[Jonathan Richardson Senior] 1738.
Etching, sheet 155 x 125mm (6 x 5"). Trimmed; glued to backing sheet, slight foxing.
Henry St John, styled first Viscount Bolingbroke (1678-1851), politician, diplomatist and author. St John first entered parliament in 1701 and was appointed secretary at war in 1704 before resigning in 1708. He was subsequently secretary of state (1710-14) and aligned himself with the Jacobite cause to secure power for himself and the tories (spending several years in exile in France from 1716-23 as a result). Pardoned in 1723 Bolingbroke returned to England and tried to rally tory opposition in parliament, but was mostly active as a writer in later years. Portrait by Jonathan Richardson published as frontispiece to a volume of Bolingbroke's works in 1753 which attracted little critical attention.
