EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the distinguished figure of William Russell, 1st Duke of Bedford, captured around 1758. Created by the talented artist Simon Francois Ravenet, this portrait is a testament to both Russell's political influence and his significant role in English history. Russell was an esteemed English politician who served in the House of Commons from 1640 until 1641. He fought valiantly as part of the Parliamentarian army during the tumultuous English Civil War but later switched sides to join the Royalists. Beyond his military endeavors, Russell also left an indelible mark on London by developing the renowned Bloomsbury area. The print itself is a remarkable piece taken from "A Complete History of England" authored by Tobias Smollet and David Hume. Published between 1758 and 1760 for James Rivington, James Fletcher, and R. Baldwin in London, it stands as a visual representation of historical literature. In this monochrome depiction, Russell gazes away thoughtfully while adorned in regal attire befitting his noble status. The intricate lace collar adds an air of elegance to his ensemble while emphasizing his position within society. As we delve into this engraving that captures one man's journey through war and politics during a turbulent era in British history, we are reminded not only of William Russell's legacy but also how art can immortalize key figures who have shaped our world.
