EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Edward Montagu, the second Earl of Manchester, a prominent figure in 17th century England. The portrait, created by Peter Lely in the mid-17th century, beautifully captures the essence of this nobleman. Edward Montagu played a significant role in the English Civil War as he fought on Parliament's side against the Royalists. However, what sets him apart is his opposition to Charles I's trial and his subsequent efforts to restore monarchy after the war. This complexity adds depth to his character and highlights his political astuteness. The engraving depicts Montagu dressed in traditional 17th-century attire befitting an aristocrat of his stature. His commanding presence exudes strength and authority, emphasizing his role as a general during this tumultuous period. The monochrome aesthetic enhances the timeless quality of this image while also allowing us to focus on Montagu himself. It serves as a reminder that despite being captured over two centuries later (in 1840), this portrait continues to captivate viewers with its historical significance. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are transported back in time to witness one man's journey through war and politics—a testament to Edward Montagu's enduring legacy as an influential parliamentarian and advocate for restoration amidst turbulent times.
