John Lewis of Richmond.
Painted by T. Stewart. Engraved by R. Field.
[British, n.d., c.1793.]

Portrait of John Lewis (1713-1792), Richmond resident who owned a brewery near the Thames close to where Terrace Gardens now are. Facing the viewer, he holds a stick in his right hand, wearing a dark coat open over a pale double-breasted waistcoat, white cravat and broad-brimmed hat over a chin-length wig. Lewis became a local celebrity through a famous legal case in 1758 against Princess Amelia, he re-established the freedom for public to walk through Richmond Park. The Park reopened on 12th May 1758 when ladder style gates were fixed to Ham & Sheen gates in front of a vast gathering of local people. On a subsequent state of this portrait the following inscription was added, the words of the Rev. Thomas Wakefield: “Be it remembered that by the steady perseverance of John Lewis, brewer, at Richmond, Surry, the right of a free passage through Richmond Park was recovered and established by the laws of his country (notwithstanding very strongly opposed) after being upwards of twenty years withheld from the people”. The painting by Stewart, a pupil of Sir Joshua Reynolds, currently hangs in the Reference Library at the Old Town Hall, Richmond. Field's only mezzotint.
