  • Engraved Portrait of George Earl of Winchilsea, Half-Length, to left, in octagonal frame, after Phillips by H. Robinson.

Stipple engraving, from Ryall's Portraits of Eminent Conservative Statesmen,

A fervent Protestant Earl of Winchilsea engaged in a duel with the Duke of Wellington in 1829, then the Prime Minister, over Catholic emancipation. Evidently there were no hard feelings, as subsequently they entertained each other. When young, he played cribbage with Jane Austen, a relative.
