Description: | Mezzotint. The original ‘oil on canvas’ portrait on which this mezzotint engraving is based was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1853.
Lord Campbell’s portrait is now in the collection of the National Portrait Gallery in London. It was given to the Gallery by the Society of Judges and Serjeants-at-Law in 1877 but it is currently on display at the Royal Courts of Justice in London. The oil portrait was painted in 1850, after March that year when, at the age of 70, Campbell became Lord Chief Justice. He held this office until 1859. | Subjects: | Solicitor General Lord Chancellor wig Lord Chief Justice of England male portrait table quill armchair John Campbell Baron book ink pot/ink stand 1st Baron Campbell of St Andrews legal bands Member of Parliament | Temporal: | 1852 | Source: | Government Art Collection | Creator: | Thomas Lewis Atkinson (Engraver) | Identifier: | http://www.gac.culture.gov.uk/work.aspx?... | Go to resource |
