EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the distinguished figure of William Alexander, engraved by Bocquet. The illustration is taken from a catalogue of Royal and Noble Authors, Volume V, published in 1806. With its lithographic style characteristic of the 19th century English School, this piece now resides in a private collection. William Alexander, known for his role as a Scottish colonizer of Nova Scotia during the late 16th to early 17th centuries, exudes an air of authority and wisdom in this portrait. His oval-shaped face is framed by an intricate ruff collar that adds a touch of elegance to his appearance. A well-groomed beard and mustache further enhance his dignified countenance. The artist has skillfully captured both the physical features and character traits that define Alexander's historical significance. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to an era when colonial exploration was at its peak. This print serves as a reminder not only of Alexander's contributions but also of the broader context within which he operated. It stands as a testament to the enduring legacy left behind by those who ventured into uncharted territories with ambition and determination.
