Very rare mezzotint, plate 150 x 115mm (6 x 4½"), large margins. Some toning to the paper.
A portrait of General James Wolfe (1727 - 1759), half-length, in profile to the left against a background of clouds. He rests his left hand on his hip and his other arm extended slightly. Wearing a powdered tie-wig, a military frockcoat over a cuirass with a black stock, a ribbon tied about his left arm and his cuffs edged with gold lace. Wolfe was a British Army officer, remembered chiefly for his victory over the French at the Battle of Quebec in Canada in 1759. The son of a distinguished general, Lieutenant-General Edward Wolfe, he had received his first commission at a young age and saw extensive service in Europe where he fought during the War of the Austrian Succession. His service in Flanders and in Scotland, where he took part in the suppression of the Jacobite Rebellion, brought him to the attention of his superiors. Wolfe's part in the taking of Quebec in 1759 earned him posthumous fame and he became an icon of Britain's victory in the Seven Years War and subsequent territorial expansion.

Pub.d at R. Ackermann's 1822.
Engraving. 202 x 159mm. 8 x 6¼". Soiling and crease to upper left corner; some tiny holes.
A map indicating the Wolof concentration in Senegal, with overlaps into Gambia and Mauritania. The Wolof community belonged to the medieval West African state of the Wolof Empire that ruled between 1350 and 1890. Their demise was at the hands of the French colonial forces in the 1870s, whih also maked the beginning of the formation of Senegal as a unified state. By the end of the 15th century, the Wolof states of Jolof, Kayor, Baol and Walo had become united in a federation with Jolof as the metropolitan power. The position of king was held by the Burba Wolof and the rulers of the other component states owed loyalty to him while being allowed local sovereignty in internal state matters. Saloum and Sine were later brought within the union. Before they became involved in trading with the Portuguese merchants on the coast, the Wolof people enjoyed the benefits of long established trading and cultural ties with the Western Sudanese empires and had also benefited from trading with Futa Toro and the Berbers from North Africa. Through these early trading links and organisation the Wolof states grew wealthy and had formidable strength.

Cardinal Thomas Wolsey (c.1475-1530) almoner to King Henry VIII, and by 1514 he had become the controlling figure in virtually all matters of state and was extremely powerful within the Church. When he was made cardinal in 1515, it ultimately gave him precedence even over the Archbishop of Canterbury. One of his main legacies was his interest in architecture, in particular his home of Hampton Court Palace.

[Cardinal Wolsey]
Anon. [After Holbein]
[c. 1750]
Etching 68 x 94mm. 2¾ x 3¾inches. On verso in old script: "Cardinal Wolsey - Given to me by Mr. Ashby Fellow of St.John's College Canbr. Dec:1769 W. Cole". Mounted into an album page.
Facing to right in Biretta and robe with buttons down front. Wolsey was a cardinal and statesman, Henry VIII's lord chancellor and one of the last churchmen to play a dominant role in English political life. Wolsey's unparalleled position of trust with the King began to break down in the late 1520s but before he fell from favour Henry VIII stripped him of all his assets in the south of England, including the Archbishop's town house, York Place. Of the Cardinal's possessions York Place was the most important to the King, because the old royal palace at Westminster had been largely destroyed by fire in 1512 and Henry had been staying at Lambeth Palace as a substitute. The acquisition of York Place, renamed Whitehall, meant that the monarchy once more had an appropriate residence in Westminster. A drawing by Andrew Benjamin Lens [BM:Prints & Drawings.Regi. No.Gg,1.410] recorded as after Holbein is the same subject as ref: 13736 & 13737.

[Cardinal Wolsey.]
[Cardinal Wolsey.]
[After Hans Holbein]
[n.d. c.1750.]
Mezzotint 90 x 120mm, 3½ x 4½inches. Mounted into an album page.
Facing to right in biretta and robe with buttons down front. Wolsey was a cardinal and statesman, Henry VIII's lord chancellor and one of the last churchmen to play a dominant role in English political life. Wolsey's unparalleled position of trust with the King began to break down in the late 1520s but before he fell from favour Henry VIII stripped him of all his assets in the south of England, including the Archbishop's town house, York Place. Of the Cardinal's possessions York Place was the most important to the King, because the old royal palace at Westminster had been largely destroyed by fire in 1512 and Henry had been staying at Lambeth Palace as a substitute. The acquisition of York Place, renamed Whitehall, meant that the monarchy once more had an appropriate residence in Westminster. A drawing by Andrew Benjamin Lens [BM:Prints & Drawings.Regi. No.Gg,1.410] recorded as after Holbein is the same subject as ref: 13736 & 13737.
