EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the legendary figure of Richard Whittington, a prominent merchant and mayor of London during the medieval period. The engraving, skillfully created by Renold Elstrack, captures Whittington's essence with remarkable detail and precision. Whittington stands tall in this half-length portrait, exuding an air of authority and wisdom. Adorned with his official chain of office and coat of arms, he symbolizes power and influence within the city. His piercing gaze reflects determination and resilience, embodying the spirit that propelled him to greatness. The inclusion of a cat in this artwork pays homage to the famous folk tale associated with Whittington. According to legend, he embarked on his journey to success accompanied by a faithful feline companion who brought him good fortune. Set within an elegant oval frame adorned with intricate spandrils, this print adds a touch of sophistication to any space it graces. Its historical significance is further enhanced by its preservation in a private collection. As we admire this true portraiture from centuries past, we are reminded of Richard Whittington's enduring legacy as both an English icon and an emblematic figure in London's history. This image serves as a testament to his achievements as well as a reminder that dreams can be realized through hard work and perseverance.
