EDITORS COMMENTS
This oval portrait captures John Montagu, the 4th Earl of Sandwich (1718-1792), an influential British statesman famously attributed to the invention of the sandwich in 1762. The Earl's innovative creation, a slice of meat tucked between two pieces of bread, revolutionized the way people ate, particularly during long hours spent at the gaming table. John Montagu was born into nobility, the eldest son of the 3rd Earl of Sandwich. He served in the British Army and later entered politics, holding various high-ranking positions, including First Lord of the Admiralty and Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. His political career was marked by significant achievements, such as the signing of the Treaty of Paris in 1763, which ended the Seven Years' War. Despite his political accomplishments, Montagu's most enduring legacy is the sandwich. The exact circumstances surrounding its invention remain uncertain, but the story goes that the Earl, who spent long hours at the gaming table, requested that his servants bring him meat tucked between two slices of bread so he wouldn't have to interrupt his game to eat. This convenient and delicious invention quickly caught on, and the sandwich became a staple in British culture. The Earl of Sandwich's portrait, with its formal attire and serious expression, stands in stark contrast to the casual, practical nature of his culinary creation. The laurels adorning the frame serve as a reminder of his political achievements, while the sandwich, a symbol of his ingenuity, continues to be enjoyed by people around the world.
