A sculpture of Pauline Bonaparte, portrayed as Venus, reclining in a triclinium, seen from the back. Pauline Bonaparte (1780-1825) was the second sister of Napoleon Bonaparte. After her first marriage ended with the death of her husband, she married Camillo Borghese. Anotnio Canova's sculpture was commissioned by Camillo in 1805 for his wife, who was originally to be portrayed as the chaste goddess Diana.

[Samuel Whitbread.]
[Engraved by S.W. Reynolds after James Northcote.]
[n.d., c.1815.]
Mezzotint, proof before letters. 630 x 355mm (24¾ x 14"). Framed. Lettered in pencil. Trimmed to plate, laid on album paper. Mounted over paper edge.
Full length portrait of Samuel Whitbread (1756-1815), politician and brewer, shown with a bust of Fox, the Bill of Rights and a Magna Charta scroll. Whitbread was a friend and early patron of the engraver, Samuel William Reynolds. This mezzotint comes from an album belonging to the Northcote family and is the only example we can trace. Probably the plate was never published, shelved by the family after Whitbread's messy suicide. A lithographed version by Samuel Cecil was published by Ackermann in 1831. The painting hangs in Bedford Magistrates' Court.
Not in CS or Whitman. Ex: Collection of The Hon. C. Lennox-Boyd.

London, Published by Geo.e Wilson, 17th March, 1821.

George Wilson (1766-1839), known as the 'Blackheath Pedestrian' for his attempt to walk a thousand miles around the heath in 20 days for a prize of £100. He failed because the authorities charged him with disturbing the peace because of the crowds that followed him. Although he was acquitted his arrest made the feat impossible, so he lost the prize, but a collection at the London Stock Exchange matched the £100 within two hours.
