EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Laurence Hyde, the 1st Earl of Rochester, a prominent English statesman and writer during the 17th century. The engraving, created by Robert Dunkarton in 1815, beautifully captures Hyde's dignified presence and intellectual prowess. Hyde was an ardent supporter of the Glorious Revolution of 1688, which aimed to overthrow King James II and establish William III as the new monarch. His unwavering dedication to this cause earned him great respect among his peers and solidified his place in British history. The mezzotint engraving is based on a portrait painted by Willem Wissing (possibly Sir Godfrey Kneller), showcasing Hyde's refined features with remarkable detail. Published by S. Woodburn in London, this print exemplifies the artistry of its time. As we gaze upon this image from centuries past, we are transported back to a pivotal era in British history. It serves as a reminder of the influential figures who shaped our world through their political ideologies and literary contributions. This print is part of Florilegius' private collection and is a testament to their commitment to preserving historical artifacts for future generations. Through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, we have been granted access to appreciate this masterpiece that encapsulates both artistic brilliance and historical significance.
