A general view of Old England [graphic]Dighton, Robert, 1752-1814, printmaker[September 1808]eng"An elderly general rides a high-stepping horse in profile to the left, posed like an equestrian statue. He wears a high cocked hat with cockade and plume; his sword-belt is buckled over his sash, which girds a heavy paunch. In his right hand is a cane. He is Lt.-General Richard England of Lifford, co. Clare, Colonel of the 5th Foot and Lt.-Governor of Plymouth, father of Sir Richard England (b. 1793). He was a veteran of the American War, and had been one of the first colonists of Western Upper Canada."--British Museum online catalogueTitle etched below image.Sheet trimmed within plate mark on three sides, with minimal loss of image from right edge.Leaf 71 in an album with the spine title: Characatures by Dighton.Watermark, trimmed: [Ed]meads 1808.
