Algernon Percy, Earl of Northumberland and Lord High Admiral; Obit 1668, 1814
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating engraving by Robert Dunkarton, depicting Algernon Percy, the 10th Earl of Northumberland, who served as Lord High Admiral of England during the English Civil War. The portrait, taken from Samuel Woodburn's "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," showcases Percy in formal attire, reflecting the aristocratic fashion of the 17th century. Born in 1585, Percy was a prominent figure during the English Civil War, initially supporting the Parliamentarians under Oliver Cromwell. However, he later switched allegiance to the Royalist cause, leading to his execution in 1668. The engraving captures his regal presence, with his noble bearing and grand apparel, which was typical of the English aristocracy of the time. The image, created by Dunkarton in 1814, is a testament to the artist's skill in capturing the intricacies of the sitter's clothing and the essence of the period. The black and white engraving, with its fine detail and sharp contrasts, highlights the rich textures of Percy's dress, which includes a velvet doublet, lace collars, and a plumed hat. The background, though simple, effectively complements the subject, drawing the viewer's focus to the Earl of Northumberland and his story. The portrait is a valuable historical record, providing insights into the fashion, politics, and societal norms of the English Civil War era. It is a reminder of the complexities of the period, as well as the enduring influence of the aristocracy on British history.
