[Lady Sarah Bunbury.] Lady S-B, - habited as a Clergyman.
[n.d., c.1769.]
Etching with stipple. Sheet 160 x 190mm (6¼ x 7½"). Trimmed to printed border.
Lady Sarah Bunbury (née Lennox, 1745-1826), a society beauty, dressed in clerical robes and wig. A great-granddaughter of Charles II and daughter of Charles Lennox, 2nd Duke of Richmond and Lennox, she married Charles Bunbury in 1762 and an army officer, Hon. George Napier, in 1781. She was no stranger to scandal: she was a favourite of George III when still in her mid-teens and was divorced by Bunbury for adultery, having eloped and having an illegitimate daughter. However it is not known whether this portrait records an event or is a caricature.

Stipple. Proof before letters. Image 157 x 126mm. Image stuck onto separate sheet.
Richard Burbage (1568-1619) was an actor and theatre owner. Burbage was a popular actor by his early 20s. His early acting career is poorly documented. It has been suggested that it included a stint in the Earl of Leicester's company, but there is no good evidence for this. He probably was acting with the Admiral's Men in 1590, with Lord Strange's Men in 1592, and with the Earl of Pembroke's Men in 1593; but most famously he was the star of William Shakespeare's theatre company, the Lord Chamberlain's Men which mutated into the King's Men on the ascension of James I in 1603. He played the title role in the first performances of many of Shakespeare's plays, including Hamlet, Othello, Richard III and King Lear. But he was in great demand and also appeared in the plays of many of the great contemporary writers, such as Ben Jonson (the title role in Volpone, and Subtle in The Alchemist), John Marston (The Malcontent), John Webster (The Duchess of Malfi) and Beaumont & Fletcher (The Maid's Tragedy).

Hand-coloured etching. 250 x 350mm (9¾ x 13¾"). Large margins on 3 sides. Trimmed to plate at top.
John Bull, a fat 'cit', his hat and bludgeon beside him, reclines on his back against a grassy bank covered with roses. He looks up ecstatically to the sky where the profile head of Burdett is enclosed in a circle or sun inscribed 'Clarior e Tenebris'; this is irradiated, the rays illuminating a distant view of London and John himself. These passions set—and the great Patriot shines" The rays are inscribed: 'Magna Charta', 'King and Constitution', 'Loyalty', 'Reform', 'Good of the People', 'Integrity', 'Laws of the Land', 'Trial by Jury', 'Lords', 'Habea[s Corpus]', 'Liberty', 'Candour', 'Justice', 'Truth', 'Freedom of the Pr[ess]', 'Bill of Rights', 'Commons', 'Free Representation'. A circle of clouds is still not entirely dispersed by the rays: on the right they are over the Tower of London and on the left they surround three evil stars: 'Corrupti[on]', 'Imbe[cillity]', 'Democ[racy]'.

Portrait of General John Burgoyne (1722 - 1792) was a British general, dramatist and politician who sat in the House of Commons from 1761 to 1792. He first saw action during the Seven Years' War when he participated in several battles, most notably during the Portugal campaign of 1762. Burgoyne is best known for his role in the American Revolutionary War. He designed an invasion scheme and was appointed to command a force moving south from Canada to split away New England and end the rebellion. Burgoyne advanced from Canada but his slow movement allowed the Americans to concentrate their forces. Instead of coming to his aid according to the overall plan, the British Army in New York City moved south to capture Philadelphia.

Portrait of General John Burgoyne (1722 - 1792) was a British general, dramatist and politician who sat in the House of Commons from 1761 to 1792. He first saw action during the Seven Years' War when he participated in several battles, most notably during the Portugal campaign of 1762. Burgoyne is best known for his role in the American Revolutionary War. He designed an invasion scheme and was appointed to command a force moving south from Canada to split away New England and end the rebellion. Burgoyne advanced from Canada but his slow movement allowed the Americans to concentrate their forces. Instead of coming to his aid according to the overall plan, the British Army in New York City moved south to capture Philadelphia.

Edmund Burke, Esq.r
J. Chapman sculp.
London Published as the Act directs, Dec.r 15. 1798, by J. Wilkes.
Stipple, with large margins. Plate 165 x 114mm. 6½ x 4½". Very fine.
Edmund Burke (1729-1797) was an Anglo-Irish statesman, author, orator, political theorist and philosopher who served for many years in the House of Commons as a member of the Whig party. In the words of Winston Churchill he was 'perhaps the greatest man that Ireland has produced'. He is remembered for his support of the cause of the American Revolutionaries and for his later opposition to the French Revolution. He was thus seen as a leading figure within the conservative faction of the Whig parts, which he dubbed the "Old Whigs", in opposition to the pro-French-Revolution "New Whigs", led by Charles James Fox. best remembered for "A Philosophical Enquiry into the Origin of our Ideas of the Sublime and Beautiful" (1757) and "Reflections on the Revolution in France" (1790), a founding text for modern political conservatism; its reference to "the swinish multitude" was frequently quoted in radical contexts.

Pubd March 19th 1793, by H. Humphrey N 18, Old Bond Street.
Coloured etching. 350 x 250mm (13¾ x 9¾"), with large margins.
Edmund Burke at the door of the 'Crown & Anchor' tavern, wearing a skull-cap and long legal robe with a bag like that of the Great Seal, but with a skull at each corner. He writes ''Beware of N_rf_k!'' on his 'Black List' (Charles Howard, 11th Duke of Norfolk). A satire on the split in the Whig party on pro- and anti-revolutionary lines. The 'anti' 'Association for preserving Liberty and Property' was known as the Crown and Anchor Society because its head-quarters were in that building.

Etching with aquatint, sheet 165 x 150mm (6½ x 6"). Trimmed within plate.
One of several satires by Sayers targeting Burke’s rhetorical exageration. Burke (1729-97), depicted as a showman, operates a magic lantern projecting exaggerated images symbolizing the Benares and Begums charges (trial of Warren Hastings): a chained elephant labeled "A Benares Flea," stacked mountains called "A Begum Wart," floating weeping eyes as "Begums Tears," and a spouting whale dubbed "An Ouzle." Spectators applaud the spectacle, with one mistaking the whale for a weasel, echoing Polonius from Hamlet. India interest.

Burkeing the Constitution of E-g-d!!!!!
Pub.d. by J.Field 65 Quadrant.
Rare hand-coloued etching. 315 x 230mm, (12½ x 9"). Trimmed. Laid on album sheet.
Robert Peel and Wellington are depicted as murderers William Hare and William Burke smothering the allegorical figure of the British Constitution who lies upon a wooden bed. A Catholic priest linked arm-in-arm with a devil can be seen through a window. Burke and Hare commited several murders in Edinburgh in 1828 by smothering their victims, it is from their actions that the verb 'burking' came into use. The English constitution established in 1688 after the glorious Revolution and the overthrow of James II, had ended any chance of Catholicism being re-established in England, however, the introduction of the Catholic emancipation by Wellington is seen as destoying this.
