EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a remarkable engraving of Sir John Houblon, an influential figure in British history. Engraved by R. Williams and based on the original work by Johann Closterman, this portrait showcases the distinguished features of Sir John Houblon. Sir John Houblon (1632-1711) was not only the 1st Governor of the Bank of England from 1694 to 1697 but also held the prestigious position of Lord Mayor of London in 1696. His significant contributions to both finance and governance make him a prominent figure during his time. In this image, Sir John is depicted seated with an air of authority and confidence. He wears fur-trimmed robes befitting his status, along with a crown and chain of office adorning his attire. The attention to detail is evident in every aspect, including his meticulously styled wig that was fashionable during the seventeenth century. This portrait serves as a testament to Sir John's Huguenot heritage, as he came from a family deeply rooted in their faith and culture. The composition beautifully captures his three-quarter length pose against a backdrop that exudes elegance. The print offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate not only the artistry behind this engraving but also gain insight into one man's extraordinary life during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.
