This print showcases an engraving of Lord Vaux, a prominent figure from the 18th century. The English School masterfully captured his likeness, preserving it for generations to come. Lord Vaux is best known as the author of the renowned grave diggers song in Shakespeare's Hamlet, specifically in Act V, Scene 1. The image itself originates from a drawing by Virtue that was once owned by the Honourable Horace Walpole. This remarkable piece of art was based on an original work by Holbien and serves as an illustration for Shakespeare Illustrated, published in 1793 by S & E Harding.
