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. In the subsequent War of the Grand Alliance, Russell served at sea, commanding a fleet after 1690.

Francis Duke of Bedford
Drawn by J. Lonsdale from the Original Bust by J. Nollekens Esq.r R.A. Exhibited at the Royal Academy 1802, Engraved by L. Sailliar.
Published Jan.y 12 1802 by Charlotte Brydon No 4 Charing Cross
Very rare stipple, platemark 285 x 240mm (11¼ x 9½"). Small margins. Glued to backing sheet.
Francis Russell, fifth duke of Bedford (1765-1802), agriculturalist and politician. Bedford became known as a leading promoter of agricultural development. He was an original member of the board of agriculture set up in 1793, and the first president of the Smithfield Club in 1798, while he also instituted the annual agricultural fair at Woburn. Russell was also an ambitious urban developer, and used his 119 acres of land around London's West End to develop much of the Bloomsbury estate (including Bedford Square, Russell Square, and Bloomsbury Square). After Russell's death a statue was erected in Russell Square, showing Russell with one hand resting on a plough and the other holding ears of corn. Stipple after one of the three busts of Russell sculpted by Joseph Nollekens (1737-1823), whose many portrait busts make up a visual record of the personalities of late Georgian Britain.

Pub.d Feb.y 3.d 1796 by H Humphrey New Bond Street.
Etching with aquatint, sheet 245 x 355mm (9¾ x 14") Trimmed within plate/to plate on three sides.
Francis Russell, 5th Duke of Bedford (1765 – 1802), as a farmer, scatters guineas from a pouch slung to his shoulder. As he sows the tips of bonnets-rouges and spikes sprout up; behind him they progressively emerge more completely, and appear as little Jacobins, a raised dagger in each hand, crowding in close ranks towards the horizon, where they hail (or are smitten by) thunderbolts which dart from clouds in the upper left corner of the design and explode on reaching the ground. The soil is prepared by Richard Brinsley Sheridan (1751-1816) and James Maitland, 8th Earl of Lauderdale (1759-1839): a bull (John Bull) is harnessed to a plough which is guided by Sheridan wearing a bonnet-rouge and Lauderdale raises a whip to flog the weary bull.. Fox's smiling face is the centre of a sun which issues from clouds and shines on Bedford. Bedford was an ardent supporter of Fox and a friend of Lauderdale; for his lavish expenditure for party purposes. Bedford was a great agriculturist and an original member of the Board of Agriculture

Caricature of John Russell (1792-1878), former prime minister, as a crowing cockerel standing on a scroll titled 'Alabama Claims'. In 1862, during the American Civil War, Foreign Secretary Russell allowed 'Alabama', a warship built by John Laird, to leave Birkenhead to join the Confederate navy, despite complaints from the Federal legation in London. Within two years she had taken over sixty Federal prizes before being sunk off the coast of France. In 1869 the US brought a claim for damages against Britain, seeking compensation for the damage done by ships built in this country. The original demand was for either $2 billion or the ceding of Canada to the United States but, after international arbitration, the case. was settled for $15.5 million. Despite admitting the release of the ship was a mistake, Russell obstinately refused to accept Britain should pay damages.

William Russell (1740-1818) was a practising Unitarian Dissenter, close friend and sponsor of Joseph Priestley. Rioters therefore attacked his house, on 16th July 1791, during the Priestley Riots, the Birmingham Riots of 1791, which targeted religious Dissenters, most notably the politically and theologically controversial Joseph Priestley. From "Views of the Ruins of the Principal Houses destroyed during the Riots at Birmingham. 1791." On the 14th of July, 1791, a party having met at an hotel to celebrate the anniversary of the French revolution, collected together as a mob, and proceeded for several days their devastations, setting fire to several meeting-houses and private mansions, but on the arrival of the military from Oxford and Hounslow, order was restored: at the ensuing assizes four of the ring-leaders were convicted, two of whom suffered the penalty of the law. Shortly after this occurrence barracks were erected on the Vauxhall-road, near the town, consisting of a range of handsome buildings, enclosing a spacious area for the exercise of cavalry, and a smaller for parades, a riding-school, a magazine, and an hospital.
