EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the distinguished figure of Francis Egerton, the 3rd Duke of Bridgwater. The engraving, created by an anonymous English artist in the 19th century, captures the nobleman's regal presence and commanding aura. With a facsimile of Egerton's signature dated September 29th, 1788, this artwork offers a glimpse into his historical significance. The painting from which this engraving was derived was originally crafted by Cole and skillfully transformed into an exquisite piece by E. Scriven. Published in 1831, it stands as a testament to both artistic talent and admiration for Egerton's accomplishments. Known for his pioneering contributions to engineering and navigation, Francis Egerton played a pivotal role in revolutionizing inland transportation with his visionary creation - the Bridgewater Canal. This masterpiece not only connected key regions within England but also paved the way for future canal systems worldwide. As we gaze upon this remarkable portrait, we are transported back in time to witness the grandeur that surrounded this influential figure. It serves as a reminder of how one man's determination can shape history and leave an indelible mark on society. This print is part of Look and Learn / Elgar Collection held privately but shared with us through Bridgeman Images. Its availability allows us to appreciate both artistry and historical significance while honoring Francis Egerton's lasting legacy as an esteemed civil servant and nobleman.
