[P. Lelij pinxit.] [Engraved by Paul van Somer?]
R. Tompson excudit. [n.d., c.1670.]
Mezzotint, false proof. 335 x 255mm (13¼ x 10"). Trimmed to plate, stains.
A portrait of Prince Rupert of the Rhine (1619 - 1682), three-quarter length, standing to the right, wearing a wig, lace cravat, and robes of the Garter.

Prince Rupert had artistic and scientific interests and played an important role in the development of mezzotint as well as experimenting with gunpowder, metallurgy, gunnery, and glass manufacture.

[Rural Idyll]
[Anon., c.1760]
Etching, platemark 190 x 240mm (7½ x 9½"). Large margins.
Fascinating and rare pastoral scene showing a dozen figures (and a dog) playing on swings, singing, and taking part in other activities. The scene echoes the landscapes of Gaspar Poussin and the fêtes champêtres painted by Watteau and his contemporaries. The classical vase on a plinth on the right, for instance, is an explicit act of homage to painters of Italian landscape. The bizarre mask in the lower right corner, however, suggests something more than straightforward pastiche.

Rural Retirement. Pl2.
Designed & Etched by R. Seymour.
London. Published by Tho.s M.cLean 26 Haymarket July 1.st 1829.
Hand-coloured etching, sheet 255 x 360mm (10 x 14¼"), On paper watermarked, 'J Whatman Turkey Mill 1829.' Trimmed to plate top and left. Light creasing an surface dirt. Staining.
Nine vignettes: ''Lodging at a Farm House'', Pickle, morose, leans on a table as the farmer’s wife in mid-18th-century dress holds a tattered book, saying, ''I ha gotten a Book Sir her es half the whole duty of man— and we shant be so dull presently as they be going to toll the bell for the Tailor as is just dead.'' ''Weeds''—walking through fields, Pickle gives a coin to one of two rural children. ''Village Gossip'', a barber shaves Pickle while holding his nose, as the farmer’s wife peeps round a folding screen; the barber recounts, ''Yes Sir, one Thought you Mad another you was a fraudulent Bankrupt… Mrs Maggot said you might be a Papist Conspirator & the Beadles wife feared you might hang yourself & cause Trouble to the Parish.'' ''Thorns'', his coat-tail is torn by a briar on a country walk. ''Crossing the Farmyard'',approaching a stile, his coat is seized by a chained watchdog, with hostile turkeys, geese, a boar, scampering pigs, and a bull beyond; a grinning yokel watches from the paling. ''Patience'', he sits on a tomb in the churchyard. ''Rural Evening Walk'', Pickle perches on a bank with feet in a swamp while two yokels watch and whistle; he exclaims, ''A Plague upon those rascally clowns sending one round about down the Bank, over the Moor—through Deadmans Lane & the Halfpenny Hatch—and now up to my knees in this swamp and—good Lord theres a thieves whistle.'' ''A Morning Walk'', reading as he walks, he nearly steps into a stream. ''Blue Devils'', in his farmhouse, Pickle sits beset by tiny demons: one holds a noose, another points to an imp under a book labeled Faux Pas, a bill-sticker demon hovers with ''Bank Stopt Payment'', and others manipulate a watch; he laments, ''Was ever any poor wretch so beset by the blue Devils as I am—not ten o'clock yet, not so much as a mouse stirring through the Village, not a soul to speak to.''

Benjamin Rush M.D.
Painted by Sully. Engraved by Edwin.
Published by Joseph Delaplaine S.W.Corner of Chesnut & Seventh S.ts. Philad.a. 1813.
Stipple engraving. 150 x 105mm (6 x 4"). Trimmed and backed onto album paper.
Portrait of Benjamin Rush Dr. Benjamin Rush (1746 -1813) was an American revolutionary, a Founding Father of the United States and signatory to the U.S. Declaration of Independence, and a civic leader in Philadelphia, where he was a physician, politician, social reformer, humanitarian, educator, and the founder of Dickinson College. Rush was a Pennsylvania delegate to the Continental Congress. He later described his efforts in support of the American Revolution, saying: "He aimed right." He served as surgeon general of the Continental Army and became a professor of chemistry, medical theory, and clinical practice at the University of Pennsylvania. Dr. Benjamin Rush was a leader of the American Enlightenment and an enthusiastic supporter of the American Revolution. He was a leader in Pennsylvania's ratification of the U.S. Constitution in 1788. He was prominent in many reforms, especially in the areas of medicine and education. He opposed slavery, advocated free public schools, and sought improved, but patriarchal, education for women, and a more enlightened penal system. As a leading physician, Rush had a major impact on the emerging medical profession.

[n.d. c.1840.]
Soft-ground etching. 243 x 186mm. Trimmed.
James Bloomfield Rush (1800-1849) murdered Isaac Jermy (his landlord), Mrs Jermy and the maid at Stanfield Hall, Norfolk, England, on 28 November 1848. Rush became known as the ‘Killer in the Fog' and was hanged for his crime on 21 April 1849. Following the mysterious deaths of his father and mother, he soon discovered that he was not left any inheritance, and thus supposedly forged a codicil to state that the youngest child would have to turn 18 before any of them could inherit. It is clear that Rush essentially stole the inheritence of his step-father, and his wife, in order to help bail himself out from imminent bankruptcy. All the loans owed to Isaac Jermy fell due on 30 November 1848, two days after the murders took place.

Admiral of the Fleet Edward Russell, 1st Earl of Orford, PC (1653-1727) was the First Lord of the Admiralty under King William III. He was one of the first gentleman officers of the Royal Navy regularly bred to the sea. In 1671, he was named Lieutenant at the age of eighteen and was promoted to Captain in the following year. In the Third Anglo-Dutch War he saw active service in the North Sea in 1672 and 1673. Russell later served in the Mediterranean in the operations against the Barbary Pirates with Sir John Narborough and Arthur Herbert from 1676 to 1682. In 1683 he ceased to be employed, as all of the members of the Russell family had fallen into disfavour with the King after the discovery of Lord Russell's connection with the Rye House Plot. In 1688, Russell was one of the Immortal Seven, a group of English nobleman who issued the Invitation to William, a document asking William of Orange to depose King James II. In the subsequent War of the Grand Alliance, Russell served at sea, commanding a fleet after 1690. In 1692, Russell was Commander-in-Chief of the Anglo-Dutch force that fought the French fleet at Barfleur, and destroyed much of it at La Hogue, his victory there being the decisive naval battle of the war. Russell became First Lord of the Admiralty in 1694, remaining in that post until 1699. He served in the Mediterranean from 1694 to 1695 and was created Baron Shingey, Viscount Barfleur, and Earl of Orford in 1697.

Edward Russell, earl of Orford (1652-1727), naval officer. In 1671, Russell was made lieutenant at the age of eighteen. He was promoted to captain in the following year. In the third Anglo-Dutch War he saw active service in the North Sea, before serving in the Mediterranean with Sir John Narborough and Arthur Herbert from 1676 to 1682. He served on the Tangier station in 1680 (it was then a British possession) and acquired a substantial fortune through illicit trading. This fortune was believed by Pepys to have been the reason why Russell resigned his command in 1683 after the discovery of the Rye House Plot. In 1688, Russell was one of the Immortal Seven, a group of English noblemen who issued the invitation to William of Orange to depose King James II.
