The artist behind this exquisite engraving is J Cochran, while Sir Godfrey Kneller played a role in its creation as well. Charles Talbot's intriguing life story unfolds within this image. Born in 1660, he was named after his godfather King Charles II and raised as a Roman Catholic.

The portrait captures Talbot's dignified presence with his elaborate wig and meticulously styled hair. It reflects not only his political stature but also symbolizes the religious tensions that defined his era. As an influential statesman during Britain's Restoration period, Talbot navigated complex political landscapes with finesse. His commitment to public service earned him respect among both Catholics and Protestants alike. This striking monochrome print serves as a testament to Talbot's enduring legacy as a key figure in British history. It offers viewers an opportunity to delve into the intricate tapestry of religion, politics, and identity that characterized seventeenth-century Britain.
