Blank greetings card with envelope featuring:

Henry Addington, 1st Viscount Sidmouth NPG 5774

© National Portrait Gallery, London

by Sir William Beechey

This portrait probably dates just before 1803 when Addington had to deal with threats of Napoleonic invasion after the failure of the Peace of Amiens (1802). He was an ineffective wartime leader and lost the premiership to Pitt in 1804. Between 1812 and 1821 he served as Home Secretary in Lord Liverpool's government and was reviled by radicals who identified him with the government's repressive policies.
