Sir Dudley Digges, Knight and Master of the Rolls, Obit 1639, 1813
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a striking black and white portrait print of Sir Dudley Digges, an influential figure in British history during the Jacobean era. The portrait, created by renowned English engraver Charles Turner in 1813, is taken from the collection "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 in 1815. Sir Dudley Digges, dressed in the fashionable attire of the 17th century, is depicted in a solemn and serious manner, reflecting his role as a judge, commissary, diplomat, and member of Parliament. The intricate details of his clothing, from the voluminous doublet and breeches to the lace ruff at his neck, reveal the elegance and opulence of the Jacobean era. Born in the late 1570s, Sir Dudley Digges began his career as a lawyer and rose to prominence under King James I. He served as a member of Parliament, a diplomat, and was appointed Master of the Rolls in 1617. Digges was also a close associate of the influential statesman Lord Cobham and played a key role in the political intrigues of the early 17th century. The portrait was likely produced in the early 19th century, based on an original painting by the Dutch artist Cornelius Janssen van Ceulen. The print offers a glimpse into the fashion, politics, and society of the Jacobean era, making it an invaluable addition to any collection of historical portraits. Despite the passage of time, the portrait of Sir Dudley Digges continues to captivate viewers with its intricate details and historical significance. It serves as a reminder of the rich and complex history of Britain and the influential figures who shaped its course.
