The Hon.ble George Cranfield Berkeley Knight of the Shire for the County of Gloucester Captain in his Majesty's Royal Navy, And Surveyor General of the Ordnance.

Published Feb. 17th 1794, by John Fairburn, No.146 Minories London.
Mezzotint engraving, 660 x 455mm. Vertical crease breaking mezzotint surface lower right edge of plate.
George Cranfield Berkeley (1753 - 1818), admiral, entered the navy in 1766 on board the Mary yacht, under the flag of his cousin, Rear-admiral Keppel, then appointed to carry over to Denmark the unfortunate Caroline Matilda. Young Berkeley was for some time the queen's page, and was afterwards appointed to the Guernsey, 50 guns, bearing the broad pennant of Commodore Pallisser, then going out as governor of Newfoundland. Here he had the peculiar advantage of instruction from Mr. Gilbert, then master of the Guernsey, and afterwards of the Resolution with Captain Cook, and assisted him in the survey of the coast of Newfoundland and the Gulf of St. Lawrence. In 1812 he retired altogether from active, and indeed from public life; for twenty-seven years (1783 - 1810) he had represented Gloucestershire in parliament, and had been a persistent supporter of Pitt, and an uncompromising opponent of the Addington ministry. The publisher Faitburn has re-issued this plate first published by B. Evans in 1793

Between signs pointing to Cheltenham and Gloucester, a woman kneels at the feet of Col. Berkeley, a tall handsome man in regimentals, wearing a plumed cocked hat. He holds a flag inscribed Letters to Amuse the Public expose the Writer and save my Pocket; on this hangs a letter-file on which papers are spiked. She begs ''In Pity don't Expose me!''. He says ''They will save me thousands''. A coach of onlookers comment, including ''Where's the Honor of a Soldier and Faith there is none in this''. William Berkeley (1786-18570, 1st Earl FitzHardinge, was sued by coach proprietor John Waterhouse for ''Criminal conversation'' with Waterhouse's wife. Despite the attempts satirised here, Waterhouse was awarded £1000 damages at Gloucester Assizes. The scandal did not stop Berkeley becoming Lord-Lieutenant of Gloucestershire in 1836.

Hector Berlioz (1803-1869), the French Romantic composer. It was through mediations of Francis Wey, a great friend of Berlioz, that the musician agreed to sit for a portrait at Courbet's studio in 1850. Courbet must have been delighted at such an opportunity. Berlioz, then aged about forty-five years old, was an important figure on the artistic scene, and was a good friend of Victor Hugo, whom Courbet admired. However, the meeting was not a success. Berlioz was a secretive man, easily offended. Courbet, on the other hand, prided himself on his musical ability, and took advantage of the composer's presence to demonstrate his talents as a singer.
The original oil is in the Musee d'Orsay, Paris.
