Arthur James Balfour, 1st Earl of Balfour (1848 - 1930), Prime Minister and philosopher. Balfour first made his mark as a philosopher, publishing A Defence of Philosophic Doubt in 1879.

During the First World War, he worked as First Lord of the Admiralty and, from 1916 to 1919, as Foreign Secretary. The Balfour Declaration of November 1917 gave British support to 'the establishment in Palestine of a home for the Jewish people'. Balfour continued in politics until the age of eighty: he had served for twenty-seven years as a member of the cabinet. The oil painting by Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema (1836 - 1912), exhibited 1891, is on display in the Dining Room at Bodelwyddan Castle n Denbighshire, North Wales.

The Right Honble. Iohn Barber Esqr. Lord Mayor of London in ye: year 1733.
[London: T. Cooper, 1741?]
Copper engraving, scarce frontispiece to 'The Life & Character of John Barber, Esq; late Lord-Mayor of London, deceased'. Sheet 210 x 150mm, 8¼ x 6". Trimmed to image.
The Prime Minister Robert Walpole was concerned to reduce the burden of the land tax and shift government revenues to other sources. "The excise scheme of 1733 promised revenues which would permit a permanent reduction of the land tax. The measure involved converting the customs duties on tobacco and wine into inland duties. It followed on other fiscal measures that moved in this direction, tea, chocolate, and coffee and then the year before salt. The opposition was intense and effective against the measure. Opponents revived longstanding criticisms of such measures: "Excise duties involved giving extensive powers of search to revenue officers, and a wide jurisdiction to magistrates and excise commissioners. Moreover, merchants and traders--both those engaged in circumventing the existing customs duties and those who paid them--disliked the prospect of dealing with "officious excisemen". When the City of London [John Barber] formally presented its petition against the excise on 10 April, 1733, Walpole's majority fell to seventeen. A Revolt in the Lords looked likely and on the following day Walpole announced the withdrawal of the excise scheme. John Barber (1676 - 1741), Lord Mayor of London, wearing a shoulder-length curly wig, white cravat, chain of office and a coat trimmed with fur. With his April 9th 1733 speech to the Common Council of Alderman inscribed below portrait. Reduced copy in reverse of the portrait engraved by Gerard Vandergucht (see 16630). After Bartholomew Dandridge (1691 - c.1754).

Etching on wove paper, 175 x 110mm. 7 x 4¼". A decent impression, with good margins. Faint staining to right side of plate.
Caricature of Isaac Barré (1726 - 1802), full face, standing, his hat in his right hand, his left hand thrust into his waistcoat. Politician and soldier, Barré was born in Dublin to French parents. He entered the army and fought alongside General Wolfe at the Battle of Quebec in 1759. Entering Parliament in 1761, he gained a fearsome reputation as a scourge of corruption and a champion of the American colonies. His phrase 'Sons of Liberty' became a Patriot slogan during the American War of Independence, 1775-82. He shared John Wilkes's royal enmity and mastery of radical invective; the town of Wilkes-Barré, Pennsylvania, founded 1769, commemorates their friendship. Barré was the subject of Sayers's second important political satire. By James Sayers (1748 - 1823). Sayers's caricatures were so powerful and direct in their purpose that Fox is said to have declared that they did him more harm than all the attacks made on him in parliament or the press. Numbered 'XII' faintly upper left. The publisher Charles Bretherton (c.1760 fl - 1783) was the younger brother of James Bretherton.

Henry Brougham Esq.r M.P. F.R.S.
Painted by T. Phillips Esq.e R.A. Engraved by S.W. Reynolds Engraver to the King
Published by the Engraver Bayswater October 1820
Mezzotint with very large margins, platemark 350 x 255mm (13¾ x 9¾"). Tipped into album sheet. Foxing to edges.
Henry Peter Brougham, first Baron Brougham and Vaux (1778-1868), lord chancellor. A radical Whig lawyer and MP, Brougham tirelessly campagined for the advancement of education and reform. He entered parliament in 1810 as a Whig and immediately promoted legislation against slave trading. He won popular renown as chief attorney to Queen Caroline. He was a prominent member and one of the founders of the Society of the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge in 1825, of University College London in 1828 and the London Mechanics Institutes in 1824. As Lord Chancellor Brougham's most important achievements were the passing of the 1832 Reform Act, and the Slavery Abolition Act of 1833. But for all his fame in his own day, Brougham's fate was not to be remembered for any one great achievement. Engraved after the portrait by Thomas Phillips (1770-1845), whose over 700 portraits record the leading personalities of his time.

Pubblicato in Venezia a spese di Franco Aglietti, e Compagni. [n.d. c.1790.]
Stipple, with very large margins, rare. 132 x 107mm. 5¼ x 4¼".
Edmund Burke (c.1729-1797) was a leading statesman, political thinker and writer. In the words of Winston Churchill he was 'perhaps the greatest man that Ireland has produced'. His impact on the Regency age centres on his 'Reflections on the Revolution in France' (1790), a major work opposing the French Revolution which laid the foundations of modern British conservatism. Original a Whig, he showed liberal support for the North American colonies and Catholic emancipation. Despite his early reputation as a reformer, Burke's Reflections expressed fears that revolutionary ideals would violently destroy essential British traditions and institutions. These views led him to break with the Whigs and side with Tories, for whom he became a figurehead. He is viewed as the philosophical founder of modern Conservatism, as well as a representative of classical liberalism.
