A Brief Description Of Prince Charles, (Charles The First) Painted at Madrid, in 1623, By Velasquez, When the Prince's Marriage with the Infanta was proposed- Now Exhibiting At No.21, Old Bond-Street, London.
[John Snare? n.d. c.1847]
Rare letterpress, sheet 220 x 140mm (8¾ x 5½").
A letterpess advertising the Velázquez portrait of Prince Charles (later Charles I) that was exhibited at 21 Old Bond Street in London in 1847. John Snare (c.1808-84) was a bookseller and publisher from Reading, England, whose life was transformed by his 1845 discovery of a lost Velázquez painting, which he believed depicted a young Charles Stuart. Thought to have been painted during Charles’ 1623 visit to Spain, the portrait sparked a long legal battle with the Earl of Fife’s estate, leading to Snare’s financial ruin. He later emigrated to New York, where he died in 1884. The painting, last seen in 1885 at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, has since disappeared, with only Snare’s written accounts remaining.

He also served as honorary secretary to two major artists' benevolent funds.
