Samuel Plimsoll [facsimile signature]
[Anon., c.1875]
Chromolithograph, rare; printed area approx. 205 x 190mm (8 x 7½").
Samuel Plimsoll (1824-98), politician and shipping reformer. An M.P. for Derby, Plimsoll's six-year campaign against overloaded 'coffin-ships' (over-insured and then deliberately overloaded in the hope of collecting insurance money) resulted in the 1876 Merchant Shipping Act. This introduced the 'Plimsoll Line', a load line reflecting a vessel's buoyancy. Plimsoll's name was also bestowed on the rubber-soled canvas shoes manufactured by the Liverpool Rubber Company in 1876: the company's salesman, Philip Lace, said that the shoes were water-tight as long as they were not immersed above the level of the band, and that this reminded him of the Plimsoll line.

Francis Rous or Rouse (1579-1659) was an English politician and a prominent Puritan. He was also Provost of Eton, and wrote several theological and devotional works. He took a leading part in Parliament: he was elected to Parliament for Cornwall in 1604 and 1656; for Truro 1626, 1640 and 1654; for Tregony 1628; and for Devon 1653. In the 1628 parliament he took part in the ferocious criticisms of Roger Mainwaring. In the Long Parliament Rous opened the debate on the legality of William Laud's new canons on 9 December 1640, and presented the articles of impeachment against John Cosin on 15 March 1641. When the Westminster Assembly was set up, 12 June 1643, he was nominated one of its lay assessors, and on 23 September 1643 he took the Solemn League and Covenant. He was chairman of the committee for ordination of ministers constituted on 2 October 1643 following, and a member of the committee of appeals appointed for the visitation of the University of Oxford on 1 May 1647. On 16 July 1648 he was sworn of the Derby House Committee. He was Speaker of the House during Barebone's Parliament of The Protectorate. In 1657 he offered a seat in Cromwell's House of Lords, but did not take it. He obtained many offices under the Commonwealth, among them that of provost of Eton College. At first a Presbyterian, he afterwards joined the Independents, in 1649. In early 1652 he served on the committee for propagation of the gospel, which framed an abortive scheme for a state church on a congregational plan. When Barebone's Parliament dissolved itself, Rous was sworn in on Oliver Cromwell's council of state. In 1654 he was on the committee for approbation of public preachers; he was also one of the committee appointed on 9 April 1656 to discuss the question of the kingship with Cromwell. He contributed works to various compilations, such as a sonnet and poems; although his main works where stand-alone theological papers and pamphlets. He was a versifier of the Psalms. His translation, with some modifications, was adopted by the Church and Parliament of Scotland for use in public worship, a position which it held almost exclusively until the middle of the 19th century. He was one of Cromwell’s peers and was called "the old illiterate Jew of Eton".

In the 1628 parliament he took part in the ferocious criticisms of Roger Mainwaring. In the Long Parliament Rous opened the debate on the legality of William Laud's new canons on 9 December 1640, and presented the articles of impeachment against John Cosin on 15 March 1641. When the Westminster Assembly was set up, 12 June 1643, he was nominated one of its lay assessors, and on 23 September 1643 he took the Solemn League and Covenant. He was chairman of the committee for ordination of ministers constituted on 2 October 1643 following, and a member of the committee of appeals appointed for the visitation of the University of Oxford on 1 May 1647. On 16 July 1648 he was sworn of the Derby House Committee. He was Speaker of the House during Barebone's Parliament of The Protectorate. In 1657 he offered a seat in Cromwell's House of Lords, but did not take it. He obtained many offices under the Commonwealth, among them that of provost of Eton College. At first a Presbyterian, he afterwards joined the Independents, in 1649. In early 1652 he served on the committee for propagation of the gospel, which framed an abortive scheme for a state church on a congregational plan. When Barebone's Parliament dissolved itself, Rous was sworn in on Oliver Cromwell's council of state. In 1654 he was on the committee for approbation of public preachers; he was also one of the committee appointed on 9 April 1656 to discuss the question of the kingship with Cromwell. He contributed works to various compilations, such as a sonnet and poems; although his main works where stand-alone theological papers and pamphlets. He was a versifier of the Psalms. His translation, with some modifications, was adopted by the Church and Parliament of Scotland for use in public worship, a position which it held almost exclusively until the middle of the 19th century. He was one of Cromwell’s peers and was called "the old illiterate Jew of Eton".

Sir Benjamin Rudyerd (1572-1658), Surveyor of the Court of Wards, politician and poet. Rudyerd was a minor poet and an influential member of Parliament. In 1618, as the lettering of the plate states, he was appointed to the lucrative sinecure of Surveyor of his Majesty's Court of Wards and Liveries. He was a close friend of the 3rd Earl of Pembroke, and the two conducted an exchange of poems that was edited by John Donne's son for publication in 1660. He retained his seat throughout the Civil War, and retired only in 1648. Mytens's portrait (now at Audley End) was painted in 1627, whereas this plate was engraved in 1632. Both dates are carefully specified on the print. The obvious explanation why this plate was made to such a large size and high standard is that it was a private plate, commissioned and owned by Rudyerd himself. If so, it must have been sold after his death to Peter Stent who reprinted it.

