EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Portrait of James Oglethorpe" takes us back to the 18th century, offering a glimpse into the life of an influential figure in British history. The portrait showcases James Oglethorpe, a man known for his multifaceted roles as a military leader, Member of Parliament, philanthropist, and founder of the colony of Georgia. Sketched by Samuel Ireland and expertly engraved by C J Smith, this print captures Oglethorpe's dignified presence with remarkable detail. Sitting comfortably on an ornate chair amidst elegant furniture and fashions of his time, he exudes authority and intelligence. His attire reflects the fashion trends popular during that era. What makes this engraving even more intriguing are the handwritten autographs surrounding Oglethorpe's portrait. These signatures belong to fellow politicians, generals, members of parliament - individuals who played significant roles alongside him in shaping British society. Published in London by John Murray in 1835, this print serves as a historical testament to Oglethorpe's legacy. It reminds us not only of his contributions but also highlights the importance placed on portraiture during that period as a means to immortalize influential figures. As we gaze upon this image from Fine Art Finder's collection courtesy Bridgeman Images' Look and Learn / Elgar Collection archives; we can't help but be transported back in time to witness firsthand one man's impact on both politics
