EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking mezzotint portrait captures the distinguished visage of Charles Lennox, 4th Duke of Richmond (1764-1819), created by the skilled hand of Henry Meyer in 1807. The Duke, who served as the Governor General of British North America from 1805 to 1808, is depicted in formal attire befitting his aristocratic status and political position. The black and white image, reminiscent of the 19th century, reveals the Duke's elegant coat and jacket, complete with intricate lapels and cuffs, as well as his crisp white shirt and cravat. The Duke's piercing gaze and strong jawline convey a sense of authority and confidence, reflecting his prominent role in British colonial politics during a pivotal period in the history of the British Empire. The portrait, now held at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), offers a glimpse into the fashion and heritage of the time, providing a valuable connection to the past and a testament to the enduring influence of the aristocracy.
