EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of John Hampden, an influential English politician who fearlessly challenged the authority of King Charles I during the 17th century. The portrait, created in 1785 by an unknown artist, showcases Hampden's direct gaze and strong presence. Hampden gained prominence for his refusal to be taxed for ship money in 1637, a bold act that landed him on trial. His unwavering stance against unjust taxation made him a symbol of resistance and defender of the faith. This historic image is featured in "The History of England" by Paul de Rapin-Thoyras, published by Harrison in London. The oval-shaped frame adds a touch of elegance to this monochrome engraving, highlighting Hampden's importance as one of Britain's most notable politicians.
