EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases John Somers, the esteemed English politician who held significant positions in the late 17th and early 18th centuries. Created by WT Mote in the early-mid 19th century, this portrait captures Lord Somers holding the Lord Chancellors Purse, which contains the Great Seal of the Realm. Lord Somers served as Lord High Chancellor of England from 1697 to 1700 under King William III, a position of great importance within British politics. Additionally, he held the role of Lord President of the Council from 1708 until 1710. His influence and contributions to his country were highly regarded during his time. The original painting by Godfrey Kneller is housed in The Right Honourable The Earl of Hardwicke's collection. This engraving faithfully reproduces Kneller's work, showcasing Lord Somers' dignified presence and long-haired hairstyle that was fashionable during that era. With its monochrome aesthetic and attention to detail, this print offers a glimpse into an influential figure from British history. It serves as a reminder of Lord Somers' significant contributions to both law and politics during a transformative period for England.
