George-Nugent-Temple-Grenville, Marquis of Buckingham, Lord Lieutenant General & General Governor of the Kingdom of Ireland; Knigh Companion of the most Nobles Order of the Garter, &c. &c.
Painted by T. Gainsborough R:A: 1787. Engraved by J.K. Sherwin Historical Engraver to His Majesty, & to His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales.
London Published 20 March 1788 by I.K. Sherwin No. 67 New Bond Street, & R. Wilkinson No. 58 Cornhill.
Very fine engraving, with large margins. Plate 495 x 361mm. 19½ x 14¼". Uncut.
Three-quarter portrait of George Nugent-Temple-Grenville (1753-1813), 1st Marquess of Buckingham. As Lord Lieutenant of Ireland under Pitt, he was denounced by Grattan for extravagance and was censured by the Irish Houses of Parliament for refusing to transmit to England an address calling upon the Prince of Wales to assume the regency. He maintained his position by bribery for a time but resigned his office in September 1789. The engraver, John Keyes Sherwin (1751-1790), was a painter and engraver who succeeded Woollett as engraver to the king in 1785. Despite an income of more that £12,000 a year he died in penury in 1790 because, as the Encyclopedia Britannia describes him, he was "shiftless, indolent, and without method" and a reckless gambler. However the Encyclopedia also states that his portraits of Buckingham and Pitt (both after Gainsborough) "occupy a high place among the productions of the English school of line-engravers".

Portrait of Henry John Temple, 3rd Viscount Palmerston (1784-1865), politician who served twice as Prime Minister. He was in government office almost continuously from 1807 until his death in 1865, beginning his parliamentary career as a Tory and concluding it as a Liberal. He served successively as: Secretary at War (1809-28); Foreign Secretary (1830-41 and 1846-51); Home Secretary (1853-5) and Prime Minister (1855-8 and 1859-65). He is best remembered for his direction of British foreign policy through a period when the United Kingdom was at the height of its colonial power. His vigorous policy of intervention, often controversial at the time, made him one of the greatest Victorian statesman and among the most powerful figures in European politics.

William Pitt when he joined the government of Lord Shelburne as Chancellor of the Exchequer and was appointed a member of the Privy Council. He became the youngest Prime Minister in 1783 at the age of 24. Following the impact of the American Revolution on the Fox-North coalition, Pitt took advantage of this to secure his administration, and began to enact his agenda. His first major piece of legislation as Prime Minister was the India Act 1784. The Regulating Act had been enacted to primarily weed-out corruption in the East India Company in the Bengal. This Act provided for the appointment of a board of control, and a joint government of the company on the crown. The governors of Bombay and Madras were deprived of their independence and given lesser authority in decision making. Calcutta was given great powers in matters of wat, revenue and diplomacy; thus becoming in effect the administrative capital of compnay possessions in India.

William Pitt the Younger (1759-1806), prime minister. In 1782, at the age of twenty-three, Pitt was appointed Chancellor of the Exchequer in the ministry of Lord Shelburne as Chancellor of the Exchequer. Shelburne resigned due to opposition from Charles James Fox and Lord North early in 1783, after which Pitt resigned, rejecting overtures to join forces with Fox and North. Following the impact of the American Revolution on the Fox-North coalition, Pitt took advantage of this to secure his administration, and began to enact his agenda. Later that year he became the youngest ever Prime Minister in 1783 at the age of 24. Engraving after a portrait by William Owen (1769-1825), whose sitters also included Lord Grenville and Sir John Soane, many of whose paintings of rustic subjects also became popular engraving. Owen was made portrait painter to the prince of Wales in 1810 but met an unfortunate end, dying of poisoning after a chemist's assistant mistakenly gave him a bottle of opium instead of the correct medication.
