EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print showcases the distinguished figure of Algernon Percy, Earl of Northumberland, a prominent personality from 17th-century Britain. Created by the talented artist Jacobus Houbraken in 1742, this engraving beautifully captures the essence and grandeur of Lord Northumberland. With his aristocratic air and commanding presence, Lord Northumberland is depicted in an oval frame, exuding an aura of authority and nobility. His meticulously groomed moustache adds to his refined appearance, reflecting the fashion trends of the time. As one gazes upon this artwork, it becomes evident that Lord Northumberland was not only a man of high social standing but also held significant positions within society. Known as Admiral of the Fleet and Baron Percy during his lifetime (1602-1668), he played a crucial role as a naval officer during Stuart England's turbulent era. The intricate details captured by Houbraken offer us a glimpse into both Lord Northumberland's personal character and historical significance. This print serves as a testament to his contributions to British society during the English Civil War period. Displayed against a backdrop that evokes elegance and sophistication, this portrait stands as an enduring symbol of aristocracy and power in 17th-century Britain. A true masterpiece preserved within private collections today; it allows us to appreciate not only Lord Algernon Percy's legacy but also the artistic talent that immortalized him for generations to come.
