Description
Vintage engraving print depicting the trial of Thomas Wentworth, 1st Earl of Strafford, in Westminster Hall in 1641. Wentworth (1593 - 1641) was an English statesman and a major figure in the period leading up to the English Civil War. He served in Parliament, became a supporter of King Charles I and from 1632 - 1639 imposed a harsh rule as Lord Deputy of Ireland. He was recalled to England in late 1639 and became a leading advisor to the King, attempting to strengthen the royal position against Parliament. He was impeached by Parliament for "high misdemeanours" and his trial opened on March 22 1641 but defended himself so ably that his opponents had a bill of attainder passed in April / May condemning him to death - essentially a mechanism which allows Parliament to decree that an accused person is guilty of treason without actually proving it in law. The king reluctantly signed his death warrant and Wentworth was beheaded on Tower Hill on May 12 1641. Engraving circa 1842 by James Scott, based on a painting by William Fisk.

Description
Colour engraving print circa 1859 of Benjamin Franklin's infamous appearance before the Lords in Council (Privy Council) at Whitehall Chapel, London, in 1774. Engraving by Robert Whitechurch (1814 - c1880), based on a painting by Christian Schussele (1824 - 1879). Franklin (1706 - 1790) was publicly ridiculed and chastised during the appearance after he obtained and leaked letters written by Thomas Hutchinson, the English-appointed governor of Massachusetts. The letters had caused outrage in the Colonies because they called for a crackdown on the rights of Bostonians. Franklin's treatment by the Council accelerated the chain of events that ultimately resulted in the independence of the Colonies. Franklin was one of the Founding Fathers of the United States of America and was one of the "Committee of Five" appointed by the Second Continental Congress to draft the Declaration of Independence. He is also remembered as a noted polymath who excelled at many things. He was an author, theorist, diplomat, statesman, printer, inventor and scientist and is particularly remembered for his discoveries and theories regarding electricity and his invention of the lightning rod.
