[n.d., c.1785.]
Proof before title stipple and etching . Sheet 310 x 210mm (12¼ x 8¼"). Trimmed within plate.
A half-length portrait of George Villiers (1592-1628) wearing a high, stiff lace collar and doublet with slashed sleeves, the jewel of the garter on a ribbon around his neck. The plate was engraved by Captain William Baillie (1723-1810) who ascribed it to van Dyke. However the drawing he copied, now in the British Museum (1862,0524.19), was by Lucas Vosterman, probably itself taken from a painting by Daniel Mytens. Baillie retired from the army in 1761 and devoted himself to printmaking and dealing. He specialised in imitating old-master drawings and prints, using a variety of printmaking techniques. Villiers was a royal favourite of Kings James I and Charles I who dominated early 17th-century English politics. His failure to win foreign wars, extreme extravagance, and monopolization of patronage created deep political tensions that fueled the pre-Civil War crises before his assassination in 1628.

[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).
