EDITORS COMMENTS
Charles Stanley, 8th Earl of Derby: A Nobleman in Armor, 1672 (obituary, 1812) This evocative portrait captures the likeness of Charles Stanley, 8th Earl of Derby, as immortalized by the skilled hand of Robert Dunkarton in 1812. The image is taken from "Portraits of characters illustrious in British History from the beginning of the reign of Henry the Eighth to the end of the reign of James the Second," published in London by Samuel Woodburn in 1815. The Earl of Derby, born in the 17th century, is depicted in full armor, a testament to his aristocratic status and military prowess. The black and white engraving highlights the intricate details of the earl's clothing and armor, which were essential elements of the fashion of the time. The earl's stern expression and piercing gaze convey a sense of authority and gravity, befitting a nobleman of his rank. Charles Stanley was not only a significant figure in British history but also held various political offices, including the Mayorship of Liverpool. His military background is evident in the armor he wears, which was a symbol of power and protection during the tumultuous times of the 17th century. The portrait offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time of warfare, nobility, and political intrigue. The contrast between the white armor and the black background creates a striking visual effect, emphasizing the earl's prominent place in British history. Robert Dunkarton's skillful engraving captures the essence of Charles Stanley, 8th Earl of Derby, as a nobleman, a military leader, and a figure of authority in 17th-century England. This portrait is a valuable addition to any collection of historical images, offering insights into the fashion, politics, and social structure of the time.
