Thomas Lord was a man of many talents and interests, as depicted in various engravings throughout history. In the Page of Advertisements engraving, we catch a glimpse of his entrepreneurial spirit and innovative mindset. Moving forward to The Drake from 1791-96, we see that Lord's influence extended even to the world of art, with this hand-coloured engraving showcasing his appreciation for beauty. Fast forward to 1872, and we find Lord leaving his mark on Lords Ground. This unknown creator captures the essence of this iconic location, forever associated with Thomas Lord himself. But it wasn't just sports that interested him; he also had an eye for civic life. In the portraits of Alderman Sir William Heygate and Common Councilman William John Reeves from 1825, we witness Lord's fascination with individuals who held positions within London's city government. Another figure caught by Thomas Lord Busby's brush is Recorder Sir John Silvester in civic costume - a testament to Lord's admiration for those who served justice in the City of London during that era. But it wasn't all about high-ranking officials; everyday people also captured Thomas Lord's attention. From an apple seller carrying a large basket filled with fruit to a matt seller shouldering his wares or even a rabbit seller displaying his goods on a pole - these depictions show us how deeply connected he was to the vibrant street life of early nineteenth-century England. In one particular artwork by Busby from 1820, we encounter Owen Clancy begging on crutches with devices strapped to his legs - perhaps reminding us that not everyone enjoyed prosperity during those times. Thomas Lord truly had an eclectic taste when it came to capturing moments through artistry. Whether it was depicting famous landmarks like Lords Ground or shining light on ordinary individuals going about their daily lives, he left behind an enduring legacy through these engravings which continue to fascinate viewers today.
