Sir James Turner (1615-c.1686), Scottish professional soldier who fought for the Swedes in the invasion of Bavaria in 1632 and the Thirty Years' War, and both the Scottish Covenanting army and the Royalists during the Civil War. After the Restoration, promoted to general, he helped supress the Lowland Covenanters, provoking the Pentland Uprising in 1666, during which he was captured at Dumfries. Often threatened with execution, he survived, perhaps because his captors knew he had been criticised for leniency by his superiors. This portrait was published as the frontispiece portrait to his 'Pallas Armata', essays on classical and modern warfare.

A detailed view of the front and side facades of the Siena Cathedral, a medieval church in Siena, Tuscany. The cathedral itself was originally designed and completed between 1215 and 1263 on the site of an earlier structure by Giovanni Pisano, who was able to oversee his work until about 1296 when he abruptly left Siena, reportedly over creative differences with the Opera del Duomo, the group that oversaw the construction and maintenance of the Siena cathedrals. The church has the form of a Latin cross with a slightly projecting transept, a dome and a bell tower. The areas around and above the doors, as well as the columns between the portals, are richly decorated with acanthus scrolls, allegorical figures and biblical scenes, which can be seen in the centre.

Drawing for Twelfthcake at S.t Annes Hill!! N.o X.
[Isaac Cruikshank]
[ n.d. c. after 1799]
Finely hand coloured etching, sheet 175 x 130mm (7 x 9"). Trimmed within plate. Some surface dirt.
A reduced copy of Isaac Cruikshank's satire on the supposed Jacobin sentiments of the Opposition. The host of the Twelfth Night celebration, Charles James Fox (1749-1806), stands behind a table on which is a large Twelfth-cake decorated with trees of Liberty and crowned by a bonnet-rouge. He and all his guests are inspecting the tickets they have drawn from a bonnet-rouge full of papers which lies on the corner of the table opposite Richard Brinsley Sheridan (1751-1816). Fox delightedly holds out his ticket, 'Perpetual Dictator'. The others are: George Tierney (1761-1830), his ticket 'A Nabob'; then Francis Rawdon Hastings, 1st Marquess of Hastings and 2nd Earl of Moira (1754-1826), 'The Irish Hoaxter'; Francis Russell, 5th Duke of Bedford (1765-1802), seated, 'Collector of Taxes', Charles Howard, 11th Duke of Norfolk (1746-1815), on Fox's right, 'Perpetual Toast Master'; Right Hon Michael Angelo Taylor (1757-1834), very small and wearing a bonnet-rouge, his ticket inscribed 'Go to Roost'; Thomas Erskine, 1st Baron Erskine (1750-1823), on Fox's right, 'Soliciter General'; Sir Francis Burdett, 5th Baronet (1770-1844), 'Keeper of the Prison in Cold Bath Fields', Richard Brinsley Sheridan (1751-1816), seated, 'First Lord of the Treasury', and who is thought to be George Byng (1764-1847) M.P. for Middlesex, looking nearsightedly at 'Bastile Jervise'. On the wall is a placard: 'Rules to be observed at this Meeting 1 That the Cake be decorate with appropriate insignia 2 That the tickets be deposited in a Bonnet Rouge and drawn in Rotation 3 That the Old Fashioned Game of King and Queen be exploded & Catch as Catch can Substituted in its stead.'
