[1660]
Engraving with accompanying letterpress sheet, each 470 x 350mm (18½ x 13¾"), with very large margins. Foxed.
Francis de Bonne, Duke of Lesdiguieres (1543-1626), one of the greatest generals of his age. A protestant who came of age during the French Wars of Religion, Lesdiguieres distinguished himself both in France and in the ongoing wars in Italy. From 'Les Portraits des Hommes Illustres Francois qui sont Peints dans la Galerie du Palais Cardinal de Richelieu' (1660). The book reproduces the portraits of great men hanging in Richelieu's 'Galerie des hommes illustres' by Simon Vouet and Philippe de Champaigne (although only four of the original paintings survive). The final 'illustrious figure' was Richelieu himself.

Bishop Bonner.
[n..d, c.1800.]
Engraving. Sheet 80 x 155mm (7 x 10"). Trimmed, laid on album paper.
A half-length satirical portrait in oval of Edmund Bonner (c. 1500-1569), Bishop of London 1539-49 and 1553-59, raising a willow switch above his head. This image is a detail from a scene of him punishing a heretic from 'Foxe's Book of Martyrs' (1563). Bonner originally supported Henry VIII's schism from Rome but, in the reign of Edward VI, opposed the king's role as head of the Church, for which he was removed from office and imprisoned in the Marshalsea, a prison in Southwark. He was restored by Mary I and began persecuting Protestants, earning the nickname 'Bloody Bonner'. Elizabeth sent him back to the Marshalsea in 1560, where he remained until he died.
Not recorded in Clayton, perhaps a connection to James Gillray.
