Rare mezzotint; sheet 360 x 250mm (14¼ x 9¾"). Trimmed; tipped into album sheet.
Edward Hyde, first earl of Clarendon (1609-74), politician and historian. As a politician, Clarendon dominated royalist counsels during the 1650s and 1660s, helping the cause to survive throughout the interregnum. He was made lord chancellor in 1658 , and elected chancellor of Oxford University in 1660. He is chiefly remembered, however, for writing what has been described (DNB) as 'the most sophisticated and finely balanced history yet written in English'. His account of the Civil War, 'History of the Rebellion' (published posthumously, 1702-4) is 'a distinctive work of art based on a highly wrought style, a forensic dissection of character and issue, and a sense of the individuals' moral responsibility for their actions'. Mezzotint after a portrait by Gilbert Soest (c.1605-81), little-known portrait painter probably born in the Netherlands but active only in London.
