| Notes: | Mezzotint engraving after an original painting by George Sanders (1774-1846). In 1858 an equestrian bronze statue of the Third Marquess of Londonderry clearly influenced by the original painting was commissioned by the Third Marquess's widow Lady Frances Anne Vane-Tempest, to honour her husband's service to the county of Durham (he was Lord Lieutenant of Durham). It was erected to the designs of Milanese sculptor Raffaelle Monti (1818-1881) in the Market Place, Durham.
