EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enigmatic beauty of The Right Honourable the Countess of Essex, a prominent figure in 18th-century British aristocracy. Despite being created by an unknown artist, this portrait exudes elegance and sophistication. The Countess, also known as Frances Carr, was born Frances Howard and led a fascinating life filled with scandal and intrigue. Married at the tender age of 14 to Robert Devereux, the 3rd Earl of Essex, her marriage was later annulled in favor of a union with Robert Carr, the 1st Earl of Somerset. Her direct gaze towards the camera reveals her confidence and poise. Framed within an oval shape, she stands as a symbol of power and influence during this era. This image is taken from "The History of England" by Paul de Rapin-Thoyras, adding historical significance to its allure. As we delve into history through this mesmerizing portrait, we are reminded not only of Lady Essex's remarkable story but also how art can transcend time. It serves as a testament to both her individuality as well as broader societal norms prevalent during that period. With every detail meticulously engraved on paper by John Harrison for his edition published in London in the 17th century, this photograph print offers us a glimpse into an era long gone but forever preserved through artistry and craftsmanship.
