The Young Politicians. 112
[after Abraham Bloemaert.]
Printed for Carington Bowles, No. 69 in St Pauls Church Yard London. [n.d., c.1762.]
Mezzotint, platemark 145 x 115mm (5¾ x 4½"). Trimmed to plate. Small tear top left
Two boys consult No. 45 of 'The North Briton' (the political weekly founded in 1762 to attack the ministry of George III's Scottish favourite, Lord Bute). This issue of the magazine is particularly famous as it spawned a number of court cases and led to '45' becoming a popular slogan for liberty in the 18th century. In this issue, Wilkes criticized a speech made by George III following the Treaty of Paris which ended the Seven Years' War. After Wilkes was arrested and the paper seized, he challenged the decision and won his case. His courtroom speeches started the 'Wilkes and Liberty' cry. This print in fact derives from a 17th century composition by Abraham Bloemaert of two boys singing from a songsheet!

John Young, councellor to King Kamehameha of Hawaii. Young was born in Crosley, England, in 1744. He sailed in the winter of 1789-90 from New York to the Hawaiian Islands on the Eleanora, under Capt. Simon Metcalfe. When the Eleanora arrived at Hawaii, Young went ashore to explore the countryside, armed with a musket and a sword. There, he was taken captive by Kamehameha. He remained in Hawaii and became one of the king's most trusted advisors, living to the age of 91. His descendants all had the blood of chiefs flowing in their veins, for his wives were women of high rank. Plate to 'Souvenirs d'un aveugle (blind man)' by Jacques Etienne Victor Arago (1790 - 1855). A French writer, artist and explorer, Arago joined Louis de Freycinet on his 1817 voyage around the world aboard the ship Uranie, which inspired his witty 'Voyage autour du monde'. Although he lost his sight in 1837, he went on travelling and writing for the theatre.

Mezzotint with fine hand colour. 350 x 250mm (13¾ x 9¾"). Cut inside platemark at bottom.
An old fruit seller sits asleep beside a table on which her apples and strawberries are arranged, with baskets under the table, her dog sleeping beside her.
