EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable artwork of Sir William Howard, a prominent figure in English history. Created by Henry Lilly in the 17th century, this ink and gold leaf on vellum masterpiece captures the essence of Sir William Howard (d. 1308) with great precision. Sir William Howard was not only known for his distinguished career as Chief Justice of the Common Pleas but also for his significant contributions to society during his time. This portrait is drawn from stained glass that once adorned East Winch Church, now regrettably destroyed. The image depicts Sir William Howard kneeling in a display of reverence and authority, donned in elegant robes befitting his position. The intricate script surrounding him adds an air of authenticity and importance to this portrayal. As a judge and lawyer during the 13th and 14th centuries, Sir William's impact on the legal system cannot be overstated. His knowledge and expertise were highly regarded by King Edward I himself, who appointed him as both a Judge of the Court of Common Pleas and later as Chief Justice of the Kings Bench. This stunning portrait serves as a testament to Sir William Howard's legacy, capturing not just his physical appearance but also reflecting upon an era when justice prevailed under wise leadership. It stands as a reminder of our rich historical heritage and invites us to appreciate the profound influence individuals like Sir William had on shaping our world today.
