EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the esteemed George Villiers, 1st Duke of Buckingham, a prominent figure in English history. Known by various titles such as Sir George Villiers, Baron Whadden, and Viscount Villiers, he was an influential statesman during the 17th century. The engraving beautifully captures his dignified presence and aristocratic charm. Created by Cornelius Jansen in the 19th century, this print is a testament to the enduring legacy of George Villiers. Engraved by John T. Wedgwood from Jansen's original painting, it exudes elegance and sophistication. Villiers' remarkable career saw him rise to become Lord High Admiral and a favorite of King James I. His distinctive moustache adds an air of distinction to his portrait while reflecting the fashion trends of the Jacobean era. Tragically assassinated at a young age in 1628, this image immortalizes him as both a politician and courtier. The elaborate Elizabethan ruff around his neck symbolizes his status within English society. As you gaze upon this medallion-like portrayal of George Villiers, take note of his dandy appearance and regal countenance. This print serves as a poignant reminder of one man's influence on British politics during an era defined by power struggles and political intrigue.
