EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Thomas Herring, Archbishop of Canterbury (1693-1757)" Thomas Herring, a distinguished clergyman and statesman, graces this portrait as the Archbishop of Canterbury from 1716 until his death in 1757. Born on March 26, 1693, in London, England, Herring's impressive career in the Church of England began at a young age. He was educated at Trinity College, Cambridge, and ordained a deacon in 1716, the same year he was consecrated as a bishop and appointed to the prestigious role of Archbishop of Canterbury. During his tenure, Herring played a significant role in the political and religious landscape of England. He was a trusted advisor to King George II and served as Lord Privy Seal from 1737 to 1742. Herring's strong leadership and diplomatic skills were evident during his time as Archbishop, as he navigated the complexities of the Anglican Church and its relationship with the English monarchy. This exquisite print, dating back to the 18th century, captures the wisdom and gravity of Herring's presence. His piercing gaze and the intricately detailed attire, including his mitre and robe, serve as a testament to his esteemed position within the Church and the broader society of his time. Thomas Herring's legacy extended beyond his role as Archbishop of Canterbury. He was a prolific writer and scholar, contributing numerous works on theology and ecclesiastical history. His most notable publications include "The History of the Church of England," which remains an essential resource for scholars studying the history of the Anglican Church. As we admire this portrait, we are reminded of the profound impact Thomas Herring had on the Church of England and the broader world during his time. His leadership, wisdom, and dedication continue to inspire generations of religious and political leaders.
