EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the distinguished figure of The Marquis of Rockingham, immortalized through the skilled hands of engraver William Ridley. Taken from Junius Stat Nominus Umbra, attributed to Sir Philip Francis and published in 1805, this exquisite piece captures the essence of a prominent 18th-century English statesman. Charles Watson-Wentworth, the 2nd Marquis of Rockingham, is depicted with an air of authority and wisdom. As a Whig politician who served two terms as Prime Minister of Great Britain during pivotal moments in history, his influence cannot be overstated. From March to July 1782 and again from July 1765 to July 1766, he held the reins of power with grace and determination. The intricate stipple engraving technique employed by Ridley adds depth and texture to this portrait. Encased within an elegant oval frame, The Marquis exudes confidence as his gaze meets ours. His position as leader of the House of Lords is evident in every line etched on his face. This remarkable artwork not only pays tribute to a significant historical figure but also serves as a testament to the talent and skill possessed by both Ridley and Francis. It invites us into a world long gone yet still resonant with political intrigue and societal change. As we admire this print today, we are reminded that great leaders leave indelible marks on their nations' histories - just like The Marquis has left an indelible mark on our
