EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving depicts a young boy dressed in exquisite 17th-century attire, showcasing the regal lineage that runs through his veins. The subject of this print is none other than Charles Beauclerk, the 1st Duke of St Albans and the illegitimate son of Nell Gwyn and King Charles II. With an air of confidence and poise beyond his years, the young duke dons a stylish hat that adds to his royal charm. His portrait serves as a testament to both his noble heritage and the fashion trends of the era. The artist skillfully captures every intricate detail, from the fine embroidery on his clothing to the subtle expression on his face. This engraving not only immortalizes Charles Beauclerk but also offers us a glimpse into English history during this period. Published in Peter Cunningham's book "The Story of Nell Gwyn and the Sayings of Charles II" in 1852, this illustration has since become an iconic representation of British royalty. It reminds us that even amidst scandalous affairs and political intrigue, love can give birth to remarkable individuals who leave their mark on history. As we gaze upon this engraving, we are transported back to a time when power was inherited or bestowed upon those deemed worthy by bloodline alone. It serves as a reminder that even within unconventional circumstances such as illegitimacy, greatness can still flourish.
