EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable painting titled "Spencer Perceval" by George Francis Joseph. The portrait depicts the esteemed Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Spencer Perceval (1762-1812), who held office from 1809 until his tragic assassination. Born as the second son of the Earl of Egmont, Perceval's journey to political prominence began with his successful career as a barrister before entering Parliament in 1796. His ascent continued rapidly, serving as Solicitor General in 1801 and Attorney General in 1802. In 1807, he assumed the role of Chancellor of the Exchequer before ultimately becoming Prime Minister two years later. However, on that fateful day of May 11th, 1812, tragedy struck when John Bellingham, described as a man with a disordered mind, assassinated Perceval within the House of Commons. The painting itself was created by George Francis Joseph based on a death-mask taken by Joseph Nollekens shortly after Perceval's untimely demise. This particular artwork is one among several made following his passing; another version can be found at The National Portrait Gallery. Through this evocative image captured by A. J. Photographics for Historic England's collection, we are reminded not only of Spencer Perceval's significant contributions to politics but also the fragility and unpredictability inherent within historical events.
