EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enigmatic figure of Archbishop Williams, Lord Keeper, in 1785. The creator of this intriguing portrait remains unknown, adding to the air of mystery surrounding this influential Welsh clergyman. John Williams (1582-1650) served as a trusted political advisor to King James I and held esteemed positions such as Bishop of Lincoln, Lord Keeper of the Great Seal, and Archbishop of York during his lifetime. The image is sourced from "The History of England" by Paul de Rapin-Thoyras, published by Harrison in London. This engraving showcases Archbishop Williams' direct gaze towards the camera, exuding confidence and authority. His attire reflects the fashion trends prevalent in eighteenth-century Britain: a distinguished hat atop his head and an elegant neck ruff framing his face.

This monochrome depiction offers us a glimpse into a bygone era when men like him wielded immense power within their country's hierarchy.
