EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Robert Carr, the 1st Earl of Somerset, a prominent British politician and favorite of King James I of England. The image is a reproduction of an exquisite painting by John Hoskins, dating back to around 1625. The photograph was featured in the Chairman & Vice-Chair Miniatures cigarette cards series produced by R. J. Lea Ltd. in Manchester during 1912. In this portrait, we see Robert Carr's distinguished face adorned with a well-groomed beard and mustache, reflecting the fashion trends of his time. His attire consists of regal clothing befitting his aristocratic status, complete with an elaborate collar and dress that exude elegance and authority. The blue background accentuates the subject's direct gaze towards the viewer, capturing his confidence and charisma as a powerful figure in British politics during the early 17th century. As one person who played a significant role within King James I's court, Robert Carr left an indelible mark on history. This remarkable print not only serves as a visual representation of an influential statesman but also offers us insight into the artistry prevalent during this period. It allows us to appreciate both historical figures like Robert Carr and talented artists such as John Hoskins for their contributions to British society centuries ago.
