EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking black and white engraving depicts Sir Richard Chiverton, Lord Mayor of London in 1657, as captured by the skilled hand of Robert Dunkarton in 1814. The image is taken from the comprehensive collection "Portraits of characters illustrious in British History from the beginning of the reign of Henry the Eighth to the end of the reign of James the Second," published in London in 1815. Sir Richard Chiverton's portrait presents a striking contrast to the turbulent times of the English Civil War. Dressed in the formal attire of the time, Chiverton wears a richly textured robe, adorned with intricate patterns and a fur-lined collar. The chain of office he holds in his left hand symbolizes his position as Lord Mayor, an office he held during the Commonwealth period, a time of political upheaval and change. The portrait provides a glimpse into the fashion of the seventeenth century, with Chiverton's high-waisted breeches, voluminous shirt, and lace cuffs. His white collar and ruff add a touch of elegance to his otherwise somber attire. The portrait also reveals the details of Chiverton's facial features, with his furrowed brow and piercing gaze, suggesting a man of great determination and resolve. The background of the portrait is simple, with a plain, dark backdrop that allows the subject to take center stage. The print's monochromatic color palette adds to its timeless quality, making it a valuable addition to any collection of historical portraits or British history. The image offers a fascinating insight into the past, providing a glimpse into the life of a significant figure during a pivotal period in English history.