Sir Thomas Rumbold, 1st Baronet (1736-1791) was a British administrator of India who served as Governor of Madras from 1777 to 1780. He joined the East India Company's naval service as a writer at the age of 16, then transferred to the Company's military service. Promoted to Captain in 1757, he served as Clive's aide-de-camp at the Battle of Plassey. He subsequently transferred back to the Civil Service, becoming chief at Patna in 1763 and a member of the Bengal Council from 1766 to 1769; he was mentioned as a possible Governor of Bengal in 1771, but Warren Hastings was appointed. He was elected to Parliament in 1770, initially as MP for New Shoreham, a notoriously corrupt and expensive borough where he probably bribed extensively. At the next election, in 1774, Rumbold was embroiled in another election-bribery scandal at Shaftesbury: he and Sir Francis Sykes were initially declared elected, but their defeated opponent, petitioned to have the result overturned and produced copious evidence of corruption. In the meanwhile, Rumbold had been a director of the East India Company in 1772 and again from 1775 to 1777, and in June 1777 he was appointed Governor of Madras. During his governorship, British troops occupied Guntur (then French), which shortly afterwards was annexed to Madras, and also captured Pondicherry and Mahé. He was created a baronet in 1779. However, Sir Thomas was also responsible for negotiations with Haidar Ali, and was unable to dissuade him from invading the Carnatic or to prevent him from succeeding. He resigned the governorship for reasons of ill health in 1780, and was subsequently dismissed from the service of the company by the court of directors, who held him responsible for the Carnatic invasion and the Second Anglo-Mysore War. A parliamentary enquiry was also imminent, and he was anxious to be in the Commons to defend himself, but he had once more been unseated for electoral corruption and had to buy himself a seat at Yarmouth. Rumbold supported the establishment of a parliamentary committee of enquiry into the causes of the war in the Carnatic, and spoke repeatedly during the debates that followed. However, the committee did not call him to give evidence, and eventually passed a motion for his impeachment. He was alleged to have diverted a staggering £600,000 into his own pockets, and it was proved that he had been consistently remitting back to England sums three times as big as his salary. But Rumbold's defence was vigorous, no useful evidence to back the charges against him was forthcoming from India, and he was acquitted. Nevertheless, it seems to have been widely believed that he had bribed Henry Dundas and Richard Rigby, the members in charge of the proceedings against him.

William Scholefield (1809-1867), was a British businessman and Liberal politician. He was a leading figure in the politics behind the rapidly-growing industrial town of Birmingham. After the Reform Bill of 1832 there was a campaign launched later in 1837 to secure a charter of incorporation under the Municipal Corporations Act 1835 to create Birmingham a municipal borough with an elected town council. At that time the town was in the hands of a manorial court leet, presided over by a high bailiff. Scholefield became high bailiff in 1837 was very supportive of the campaign to incorporate Birmingham. After the act arrived in 1838, Scholefield was unaninimously chosen as first mayor of Birmingham after their first town council meeting. After returning to local government in 1847, having been defeated three years previously by a Conservative, Scholefield championed the expansion of popular democracy, free trade, and freedom of religion.

Mezzotint, rare; platemark 355 x 255mm (14 x 10"). Trimmed to platemark left and right; good impression; collector's stamp of Chritstopher-Lennox Boyd verso. Slight crease on left.
John Scott-Waring (1747-1819), agent of Warren Hastings. Scott met Hastings through his rising position in the Bengal army, and with controversy over his role in India increasing, Hastings sent Scott to England to act as his agent and defend his reputation in 1781. To this end, Scott wrote numerous pamphlets and secured a seat in parliament, but proved to be neither a skilled political writer nor an accomplished parliamentarian. When Hastings was acquitted in 1795 despite Scott's inadequacy, the agent presented him with a bill for £21,840. After the trial ended, he largely retired from political affairs, publishing only occasional pamphlets on Indian affairs and reputedly gathering a circle of wits, actresses, politicans and princes at his home in Parsons's Green, London. After the 1801 portrait by Chelsea-born portrait painter John James Masquerier (1778-1855).

Engraving. Platemark: 430 x 330mm (17 x 13"). Small margins. Repaired damage to revese in left margin.
William Smith (1756-1835) was a politician of great power and change. He was a friend and close associate of William Wilberforce and was at the forefront of many campaigns for social justice and prison reform but most notably was his campaign for the abolition of slavery. He was Member of Parliament for Suffolk and Norwich for some years but it was in 1787 that he acted as the first to campaign for the abolition for the slave trade. In 1790 he supported Wilberforce in the slave trade debate and once the trade had been halted he helped Zachary Macaulay in 1823 found the ‘London Society for the Abolition of Slavery in our Colonies’, thereby launching the next phase of the campaign to eradicate slavery. His involvement in the French Revolution was controversial, and he swiftly gained a reputation as a radical. He secretly arranged several meetings between William Pitt and Maret, Napoleon’s foreign minister, in a desperate attempt to avoid war.

Charles Spencer, 3rd Earl of Sunderland KG PC (1674-1722), known as Lord Spencer from 1688 to 1702, was an English statesman. He served as Lord Lieutenant of Ireland (1714-1717), Lord Privy Seal (1715-1716), Lord President of the Council (1717-1719) and First Lord of the Treasury (1718-1721). Having succeeded to the peerage in 1702, Sunderland was one of the commissioners for the union between England and Scotland, and in 1705, he was sent to Vienna as envoy extraordinary. Through the influence of Marlborough he was foisted into the ministry as Secretary of State for the Southern Department, taking office in December 1706. From 1708 to 1710, he was one of the five Whigs collectively called the Junto, who dominated the government. The bursting of the South Sea Bubble led to his political ruin. He had taken some part in launching the scheme of 1720, but he had not profited financially by it; however, public opinion was roused against him and it was only through the efforts of Walpole that he was acquitted by the House of Commons, when the matter was investigated. In April 1721, he resigned his offices, but he retained his influence with George I until his death on 19 April 1722.
