C. Jervas pinx. J. Simon fecit et ex.
Sold at the corner of Hemmings Row, in St. Martins Lane. London. [n.d. c.1720.]
Fine mezzotint. Mounted on an album page. Plate 352 x 252mm. 13¾ x 10". Very scarce. Cut and laid on sheet.
Philip Wharton, 1st Duke of Wharton (1698-1731), powerful Jacobite politician, notorious libertine and rake, profligate, and alcoholic, was one of the few people in English history, and the first since the 15th century, to have been raised to a Dukedom whilst still a minor and not closely related to the monarch. Young Wharton began to travel. He had been raised with an excellent education and prepared for a life as a public speaker, and Wharton was eloquent and witty. He travelled to France and Switzerland with a severe Calvinist tutor whom he resented. Wharton then went to Ireland where, at the age of 18, he entered the Irish House of Lords as Marquess Catherlough. When he was 19 years old he was created Duke of Wharton in 1718 by George I in the King's effort to solidify his support. His two periods of activity abroad were in 1716-17 and then after 1724. In England between 1723-4 he produced the 'True Briton', a Jacobite periodical. Pope calls him: "The scorn and wonder of our days."
From the Belton House Collection assembled in the 18th Century by the Rt. Hon. John Ld. Brownlow, Baron Charleville, & Viscount Tyrconnel in the Kingdom of Ireland. Ex: Collection of The Hon. C. Lenno

What About The Church? Protestant Electors, Do Not Be Deceived! Mr. Disraeli cannot save it, Mr Gladstone cannot hurt it, except so far as it is true or false to its own principles.... John Hampton, Hereford. September 1st, 1868.
John Hampden, Hereford. September 1st, 1868.
F.T. Hawkins, Printer, 13, High Street, Hereford. [1868.]
Letterpress broadside handbill, sheet 285 x 215mm. 11¼ x 8½".
An interesting piece of popular ephemera that reflects debates around the status of the Church of England in the build up to the 1868 general election. Some were arguing that it should be disestablished. The author here, apparently independent of both Liberal and Conservative official positions on the issue, exhorts voters in Hereford to sign up to his petition to the clergy. The 1868 election was the first after passage of the Reform Act 1867, which enfranchised many male householders, thus greatly increasing the number of men who could vote in elections in the United Kingdom. It was the first election held in the United Kingdom in which more than a million votes were cast. The result saw the Liberals, led by William Ewart Gladstone, again increase their large majority over Benjamin Disraeli's Conservatives to more than 100 seats.

A mythological scene in which a withered, snake-haired woman spins a figure wretched figure around a large wheel while a fire blazes near them and two further crones look on. The three old women are reminiscent of the Fates from ancient mythology, though with their snakes for hair they also resemble the hideous gorgons. The Wheel of Fortune was a medieval and ancient concept demonstrating the capricious nature of Fate, the wheel being spun at random by the goddess Fortuna affecting the lives of those attached. The Wheel of Fortune was also a medieval form of torture, the victim would be tied to a large wheel while a large fire would be set close enough to burn anyone tied to the wheel. The wheel would then be turned like a spit slowly cooking the captive.

Whirlwind on the Base Line in Zwartland, March 2nd. 1841.
[Anon., British, 1841.]
Pen and ink and grey wash, unique, sheet 115 x 170mm. 4½ x 6¾". Lacking some margin. Glue stains to extremities.
A surveying expedition is interrupted by bad weather in the Swartland, an area north of Cape Town, in the Western Cape province of South Africa. It lies between the towns of Malmesbury in the south, Darling in the west, Piketberg in the north and the Riebeek West and Riebeek Kasteel in the east. Members of the expedition rush to secure their tents against a fierce wind; a piece of surveyor's equipment can be glimpsed inside the large tent in the left foreground. An intriguing sketch, probably from a travel journal. The Dutch founder of Cape Town Jan van Riebeeck called this softly undulating country between the mountain ranges "Het Zwarte Land" (the Black Land) because of the endemic Renosterbos (Elytropappus rhinocerotis, or "Rhinoceros Bush"), a species of flowering plants in the daisy family.

[Samuel Whitbread.]
[Engraved by S.W. Reynolds after James Northcote.]
[n.d., c.1815.]
Mezzotint, proof before letters. 630 x 355mm (24¾ x 14"). Framed. Lettered in pencil. Trimmed to plate, laid on album paper. Mounted over paper edge.
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. Probably the plate was never published, shelved by the family after Whitbread's messy suicide. A lithographed version by Samuel Cecil was published by Ackermann in 1831. The painting hangs in Bedford Magistrates' Court.
Not in CS or Whitman. Ex: Collection of The Hon. C. Lennox-Boyd.
