The other three plates are a portrait of Shakespeare after Houbraken, his memorial in Holy Trinity Church at Stratford-upon-Avon and Scheemakers' 18th-century monument in Poets' Corner, Westminster Abbey. The Oxford University Press published a deluxe six-volume illustrated edition of Shakespeare, the first complete edition to be published outside London. The fine bindings and the quality of the illustrations made the edition very popular; however Sir Thomas Hanmer (1677-1746, a Speaker of the House of Commons) had edited the text (not present here) with his own conjectures, without indictating what he had changed. 'William Shakespeare: A Textual Companion' (1997) describes the edition as ''one of the worst in the eighteenth century''.

A satire on the plight of Fox, deserted by most of his party. Thurlow, Fox, and Sheridan as 'Caliban', 'Trinculo', and 'Stephano' in their stolen finery are driven off by ministerial hounds set on by 'Ariel' (Pitt) and 'Prospero' (George III). Thurlow (left) in Chancellor's wig and gown, holding up the mace, the purse of the Great Seal under his arm, runs first. He is worried by a dog, wearing legal wig and bands, who is Loughborough (his successor). Fox follows, wearing royal robes and holding the orb and sceptre, he looks over his left shoulder. Behind him, with a terrified expression, runs Sheridan wearing a long gown. Though not named, he is Stephano, the drunken butler. They are followed by three hounds with the heads of Mansfield, Windham, and Portland. [Mansfield is identified by E. Hawkins as Grenville, Portland as Dundas. The heads suggest the identifications in the text, which are consistent with an apparent intention to make the hounds converts from the Opposition.] Pitt and the King stand outside the door of the 'Treasury', an archway in a stone building. The King (right) as Prospero has a beard and belted robe with a hunting-cap; he holds a wand. Ariel (Pitt) hovers on the King's right, a lean naked figure with small wings and a wisp of drapery.

John Shanks. Cicerone of Elgin Cathedral.

Rare etching. Sheet 260 x 175mm (10¼ x 7"). Trimmed within plate, some cockling of paper.
Full-length sketch portrait of John Shanks (c.1759-1841), an Elgin shoemaker who was paid by a local gentleman to clear the derelict Elgin Cathedral of rubbish. According to an obituary in the Inverness Courier ''he removed, with his pick-axe and shovel, 2866 barrowfuls of earth, besides disclosing a flight of steps that led to the grand gateway of the edifice. Tombs and figures, which had long lain hid in obscurity, were unearthed and every monumental fragment of saints and holy men was carefully preserved, and placed in some appropriate situation ... So faithfully did he discharge his duty as keeper of the ruins, that little now remains but to preserve what he accomplished''. Shanks was officially appointed the site's Keeper and Watchman in 1826.
