Gleanings of Natural History (1758) Volume 3, plate 341

Many of the illustrations in the third volume of Gleanings depict the South American birds captured from a French ship by Captain Washington Shirley (later the 5th Earl of Ferrers) during the Seven Years War for control of North America. Edwards dedicated the volume to Ferrers and stated that without the ‘most curious parcel of natural subjects in high preservation’ he could not have finished the book.

View of the execution of Laurence, the 4th Earl of Ferrers at Tyburn, 1760.

The execution is watched by a large crowd;

a grandstand to the left seats many people and horseguards form a circle around the scaffold.

The Earl was executed for the murder of his steward.
