EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the distinguished portrait of Sir William Keith, Governor of the Province of Pennsylvania, in all his regal glory. The image captures a moment frozen in time, as Sir Keith stands tall and proud, adorned in his resplendent armor and campaign wig. His piercing gaze looks away into the distance, perhaps contemplating the weighty responsibilities that come with governing a colony. The engraving exudes an air of elegance and sophistication synonymous with 18th-century fashion. The intricate details of his clothing highlight the meticulous craftsmanship prevalent during this era. This portrayal offers a glimpse into the history of American costume, as documented by Elisabeth McClellan's renowned book "History of American Costume - Book One 1607-1800". The oval-shaped frame adds to the overall aesthetic appeal, accentuating Sir Keith's commanding presence within its borders. As we admire this piece from Tudor Publishing Company's collection, we are transported back to a time when colonialism was at its height and North America was still being shaped. This print serves as both an artistic representation and historical documentation—a testament to Sir William Keith's significant role in shaping Pennsylvania and Delaware during his tenure as governor. It is through such visual relics that we can gain insight into our country's past while appreciating the artistry behind it all.
