Engraved by Jean Condé, French artist and print maker (Born Ĩle-de-France 1765 - Died London 1794) Published by Colnaghi, London - August 1st 1793 Beckford succeeded his father’s estates in 1811. As Horace Beckford, he was a notorious gambler and a member of Crockford's during the Regency Era. His mania for high play was so pronounced that when his maternal uncle, George Pitt, 2nd Baron Rivers died on 20 July 1828, he left Beckford (who succeeded him in the title by special remainder) only £4,000 per year directly, leaving the bulk of his estate, worth £40,000 per year, in the hands of trustees for Horace's eldest son George. On 20 November, Horace assumed the name of Pitt-Rivers for himself and his successors in the Pitt estates, the rest of his issue to take the name of Pitt. In January 1831, he was persuaded by friends to take up gambling again and lost. Frightened that he would once again become addicted, he drowned himself in The Serpentine on 23rd Editions of this work can be seen in the Metropolitan Museum, New York, The British Museum, The National Museum of Scotland and the National Trust Property of Kingston Lacy, Dorset Width: 18" / 46 cms Height: 22" / 56 cms
