Thomas Bruce (1656-1741), 2nd Earl of Ailesbury, a prominent Jacobite during the 1690s.

In 1693 he undertook a secret mission to France to discuss a possible renewal of plans for a naval expedition, and was granted an audience with Louis XIV. Arrested in 1695-6 he spent a year in the Tower of London before being released on bail of £10,000 and allowed to leave for Brussels, where he spent the rest of his life. His memoirs, which were not published until 1890, are a valuable source for the history of the period.

John Drummond, styled first earl of Melfort and Jacobite first duke of Melfort (1649-1714), politician. Appointed a secretary for Scotland (where he was given estates) in 1684, Melfort's close association with James II led to him becoming the king's principal secretary of state and accompanying him to Ireland following the invasion of William of Orange in 1688. He was then sent to Rome as an ambassador to try and secure the support of the papacy for a Jacobite invasion, although his position was undermined by the Abbé Renaudot, an agent used by the French, whose intrigues led to Louis XIV asking James II to dismiss Melfort. Watercolour after a portrait by Kneller, by George Perfect Harding (1779/80-1853), miniature painter. Harding devoted himself to producing minute copies in watercolour of works of historical and antiquarian interest. Examples of his work are in several major British institutions.

De Largilliere Pinxit. Edelinck Sculpsit Cum Pr. Regis 1692.
Engraving, sheet 430 x 315mm (17¼ x 12¾"). Trimmed within plate; repaired vertical fold; hardly visible from front.
James Francis Edward Stuart, the 'Old Pretender' (1688-1766), Jacobite claimant to the thrones of England, Scotland and Ireland, in the feminine dress style of the period, wearing a feathered hat and Garter. As the son of James II, his birth raised the prospect of a catholic succession and so sparked the 'Glorious Revolution' that forced his father into exile. James was raised in the court of his exiled father at Saint Germain-en-Laye in France (hence the French artist and printmaker responsible for this print). As James III of England and Ireland and James VIII of Scotland, he claimed the English, Scottish and Irish thrones from the death of his father in 1701, when he was proclaimed king of England, Scotland and Ireland by his cousin Louis XIV of France. Following his death in 1766 he was succeeded by his son Charles Edward Stuart in the Jacobite Succession. Engraved by French printmaker Gérard Edelinck (1640-1707), a specialist in portraits who reproduced many works by artists such as Hyacinthe Rigaud and Nicolas de Largillière, and is considered one of the greatest engravers of the 17th century. This portrait was by Largillière, who worked in London before returning to Paris to flee anti-Catholic persecution in England. He also painted James II and his wife Mary of Modena.

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."

[George Perfect Harding, c.1801]
Watercolour and wash, 165 x 115mm (6½ x 4½").
Probably Charles Wogan [Jacobite Sir Charles Wogan, first baronet] (c.1685-1754), Jacobite soldier and agent. Wogan left his native Ireland in around 1712, moving to England (he was a friend of the poet Alexander Pope and later corresponded with Jonathan Swift), where he dedicated himself to Jacobite restoration. Charged with treason in 1715, he escaped from Newgate prison prior to his trial and made his way to the continent. There he met the Pretender, James Francis Edward Stuart [James III] and was involved with the selection of Maria Sobieska as a suitable bride for him. Frustrated by the exiled Jacobite court, Wogan made his way to Spain where he acted as an unofficial Jacobite ambassador and acquired some influence at the Spanish court. In 1733 he won distinction for his defence of the fortress of Santa Cruz near Oran in Algeria, and the following year he was appointed governor of La Mancha. Watercolour by George Perfect Harding (1779/80-1853), miniature painter. Harding devoted himself to producing minute copies in watercolour of works of historical and antiquarian interest. Examples of his work are in several major British institutions.
