EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving depicts Humphry, Duke of Gloucester, Uncle to the King and Protector. The image showcases a historical moment frozen in time, capturing the essence of this influential figure from the 18th century. With meticulous detail and artistic finesse, the English School has brought this portrait to life. The Duke of Gloucester stands tall and regal in his ornate attire, exuding power and authority. As an uncle to the king, he played a crucial role as a protector during Henry VI's reign. This print offers us a glimpse into an era where family ties held immense political significance. The original picture that inspired this engraving was part of the esteemed collection owned by Horace Walpole at Strawberry Hill. It is evident that great care was taken to recreate every intricate brushstroke and expression from that original artwork. Shakespeare Illustrated (S & E Harding) featured this remarkable illustration in 1793, further cementing its place in history as it became associated with one of literature's greatest playwrights. As we gaze upon this print today, we are transported back through time to witness an important chapter in British history unfold before our eyes.
