Brigadier Gen.l Arnold.
Engraved for the Universal Magazine.
[London, 1781.]
Engraving. 190 x 115mm (7¼ x 4½").
Brigadier General Benedict Arnold served in the American Army during the Revolution. In 1780 Arnold successfully lobbied for command of West Point on the Hudson River. Working through André, he came to an agreement in August to surrender the post to the British. Meeting on September 21, Arnold and André sealed the deal. Departing the meeting, André was captured two days later as he returned to New York City. Learning of this on September 24, Arnold was forced to flee to HMS Vulture in the Hudson River as the plot was exposed. Remaining calm, Washington investigated the scope of betrayal and offered to exchange André for Arnold. This was refused and André was hung as a spy on October 2. Receiving a commission as a brigadier general in the British Army, Arnold campaigned against American forces in Virginia later that year and in 1781. In his last major action of the war, he won the Battle of Groton Heights in Connecticut in September 1781. Effectively viewed as a traitor by both sides, he did not receive another command when the war ended despite lengthy efforts. Returning to life as a merchant he lived in Britain and Canada before his death in London on June 14, 1801.

General Burgoyne.
[n.d.,c.1780.]
Engraving. 120 x 90mm (4¾ x 3½"). Trimmed. Backed onto album paper. Very small mark on upper centre.
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.

Pub.d May 15th 1783 by R. Wilkinson No. 58 Cornhill London.
Stipple and etching pt printed in colour, platemark 140 x 105mm (5½ x 4"). Thread margins on 3 sides.
Silas Deane (1737-89), revolutionary politician and diplomat in America. Born in Connecticut, Deane graduated from Yale in 1758 and rose rapidly in Connecticut politics. He was an active member of congress and in 1776-8 was in France to solicit arms and supplies and seek support for an independent United States, a mission which had mixed results. He was regarded with suspicion by Benjamin Franklin and Arthur Lee, and on a return trip to Europe in 1780, by which time Deane was disillusioned with the American cause, he called for the Americans to abandon the French and reach a reconciliation with Great Britian. From this point on most Americans regarded Deane as a traitor, and he never returned to the country, living in Ghent and London before dying on a ship en route to Canada in 1789. Mixed-media print after Pierre Eugène Du Simitière (1737-84), American painter of Swiss birth. Based in Philadelphia from 1770-84, Du Simitière arranged for 14 of his profile portraits to be sent to Paris for engraving in 1779, although pirated copies and the failure of many sets to return to him made the project unsuccessful.

The Rev.d. Jon.th. Edwards Pres.t.
[n.d.,c.1758.]
Engraving. 130 x 85mm (5 x 3½"). Trimmed. Backed onto album paper. Some minor time-staining.
Portrait of Jonathan Edwards (1703 - 1758), American revivalist preacher, philosopher, and Congregationalist theologian. Edwards is widely regarded as one of America's most important and original philosophical theologians. Edwards' theological work is broad in scope but rooted in the paedobaptist (baptism of infants) Puritan heritage as exemplified in the Westminster and Savoy Confessions of Faith. Recent studies have emphasized how thoroughly Edwards grounded his life's work on conceptions of beauty, harmony, and ethical aptness, and how central the Age of Enlightenment was to his mindset. Edwards played a critical role in shaping the First Great Awakening and oversaw some of the first revivals in 1733-35 at his church in Northampton, Massachusetts. His work gave rise to a doctrine known as New England theology. Edwards delivered the sermon "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God", a classic of early American literature, during another revival in 1741, following George Whitefield's tour of the Thirteen Colonies. Edwards is well known for his many books, such as The End for Which God Created the World and The Life of David Brainerd, which inspired thousands of missionaries throughout the 19th century, and Religious Affections which many Calvinist Evangelicals still read today. Edwards died from a smallpox inoculation shortly after beginning the presidency at the College of New Jersey in Princeton.

B. Franklin of Philadelphia.
[After James McArdell engraved Benjamin Wilson.]
[n.d., c.1800's.]
Mezzotint, printed in colours and hand finished. Sheet 275 x 215mm (10¾ x 8½"). Trimmed within plate, losing part of title.
A three-quarter length portrait of Benjamin Franklin, holding his book on electricity, a lighting bolt hitting a village behind. We believe this is a 19th century later state of McArdell's mezzotint, without artist's and engraver's signatures and without the wart on Franklin's cheek. Possibly French.
