EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, a print from the book "Lodges British Portraits" published in London in 1823, showcases William Howard, the 1st Viscount Stafford. Born in 1614 and tragically executed in 1680, he was an influential figure during a tumultuous period of English history. Viscount Stafford's story is one of religious persecution and political intrigue. As a devout Roman Catholic, he found himself embroiled in the infamous Popish Plot - a fabricated conspiracy that aimed to incite anti-Catholic sentiment throughout England. Despite his innocence, William Howard became implicated in this plot which ultimately led to his martyrdom. The portrait captured here depicts Viscount Stafford with solemn dignity. His piercing gaze reflects both strength and vulnerability as he faces the challenges brought upon him by his faith and political circumstances. The vertical composition adds to the sense of stature surrounding this nobleman. Ken Welsh's careful attention to detail is evident through this exquisite illustration; every line etched into the plate conveys depth and emotion. This print serves as a powerful reminder of an unjust era when individuals like William Howard were persecuted for their beliefs. As we reflect on this historical moment through Ken Welsh's lens, we are reminded of the importance of religious tolerance and justice for all people – lessons that remain relevant even centuries later.
