Full length portrait of Samuel Whitbread (1756-1815), politician and brewer, shown with a bust of Fox, the Bill of Rights and a Magna Charta scroll. Whitbread was a friend and early patron of the engraver, Samuel William Reynolds. This mezzotint comes from an album belonging to the Northcote family and is the only example we can trace.

The painting hangs in Bedford Magistrates' Court.

[Figure next to a structure.]
[Probably by Mary Anne Theresa Whitby, c.1820s]
Rare lithograph. 95 x 135mm (3¾ x 5¼).
Scene, probably inspired by travels in Sardinia by Mary Anne Theresa Whitby (1784-1850). The printmaker, Mary Anne Theresa Whitby (1784-1850), was married to Captain John Whitby, flag captain for Admiral Sir William Cornwallis. They lived on the admiral's estate, Newlands: after John's death in 1806, Mary stayed on, spending much of her time with Cornwallis, who left his estate to her on his death in 1819. Being a keen amateur lithographer, Whitby established a private press at Newlands, but she is better remembered for the first successful sericulture (silk production) to England after three centuries of attempts, presenting twenty yards of damask to Queen Victoria in 1844. She performed genetic experiments on her silkworms for Charles Darwin, who published her results in his 'The Variation of Animals and Plants Under Domestication' (1868).

Published by Tho.s McLean, Haymarket Dec.r 30.th 1830.
Lithograph. Printed area 270 x 325mm (10½ x 12¾"), with large margins.
Three men stand in discussion by the fireplace of White's Club, although all are dressed for outside, with top hats. One says ''Of course vested Interest's will be respected, to which another replies ''How! no such thing as vesated Interests in our days''. Another man, seated reading a newspaper, eavesdrops and says ''That is one of S-ft-n's perculiar hits! agad! I'll send it as a hint to HB''. According to McLean's 'Illustrative Key to the Political Sketches of H.B.' (1841): The subject of this conversation appears to be the Reform Bill, then the prominent topic of the day. The dress and figure of the Speaker, who observes that ''vested interests will of course be respected,'' sufficiently prove him, although his face is not seen, to be Sir Francis Burdett; the respondent is the late Earl of Sefton, a nobleman equally eminent for the good things which he said, and for those which he devoured. Though not conspicuous in Parliament, he was a very distinguished and influential member of the Whig party, of which it was sometimes alleged, by their opponents, that Lord Sefton's head contained more sense than the heads of all the rest of the party put together. This species of supremacy, some of his party might not be disposed to allow him; but his taste and judgment in gastronomy were universally admitted. The other figures in the sketch are not portraits.

Etching. 85 x 120mm (3¼ x 4¾"). Small margins.
A satirical armorial adopted by White's Club, with playing cards, dice, and an arm shaking a dice-box, within a claret bottle ticket held up by an old and young Knave of Clubs. The motto translates as 'Love of money drives them to it'. The satire was the result of a discussion on a wet day at Strawberry Hill, between Horace Walpole, George Williams and painter George Selwyn, intended as a satire on the 'the Old and Young Club' which met at Arthur's, in St James's Street. Walpole had it engraved by Charles Grignon. A carved wooden copy now hangs in White's. This version was engraved by Darly for 'A Political and Satirical History of the Years 1756, 1757, 1758, 1759, 1760, 1761, and 1762', a volume of political and social caricatures covering a pivotal period in the history of Great Britain and the Americas. The letterpress (not present here) describes it as 'The arms of two great Gamesters well known at Arthur's and the Cocoa-tree'.

Whitchurch is not only one of Shropshire's busiest and most beautiful market towns, but also one of the most history-packed towns in the Midlands. It's also the oldest continually inhabited town in Shropshire. The name Whitchurch comes from 'White Church'. The original Norman Church was built from white stone (thought to be local chalk). St Alkmunds, the featured church, was built on the same spot in 1712, using sandstone.
