His influence extended beyond his hometown, as depicted in various engravings and artworks from the 19th century. In one engraving titled "Conferring the Honorary Degree of D. C. L. Upon The Russian Embassador, " we see Lord Eldon bestowing an honorary degree on a Russian ambassador in 1834. This event showcases his diplomatic skills and international connections. Another engraving called "Drill Extraordinary, or University Discipline" portrays Lord Eldon's commitment to maintaining order and discipline within the university setting. It highlights his dedication to education and ensuring that students receive a proper learning environment. A portrait from around 1810 depicts Lord Eldon himself, capturing his dignified presence and stature. Another artwork shows him as the Lord Chancellor around 1820, symbolizing his role as one of the highest-ranking officials in British law. Lord Eldon's impact is further emphasized by depictions of Sir John Leech, Vice Chancellor during the same period. These images suggest their close collaboration in upholding justice within Britain's legal system. Political cartoons like "Le Roy le veut. " by George Cruikshank demonstrate how Lord Eldon was subject to public scrutiny during this time. Such satirical pieces shed light on both admiration for his authority but also criticism for certain decisions made during his tenure. Despite any controversies surrounding him, there is no denying that Lord Eldon left an indelible mark on British history. His contributions are immortalized through numerous artistic representations throughout the years – be it portraits or engravings depicting significant moments such as conferring degrees or presiding over parliamentary sessions. As part of a lineage captured in an artwork titled "Lord Chancellors of Great Britain" from 1877, he stands alongside other notable figures who have held this prestigious position throughout history.
