LORD BLAKENEY A rare English rectangular enamel plaque, c.1756-61, painted with a monk holding a lantern over an oval portrait, titled 'Ld.

He took part in the War of Jenkins Ear (see lot 14), being appointed Brigadier-General. Following the disastrous campaign in the West Indies he returned to Britain and was appointed Lieutenant Governor of Stirling Castle in 1742. After the Battle of Culloden (see lot 16) he was promoted Lieutenant General and given command of the Highlands. In 1748 he was appointed Lieutenant Governor of Menorca. During the early part of the Seven Years War, and despite gallant efforts to defend the island, Blakeney surrendered on 29th June 1756, the Garrison being given free passage to Gibraltar. Absolved of any blame for the defeat, Blakeney was raised to the Irish Peerage the same year and retired from military service to Ireland where he died on 20th September 1761. He is buried in the nave of Westminster Abbey. A print published in 1756, engraved by James McArdell after George Chalmers was inspiration for this plaque. Cf.
