Description: | Mezzotint . This print was published in 1838 within Part V of a series of ‘Engravings from the Works of Sir Thomas Lawrence, P.R.A.’ A reporter for ‘The Athenaeum’ expressed his admiration for Wagstaff’s engraving of Lambton: ‘whether for the power and intellect of the head, or the bold and simple arrangement of the drapery. The appearance of this last engraving is peculiarly well timed.’ (In the year this print was published, Lambton was appointed Governor-in-Chief of British North America and High Commissioner to Lower Canada.) | Subjects: | John George Lambton Governor General of Canada 19th century costume male portrait 1st Earl of Durham Earl diplomat | Temporal: | 1838 | Source: | Government Art Collection | Creator: | Charles Edward Wagstaff (Engraver) | Identifier: | http://www.gac.culture.gov.uk/work.aspx?... | Go to resource |
