Please note the following amendments to the printed catalogue This lot contains ivory. Due to recent changes in the laws of many countries (e.g. US, France) Sotheby's recommends that buyers check with their own government regarding any importation requirements prior to placing a bid. For example, US regulations restrict the import of elephant ivory and prohibit the import of African elephant ivory. Please note that Sotheby's will not assist buyers with CITES licence applications where a buyer elects to either collect or arrange their own shipping, nor will Sotheby's assist with the international movement of ivory by air, either as freight or through hand carry. Sotheby's shipping will only assist in shipping the lot to either domestic UK or EU destinations, where delivery is made by road transport. A buyer's inability to export or import these lots cannot justify a delay in payment or sale cancellation.

Sale, London, Christie's, 19 February 1980, lot 63

The sitter entered the army in 1748, and served with distinction under John Manners, Marquess of Granby in present-day Germany. In 1781 he was appointed Adjutant-General to the Forces. In retirement, from 1796, he held the post of Governor of the Royal Hospital Chelsea. In the present portrait Sir William wears the sash and star of the Order of the Bath.
