London Publish'd Feb.y 14. 1788 by W. Palmer, No.163 Strand.
Stipple printed in red, proof before title. Plate 336 x 406mm. 13¼ x 16".
Vortigern was the Saxon King of Britain in 5 AD. He forged an alliance with brothers, Hengist and Horsa, who were given lands in Lincolshire in return for help in suppressing the Picts. The alliance was further enforced when King Vortigern fell in love with Renwein (or Rowena), the beautiful daughter of Hengist who agreed to their marriage in exchange for the whole of Kent. The scene captured here is clearly the banquet scene depicting the meeting of Vortigern and Rowena. The helmeted brooding figure of Hengist is seen seated on the left. Sometime later, in an attempt to bring all of Britain under Saxon control Vortigern arranged a meeting with Hengist, then King of the Jutes. However, Hengist armed his men who then massacred some 500 Saxon noblemen in an attack which became known as ‘the night of the long knives'

In all, eleven volumes were completed along with an atlas and several supplements holding over 1200 plates. Gavard served as the publisher, editor, and overseer of all the engraved plates.

Stipple with large margins. Plate 140 x 90mm (5½ x 3½").
Carl Bernhard Wadström (1746-1799), Swedish traveller and slavery abolitionist active in England. In 1787 King Gustaf III of Sweden sent an expedition under Wadström to Guinea to find a suitable location for a colony. In 1789 he publish 'Observations on the Slave Trade, and a Description of some part of the Coast of Guinea', with the purpose of “exposing to the world the atrocious acts committed in that part of the globe to which I have been eye-witness'. However he was vocal in his support of repatriation of poor blacks to Sierra Leone: in his 'An Essay on Colonization' (1794) he wrote 'it was necessary they should be sent somewhere, and be no longer suffered to invest the streets of London', showing a less charitable side. After the failure of a cotton factory in Manchester Wadström relocated to France, becoming a citizen and a leading member of the French abolition society, receiving a state funeral in 1799. The portrait was published in 'Allgemeine Geographische Ephemeriden' (Universal Geographical Ephemerides (i.e. encyclopedia)) by Friedrich Bertuch et al.

Sir Charles Wager (1666-1743) was a British Admiral and First Lord of the Admiralty between 1733 and 1742. He was grandson of John Wager, mariner of Rochester in Kent, and son of Charles Wager (1630-1666), captain in the Navy, and Prudence Goodsonn. He served chiefly in the Mediterranean, gaining promotion to captain in 1692 and rear-admiral in 1707. His most famous exploit, known as Wager's Action, was on 28 May 1708 aboard the Expedition, when he defeated and destroyed part of the Spanish treasure fleet at Cartagena, Colombia. This made him a wealthy man and he was knighted in 1709. He was promoted to admiral in 1731 and was also Treasurer of the Navy.
