John Charles Brooke (1748-1794): Antiquary and Somerset Herald, in His Heraldic Costume This striking image captures John Charles Brooke, an influential antiquary and Herald of Somerset, in his full heraldic regalia. The portrait, dated between 1748 and 1794, offers a glimpse into the grandeur and tradition of the heraldic profession during the 18th century. Brooke's attire reflects his status as a herald, an officer of arms responsible for maintaining and recording the coats of arms and other heraldic insignia of noble families. The elaborate costume includes a richly embroidered tabard, surcoat, and mantle, adorned with various heraldic devices and symbols. The mantle, draped over his shoulders, is edged with ermine fur, a symbol of royal favor and prestige. The antiquarian aspect of Brooke's career is also evident in this portrait. An antiquary is a scholar of antiquities, particularly those related to history, archaeology, and folklore. Brooke's extensive knowledge of heraldry and genealogy would have made him a valuable resource for researchers and historians of the time. John Charles Brooke's career as an antiquary and herald spanned several decades, during which he made significant contributions to the field. He authored numerous works on heraldry and genealogy, including "A Complete System of Heraldry" and "The General Armory of England, Scotland, and Ireland." His dedication to preserving and documenting the history and traditions of his native Somerset and beyond left a lasting impact on the study of heraldry and genealogy in England. This evocative portrait of John Charles Brooke, in his heraldic costume, offers a captivating glimpse into the world of 18th-century heraldry and antiquarianism. It serves as a reminder of the rich history and traditions that Brooke and his contemporaries worked tirelessly to document and preserve.
