EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases David Leslie, Lord Newark, a prominent cavalry officer and general during the English Civil War in the 17th century. Painted by the talented artist George J Stodart, this portrait captures Lord Newark's commanding presence and distinguished features. Lord Newark played a significant role in this tumultuous period of English history. Initially fighting for the Parliamentary forces, he contributed to their victory at Marston Moor in July 1644. However, his loyalties shifted in 1650 when he joined the Royalists. Unfortunately for him, defeat awaited at both Dunbar and Worcester battles, leading to his imprisonment in London's Tower. The Restoration brought about a change of fortunes for Lord Newark as he was released from captivity and granted the title Baron Newark. This intriguing image reflects not only his military prowess but also hints at his complex journey through allegiance shifts during this turbulent era. The monochrome aesthetic adds an air of timelessness to this portrait while emphasizing Lord Newark's strong character and determination. As we gaze upon this engraving today, it serves as a reminder of the bravery displayed by individuals like David Leslie amidst political turmoil that shaped England's destiny centuries ago.
