Mezzotint, From the first series of life-sized heads. 490 x 350mm. Margins on three sides, cut just within the lower plate-mark, well clear of work good impression in a late 18th cent black & gilt carved frame, ex Artemis £780 Thomas Frye [1710-1762] was born in Edenderry, King's Country, Ireland. His grandfather was a dragoon officer who had fought at the battle of the Boyne on the side of William III. It is not known what education he had or when he came to London. He married around 1735 and had five children. Frye is typical of many of the artists who painted portrait miniatures in the early 18th century - he would not have identified himself primarily as a miniature painter, and did not learn the art as an apprentice under a master. Miniature painting, working in watercolour on ivory, was an established genteel pastime, and many artists felt able to teach themselves, and have it as simply as another string to their bow. Frye was involved in a wide variety of artistic activities, including oils, mezzotint prints, crayons (also called pastels), 'plumbago' portraits (small drawings in graphite on vellum), miniatures in watercolour on ivory, enamels and even oil 'miniatures' painted on metal. He was also a founder partner and first manager of the bow porcelain 'manufactory' in London. He devoted so much time to the factory that he became ill in 1759 and had to go to Wales for his health; unfortunately the factory did not survive his absence.

As a result of this activity miniatures on ivory by Frye are rare. Frye had some important commissions as a portrait painter in oil - Frederick , Prince of Wales sat to Frye for an oil portrait for the Saddlers' Company. He was also particularly famous for his striking mezzotints. Frye died of consumption in 1762. Ref: 9429 1157 1874. Woman's Rights. An Original Epilogue. by Horty Cultor, Esq., O.S.

Typically, it is a lay minister trained in the art of catechesis.

The primary catechists for children are their parent. Poem by Charles Lamb (London, 10 February 1775 – Edmonton, 27 December 1834), who was an English essayist of Welsh heritage, best known for his Essays of Elia and for the children's book Tales from Shakespeare, which he produced with his sister, Mary Lamb (1764–1847).

Born the son of a farmer in Llanrhymney, Wales, Henry Morgan had no inclination to follow in the father’s muddy footsteps and left home to seek his fortune. Control over how to seek that fortune slipped from his personal grasp, however, when he was shanghaied, shipped off to the West Indies and sold into indentured status in Barbados. He escaped in 1654 after Oliver Cromwell sent a large invasion force to the West Indies, which Morgan joined. By 1666 Morgan had his own ship, and soon assembled a fleet which triumphed against Spanish galleons in Maracaibo lagoon (in modern Venezuela) before in 1670 he led over two thousand British and French privateers in the sack of Panama, then considered the wealthiest city in the New World. However, since the Spanish were aware of Morgan's approach, takings were less than anticipated and Morgan left with his share of the loot, rather than trying to allay the For political, religious and especially economic reasons, however, the favourite targets were Spanish. The sack led the Spanish to threaten war against England, so Charles II arrested Morgan and placed him in the Tower of London. However, once the furore died down, Charles II knighted Morgan for his exploits and sent him back to Jamaica as lieutenant-governor, where he lived until 1688. Ref: 9341

Erskine was a lawyer and Whig politician who rose to prominence defending political radicals during the 1790s. He was Lord Chancellor in Grenville's coalition 'Ministry of All the Talents'. Erskine stood for free speech and a free press and is remembered primarily as one of the great advocates in English legal history. He rose to prominence defending political radicals in the 1790s, winning a notable victory against the State during the infamous Treason Trials of 1794. His best known client was Thomas Paine whom he defended unsuccessfully against a charge of seditious libel after the publication of his Rights of Man (1791).

He lived and worked in Britain until age 37, when he emigrated to the British American colonies, in time to participate in the American Revolution. His principal contribution was

the powerful, widely-read pamphlet Common Sense (1776), advocating colonial America's independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain, and of The American Crisis (1776–1783), a pro-revolutionary pamphlet series. He became notorious because of The Age of Reason (1793–94), the book advocating deism and arguing against Christian doctrines. In France, he also wrote the pamphlet Agrarian Justice (1795), discussing the origins of property, and introduced the concept of a guaranteed minimum income. Ref: 9355

A satire on British efforts to recover after major naval losses on the Great Lakes in 1813 and 1814. According to Lanmon, it is based on Thomas Rowlandson's 1798 satire "High Fun for John Bull or the Republicans Put to Their last Shift." In the center, King George III feeds a tray of small ships into a bread-oven, as two other men stand by with additional trays of ships and cannon. A Frenchman stands to the left, holding a trough of "French Dough." King George: "Ay! What . . . Brother Jonathan taken another whole fleet on the Lakes -- Must work away -- Work away & send some more or He'll have Canada next." Frenchman: "Begar Mounseer Bull. Me no like dis new Alliance -- Dere be one Yankey Man da call "Mac Do-enough" Take your Ships by de whole Fleet -- You better try get him for I never get Do-enough made at dis rate!!!" Englishman: "Here are more Guns for the Lake service. If ever they do but get there -- I hear the last you sent were waylaid by a sly Yankey "Fox" and the ship being a "Stranger," he has taken her in." Second Englishman: "I tell you what Master Bull -- You had better keep both your Ships and Guns at home -- If you send all you've got to the Lakes, it will only make fun for the Yankeys to take them."'

In this case trimmed just inside the platemark and mounted on a seperate sheet itself engraved with the central area blank to be over printed but here with the engraving laid. The decoration of the boarders suggest affluence and abundance with printed verses relating to John Law and his Economic theories. John Law was a charismatic Scottish Econimist with a flair for finance who wielded extraordinary influence in France and Holland in the early 1700's. He introduced investors to both paper currency and to the stock-market form of trading. The objective was a banking and investment conglomerate that was supposed to enrich its shareholders by colonizing French territory in the vast Mississippi River basin. Frenzied speculation in the company's shares, a Gallic parallel of the South Sea Bubble that puffed up the British market over the same period, generated so much paper wealth in Paris that the French coined a word for the newly rich hordes: ''millionaire.'' This venture failed spectacluarly in 1720. BM Satires 1688. Ref: 9338
