[Increase Mather] Crescentius Matherus. Aetatis Suae 49. 1688.
[Vanderspirit pinxit. R. White Sculp. Londini.]
[n.d. c.1700]
Engraving, sheet 140 x 90mm (5½ x 3½"). Trimmed within plate and laid on backing sheet.
Bust-length portrait of Increase Mather (1639- 1723), at aged 49, with long hair, wearing skull-cap and bands, within an oval frame and resting on a pedestal. According to 'Proceedings of the Massachusetts Historical Society' (1894), “Mather’s portrait was painted in 1688 during his visit to England, where, as an agent of the Massachusetts Colony, he had gone in the spring of that year. The artist was John vander Spriett (fl. 1690-1700), a Dutch mezzotint engraver of little note, who had studied under Verkolie at Amsterdam, where he had painted a few portraits." Allegedly within a few months after Mather’s portrait was painted in London, it was engraved by Robert White (1645-1703). Reverend Increase Mather was a New England Puritan clergyman who served as the sixth president of Harvard College from 1685 to 1701. During his tenure, which coincided with the notorious Salem witch trials, he was influential in the administration of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. He was son of the Rev. Richard Mather and Kathrine Holt Mather.
