"Blackie and Son Ltd: A Timeless Legacy of Portraits from the Past" Step into the captivating world of Blackie and Son Ltd, a treasure trove of historical portraits that transport us back to significant eras in time. With each brushstroke, these masterpieces capture the essence of notable figures who shaped history. One such portrait is Lord Palmerston, an influential statesman whose political prowess defined the mid-19th century. Painted around 1850 by an unknown artist, this depiction showcases his commanding presence and unwavering determination. Moving forward to c1880, we encounter Sir Charles Gavan Duffy immortalized by Lesage's skilled hand. As a prominent Irish nationalist leader, Duffy's portrait radiates strength and resilience—a testament to his unwavering dedication to his cause. The Right Honorable James Whiteside takes center stage in another striking piece from c1850 (c1880), crafted by Mayal. Serving as Lord Chief Justice of Ireland during tumultuous times, Whiteside exudes authority through every stroke—his piercing gaze leaving a lasting impression. Venturing further back in time with Thomas Southerne's portrait from c1710 (c1880), created by James Worsdale, we witness the elegance and sophistication prevalent during this era. Southerne's refined features reflect both his literary genius as a renowned playwright and the cultural ambiance surrounding him. Daniel O'Connell graces two separate portraits within this collection—first captured around 1830 (c1880) by Joseph Patrick Haverty; then again circa 1840 (c1880) by Thomas Heathfield Carrick. These portrayals encapsulate O'Connell's charismatic persona as he fought tirelessly for Catholic emancipation and Irish independence—an indomitable force etched onto canvas for eternity. Rev. Theobald Mathew or Father Mathew emerges next with Haverty's evocative rendering from c1820 (c1880).
