The captivating portrait of Francis North, engraved by Bocquet and featured in A catalogue of Royal and Noble Authors, Volume III, transports us back to the 17th century. This lithograph print, created by an English School artist in the 19th century, showcases the remarkable likeness of Lord Guildford himself. Francis North (1637-1685), known for his influential role as Lord Chancellor and trusted counselor to Charles II of England, is depicted with a dignified air that befits his esteemed position. As a renowned lawyer and barrister, he played a pivotal role in shaping political decisions during this era. The attention to detail captured in this artwork allows us to appreciate the intricate engravings that bring out the depth and character of North's face. His piercing gaze reflects both intelligence and determination—a testament to his unwavering commitment to justice. This portrait serves as a reminder not only of North's significant contributions but also of the rich history surrounding him. It offers viewers an opportunity to delve into the world of politics during this transformative period. As we admire this piece from our private collection today, we are reminded once again that art has the power not only to preserve historical moments but also to evoke emotions and spark curiosity about those who came before us.
