Thomas Attwood, Esq.r. Dedicated to the Members of the Birmingham Political Union.
Designed & Written by Joseph Tilley, late assistant to M.r Guy of the Military College, Great Marlow.
[n.d., c.1835.]
Scarce etching. Sheet 510 x 355mm (20 x 14"). Trimmed to plate, several repairs, surface abrasions and soiling.
A portrait in profile of Thomas Attwood (1783-1856), wearing a jacket with a fur collar, holding a paper titled 'Solemn Declaration of the Political Union'. Attwood founded the Political Union in 1830. He brought Birmingham to the edge of insurrection in 1832 to help ensure the passing of the Reform Act. Elected as Birmingham's first MP, he was a rare Parliamentary ally of Chartism and presented the first national petition to the House of Commons in 1839. Birmingham suffered two weeks of rioting following the petition's rejection. Attwood subsequently retired from public office and concentrated his energies on economic theory.

[George Cartwright] Captain Cartwright visiting his Fox-traps.
W. Hilton Pinx.t. T. Medland scul[p.]
[London: G. G. J. and J. Robinson & John Stockdale, 1792.]
Etching. Sheet 220 x 175mm (8¾ x 7"). Trimmed, into image on right, title excised and pasted under image, losing publication line.
A full-length portrait of George Cartwright (c.1739-1819), wearing furs and snowshoes, leading a blinkered greyhound. In 1768, after serving in the army, Cartwright travelled to Newfoundland and Labrador, attempting to trade with the Inuit for furs. In 1772 he returned to London with five Inuit to exhibit, four of whom died of smallpox. The fifth, a woman called Qavvik, returned home in 1773 taking the disease with her: less than a year later Cartwright noted that ''The Inuit of southern Labrador were almost entirely wiped out by the disease". In 1786 Cartwright returned to England for good and published his diary, 'A Journal of Transactions and Events during a Residence of nearly Sixteen Years on the Coast of Labrador', to which this is an illustration.

T. Clarkson et Wilberforce.
hardivillier.
1835.
Stipple. Sheet 255 x 170mm (10 x 6¾"). Light foxing, vertical crease to right edge of sheet.
William Wilberforce (1759 - 1833) was an evangelical Christian and social reformer who dedicated himself to the 'suppression of the Slave Trade and the reformation of manners'. He entered Parliament in 1780 as a Tory MP and was the Parliamentary leader of the Abolition movement from 1787. After years of campaigning, Wilberforce's bill to end Britain's part in slave trading was passed to a standing ovation in 1807. Thomas Clarkson (1760 - 1846) was one of the early British abolitionists, and interested Wilberforce in the issue. A further act of 1833 provided for the emancipation of slaves in British colonies.
