Jean Baron de Churchill, Duc et Comte de Marlborough, Conseiller Intime de la Reyne d'Angleterre Chevalier de l'Ordre de la Jaretiere Commendant Général de 'Artillerie et des Troupes Angloises, Prince du St. Empire.
Wothuk Sculp. [Adriaen Van der Werff.]
A Paris chez Basset rue St. Jacques. [n.d. c.
Engraving. Plate 536 x 404mm. 21 x 16". Some small stains around the edges of the margin.
John Churchill, 1st Duke of Marlborough (1650-1722), Soldier and statesman. Rising to become a confidential agent of James, Duke of York, Churchill managed to play a major role in crushing the Duke of Monmouth's rebellion when James became King in 1685. Just three years later he abandoned his Catholic king in favour of the Protestant William of Orange. His influence at court reached its height with the accession of Queen Anne. Promoted to Commander-in Chief of the allied forces, he achieved huge victories against the French in the War of the Spanish Succession. However, the increasing unpopularity of the war and Marlborough's arrogance contributed to his dismissal by Anne in 1711. He eventually regained favour with the accession of George I in 1714.
