Anti- #Jacobite medal to mark the recapture of Carlisle by the Duke of Cumberland (and the removal of the cathedral bell at his order, because it had been rung to welcome Prince Charles Edward in 1745), recently sold (not to me) on eBay #c18 #c18th #18thc
Obverse: High-relief right-facing bust of the Duke of Cumberland in military uniform with powdered hair tied in a queue, sash, and the Star of the Order of the Garter on his breast.
Reverse: The Cathedral Bell of Carlisle with top mounting canons and hanging clapper, standing over two horizontal lines with the date  1746 incuse in the lower exergue.

Another (somewhat fence-sitting) #Jacobite peer condemned to death in 1746: the wily Simon Fraser, Lord Lovat (by Hogarth, from my front hall) #c18 #c18th #18thc
Engraved portrait of Lord Lovat ‘drawn from the life’ and engraved by Hogarth in the eve of his execution in this best-selling print

I wonder how many different steam locomotives have operated the Jacobite service over the years? Back to the early 90s, and 75014 BR Standard Class 4MT 4-6-0, works the steam special out of Fort William. #FortWilliam #Jacobite #Steam

Broadside with the three #Jacobite peers (Cromartie, Kilmarnock & Balmerino) condemned to death in 1746, at Forum Auctions (est. £600-800) #c18 #c18th #18thc
Catalogue description:
'The Procession, Stature, Dress, and Likeness of the three Rebel Lords', broadside with woodcut vignette and three columns of letterpress text, on laid paper affixed to board support, sheet 460 x 358 mm (18 1/4 x 14 1/8 in), some small perforations and losses within the sheet, marginal nicks and losses, particularly to the upper right corner, damp-stains, toning and surface dirt, unframed, [circa 1746] ... Scarce, possibly unrecorded; variants of the vignette are held in the National Library of Scotland, and the British Museum. A satire on the Jacobite rebels showing three condemned Scottish lords (George Mackenzie, 3rd Earl of Cromartie; William Boyd, 4th Earl of Kilmarnock; Arthur Elphinstone, 6th Lord Balmerino) standing in an open space, possibly at the Tower of London. In the background on the left is an execution scene on a platform with a man holding up a severed head.

The #Jacobite engraving on the back of my front door is of Princess Louise Marie, James II and VII's daughter, who died in 1712, a few weeks before her 20th birthday #c18 #c18th #18thc
Engraved portrait of the Princess Royal, wearing a loose robe and mantle, seated at a table beneath a swag of drapery. She holds a large mirror which reflects the skull resting on the table, along with a crown, orb and sceptre, some closed books, a large globe and a viol. There is also an open book with 'To every thing there is a Season...' from Ecclesiates. Beneath her: 'MARY-LOUISA Daughter of King James II at her Toilett.' Partially cut off is the date of her death, 18 April 1712. This is flanked by two lines of verse from Nicolas Rowe's Ulysses (1706): 'And therefore wer't thou bred to virtuous Knowledge / [And] Wisdom early planted in thy Soul / To bear with accidents, and ev'ry Change / of Life, to Struggle with Adversity.'

This is quite cool: Treasury order for the repayment of a £50 loan by George Bubb Dodington to the government for the suppression of the #Jacobite rebellion. At Boone Shares auctions, Antwerp (est. €200-400) #c18 #c18th #18thc
Catalogue:
Treasury Order of £50 loan. Heavily used and cancelled, with a bold diagonal stroke, pronounced folds, numerous edge tears and losses, small holes and losses. Issued to George Dodington (1691-1762), the celebrated Georgian politician, Treasurer of the Navy, diarist and future Baron Melcombe, upon the Twenty-fourth Four-Shillings Aid, the Land Tax raised for the service of 1746. The loan was made without interest. Issued during the Jacobite uprising of 1745-46, only two months before the Battle of Culloden, it belongs to a period of exceptional pressure upon British government finance. The face bears the signatures of Henry Fox, later 1st Baron Holland and father of Charles James Fox (the great parliamentary rival of William Pitt the Younger); George Lyttelton, later 1st Baron Lyttelton; Horatio Walpole, 1st Baron Walpole of Wolterton and younger brother of Sir Robert Walpole, and Robert Walpole as Lord Orford (Auditor of the Receipt of the Exchequer), eldest son of Sir Robert Walpole . Fox and Lyttelton additionally signed the reverse. 6 February 1745/6

It was only a matter of time before I had to use the (only remaining) blank space offered by the inside of my front door for more #c18 #c18th #18thc engravings (one of them #Jacobite)
