[George Villiers, first duke of Buckingham]
RE [for Renold Elstrack]
[published c.1700]
Engraving, platemark 255 x 180mm (10 x 7") large margins.
George Villiers, first duke of Buckingham (1592-1628), royal favourite, portrayed full-length with encampment and city in background. The initials 'RE' suggest the print was made by Renold Elstrack (1570-c.1625), the foremost English engraver of his time. In fact, Hind suggests that this is an eighteenth-century plate with Elstrack's initials fraudulently added to the second state. The first state, which bears text identifying the sitter and claiming dubiously that 'this plate hath been many years Preserved in a great persons Closet', was published (without the 'RE' monogram) by Benjamin Cole of Oxford (for an image of this state see NPG D5812).
