[Three drawings of the coffin of Elizabeth Stuart, daughter of Charles I]
[Three drawings of the coffin of Elizabeth Stuart, daughter of Charles I]
Three drawings, one pen and ink with hand colouring (285 x 215mm, 11¼ x 8½") and the other pencil and watercolour (280 x 465mm, 11 x 18¼"); watermark I. Taylor.
Three drawings of the coffin of Elizabeth Stuart (1635-50), second daughter of Charles I and Henrietta Maria. One shows the coffin from above and from the side (with section of the vault in which it was placed, and its length indicated); the other is a brass rubbing of the inscription on the top: 'Elizabeth 2d. Daughter of ye Late King Charles Deced Sept. 8th. MDCL.'. After the execution of Charles I, Elizabeth and her younger brother Henry went to live in Penshurst in Kent, but after Elizabeth's brother Charles (the future Charles II) landed in Scotland to assume the throne, parliament resolved to transport Elizabeth and Henry 'out of the limits of the Commonwealth'. They were temporarily lodged in Carisbrooke Castle on the Isle of Wight (despite Elizabeth's protestations that her health made transporting her inadvisable), where she died soon after arriving. She was buried in a small vault near the communion table in St Thomas's Church at Newport.

[John Stuart, 3rd Earl of Bute] The Cat's Paw.
[n.d., c.1766.]
Etching. 250 x 355mm (9¾ x 14"). Small margins.
A satire on William Pitt's return to office in 1766: The Earl of Bute, depicted as a monkey, uses the paw of the Earl of Chatham (a cat) to extract chestnuts from a fire, with Chatham urinating in fear. Their respective supporters stand under paintings 'A View of Chatham' and 'A View of the Isle of Bute'. John Stuart, 3rd Earl of Bute (1713 - 1792), was a Scottish nobleman who served as Prime Minister under George III, and was arguably the last important favourite in British politics. Bute was initially a favourite of the king, but George turned against him after being criticised for an official speech which the press recognised as Bute's own work. This print satirises Bute's political relationship with William Pitt, 1st Earl of Chatham (1708 - 1778).
