For the Boscawen mug, see P.D. Gordon Pugh, Naval Ceramics, Newport, 1971, p.12, and plate 31 (A) (another mug illustrated). Boscawen’s pose on the mugs derives from John Faber’s 1747 mezzotint after the Ramsay portrait, and the head from the Reynolds portrait. Admiral Edward Boscawen (“Old Dreadnought”) commanded the Fleet at the Siege of Louisburg in 1758.
