EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the likeness of William Cavendish, 1st Duke of Newcastle, a remarkable English polymath and aristocrat who passed away in 1676.

Cavendish was known for his diverse talents and interests, excelling not only as a statesman and military leader but also as a poet, playwright, and patron of the arts. His legacy lives on through his contributions to literature and politics during the turbulent times of the English Civil War.
The fine details captured in this engraving showcase Cavendish's distinguished features and regal attire, reflecting his status as a prominent figure in British history. The skillful artistry of both Turner and Woodburn brings to life the essence of this influential nobleman, allowing us to glimpse into the past and appreciate his enduring impact on society.
