EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the book "Lodges British Portraits" transports us back in time to the 16th century, showcasing Sir Hugh Middleton Or Myddelton C1560-1631. A man of many talents, he was a Welsh goldsmith, clothmaker, banker, entrepreneur, mine-owner, and self-taught engineer. His visionary mind led him to become the projector of the New River Scheme. The portrait captures Sir Hugh Middleton's dignified presence as he gazes confidently into the distance. The intricate details etched onto this plate reveal his refined attire and distinguished features. It is evident that this print aims to honor his significant contributions to various fields. Sir Hugh Middleton's entrepreneurial spirit shines through in his role as a successful banker and clothmaker. However, it is his engineering prowess that truly sets him apart. As the mastermind behind the New River Scheme, he revolutionized water supply systems by constructing an artificial river that brought fresh water from Hertfordshire into London. This illustration serves as a testament to Sir Hugh Middleton's remarkable achievements during a time when such accomplishments were rare for someone without formal training in engineering or mining. Through this print by Ken Welsh published in London in 1823, we are reminded of Sir Hugh Middleton's enduring legacy and how one individual can shape history with their ingenuity and determination.
