Description
Mezzotint engraving. Half length portrait of Aislabie seated, wearing a black coat, embroidered/patterned waistcoat, ruffled shirt and black cravat. With his right hand he is holding a book entitled 'M.C.C. Subsrcibers to Matches', which is resting on a table.
Aislabie was president of MCC in 1823 and Secretary from 1822 until his death in 1842. He did have a very poor first class record himself, due in part to his obesity.
