EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Sir Bartholomew Shower: A Prominent 17th Century English Lawyer" Sir Bartholomew Shower (1658-1701) was a distinguished English lawyer of the late 17th century, renowned for his legal expertise and significant contributions to the field of common law. This evocative portrait captures the essence of Sir Bartholomew Shower, showcasing his intelligence, dignity, and the sophistication of the legal profession during this period. Born in London in 1658, Shower was educated at Trinity College, Cambridge, before embarking on a successful legal career. He was called to the bar at the Inner Temple in 1681 and was knighted by King William III in 1692 for his exceptional service to the monarchy. Shower's legal prowess extended to various areas of common law, including property, contracts, and criminal law. He was a respected member of the legal community and served as a bencher at the Inner Temple from 1696 until his death in 1701. This portrait, believed to have been painted around the time of his knighthood, depicts Sir Bartholomew Shower in formal attire, wearing the insignia of his knighthood and the traditional wig and bands of a barrister. The intricate details of the painting, such as the rich textures of his clothing and the meticulous rendering of his facial features, convey a sense of depth and authenticity that transports us back to the 17th century. Sir Bartholomew Shower's legacy as a prominent English lawyer endures, and this evocative portrait serves as a testament to his professional accomplishments and the historical significance of the legal profession during his time.
