EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print showcases the esteemed Charles Howard, Duke of Norfolk (1746-1815), as depicted by the talented artist James Gillray. Published in 1800 by Hannah Humphrey, this hand-coloured etching beautifully captures the essence of a prominent statesman and influential figure of his time. In this striking profile view, we see the Duke exuding an air of sophistication and authority. His tailored coat and cravat speak to his impeccable sense of fashion, while his top hat adds a touch of elegance to his ensemble. Notably, Gillray's satirical style shines through with subtle exaggerations such as Howard's hooked nose and sideburns. Adding a whimsical element to the composition are two mischievous pigs at the Duke's feet. This clever social satire hints at Howard's involvement in society while playfully poking fun at certain aspects of Georgian gentry life. The inclusion of gloves, boots, cane, and walking stick further emphasizes the Duke's refined stature within society. It is evident that every detail has been meticulously crafted to convey both power and prestige. As an engraving from New College Oxford's collection courtesy of Bridgeman Images, this artwork offers us a glimpse into history through its portrayal of one man who played a significant role in shaping it. The combination of Gillray's artistic skill with Howard’s notable presence makes for an intriguing visual narrative that continues to captivate viewers even today.
