[George Shuckburgh-Evelyn] French Habits No. 8. Membre de la Haute Cour de Justice.
J.s. G.y [James Gillray.] d. & f.
Pub.d May 15th 1798 by H.Humphrey, 27 St James's Street.
Etching 265 x 205mm (10½ x 8"), watermarked 'J Whatman Turkey Mill', date lost. Narrow margins.
Sir George Augustus William Shuckburgh-Evelyn (1751-1804), M.P. for Warwickshire, in the white cap and robe with tricolour border (not obvious in this uncoloured impression) of a Judge of the High Court. The cushioned bench behind indicates the setting as the House of Commons. He never took part in debates, but by voting in the minority against the 'Assessed Taxes Bill' of 1798 (introduced by Pitt to pay for the Napoleonic War) earned this caricature: he is shown in the costume of a High Court judge, for which he obviously does not have the stature.

Rare lithograph. Printed area 150 x 180mm (6 x 7"), with large margins. Foxing.
Tuna fishing in the Strait of Messina, which separates mainland Italy from Sicily. The printmaker, Mary Anne Theresa Whitby (1784-1850), was married to Captain John Whitby, flag captain for Admiral Sir William Cornwallis. They lived on the admiral's estate, Newlands: after John's death in 1806, Mary stayed on, spending much of her time with Cornwallis, who left his estate to her on his death in 1819. Being a keen amateur lithographer, Whitby established a private press at Newlands, but she is better remembered for the first successful sericulture (silk production) to England after three centuries of attempts, presenting twenty yards of damask to Queen Victoria in 1844. She performed genetic experiments on her silkworms for Charles Darwin, who published her results in his 'The Variation of Animals and Plants Under Domestication' (1868).

The Temple of Hera, built around 550 BC by Greek colonists, is the oldest surviving temple in Paestum. Paestum is the classical Roman name of a major Graeco-Roman city in the Campania region of southern Italy. Plate 12 to Chapter 6 of William Wilkins's (1778 - 1839) 'The Antiquities of Magna Graecia', Cambridge, 1807. Magna Graecia (Latin for "Greater Greece") is the name of the area in Southern Italy and Sicily that was colonised by Greek settlers in the eighth century BCE. Wilkins was an architect and one of the leading figures in the English Greek Revival of the early 1800s. On his tour of the classical antiquities of the Mediterranean he was accompanied by the Italian landscape painter Agostino Aglio, who had been commissioned by Wilkins as draughtsman on the expedition. Aglio supplied the drawings for the monument illustrations in Wilkins' folio volume. In 1837 Wilkins became Professor of Architecture at the Royal Academy in succession to Sir John Soane.
