3rd January 1814: Subscribers to the portrait/engraving of Joseph Radcliffe

William Owen's portrait of Joseph Radcliffe

On 7th June 1813, the West Riding bourgeoisie had given an Address of Thanks to Joseph Radcliffe at his residence, Milnsbridge House. They also invited him to sit for a full-length portrait, which was to be funded by a private subscription. 

On Monday 3rd January 1814, the Leeds Intelligencer carried a notice of the last subscriber, William Wilberforce MP, having published a full list of subscribers in the 27th December 1813 edition of the paper. This list is a veritable who's-who of the enemies of Luddism in the West Riding and beyond, although some names are particularly noticeably absent: the Huddersfield solicitor, John Allison; the manufacturer William Cartwright; the Stockport Solicitor John Lloyd; and the manufacturer Francis Vickerman.

A copy of the text of the advert is below (with the list of subscribers after the break).

PORTRAIT

Of Sir Jos. Radcliffe.

THE SUBSCRIBERS to the PORTRAIT and PRINT, are respectfully informed, that Mr. OWEN, R.A. Portrait Painter to His Royal Highness the Prince Regent, has nearly completed a striking likeness of Sir Joseph Radcliffe, Bart. and Mr HEATH, R.A. Historical Engraver to His Majesty, has engaged to execute a Line Engraving from it, in his best and most finished style.
