Published by P Garof, Printseller, Edinburgh Oct.r 10, 1804.
Mezzotint, platemark 510 x 350mm (20 x 13¾"), with very large margins. Slightly time stained.
Charles Hope, Lord Granton (1763-1851), judge. Hope was appointed lord advocate in 1801 and was presented with the freedom of the city of Edinburgh shortly afterwards for his assistance to magistrates in obtaining a bill for the poor of the city. This print was published shortly before Hope was appointed as an ordinary lord of session and lord justice clerk, and given the title of Lord Granton. Hope's distinguished legal career lasted until his retirement from the bench in 1841. When the volunteer movement began during the Napoleonic Wars, Hope enlisted firstly as a private, later being appointed lieutenant-corporal. Fine engraving after a portrait by Henry Raeburn now in the Scottish National Portrait Gallery. The print is one of few published by Pasquale Garof (1774-1808), a carver and gilder born in Como, Italy who established a business in Edinburgh.
