championed by Fisher introducing new technology and sweeping away traditional practices. Fisher, slightly senior to Beresford and more successful, became a barrier to Beresford's rise to the highest office in the navy. Beresford rose to occupy the most senior sea commands, the Mediterranean and Channel fleets, but failed in his ambition to become First Sea Lord.
