EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print, created by W. Ridgway in 1860, transports us to the elegant world of Lord Strafford during the 18th century. The subject of this portrait is Thomas Wentworth, 1st Earl of Strafford (1672-1739), a distinguished diplomat and influential figure as First Lord of the Admiralty. Dressed in his elaborate attire consisting of a cloak and hat that exude aristocratic charm, Lord Strafford's penetrating gaze captivates our attention.
