EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative engraving is a portrait of James Stewart, Duke of Richmond and Lord Steward of the Household to King Charles I, during the tumultuous 17th century in Britain. The Duke, who was also the 4th Duke of Lennox, is depicted in formal attire, reflecting the aristocratic elegance and grandeur of the era. The image, created by the skilled engraver Robert Dunkarton, captures the Duke's regal bearing and the somber mood of the time. The Duke's attire, with its voluminous robes and intricate patterns, exemplifies the fashion of the period. His collar is adorned with the Order of the Garter, a symbol of high distinction and royal favor. The Duke's presence at the English court during the early 17th century was marked by his loyalty to the monarchy, even during the turbulent times of the English Civil War. The Duke's Scottish heritage is also evident in the image, with his distinctive plaid patterned kilt peeking out from beneath his robe. The print, which is part of the "Portraits of characters illustrious in British History from the beginning of the reign of Henry the Eighth to the end of the reign of James the Second" series by Samuel Woodburn, offers a glimpse into the rich history of the British aristocracy during a time of great change and upheaval. The Duke's obituary year is listed as 1655, indicating that he passed away during the aftermath of the English Civil Wars. Despite the challenging political climate, the Duke's legacy as a loyal and respected courtier endured, making this portrait a valuable historical record of a pivotal figure in British history.
