Unbound. Etat : Very Good. 16" x 12". A mezzotint of Henry-Charles Somerset, 6th Duke of Beaufort (1767-1831). Several inconsequential small spots of loss, trimmed inside the plate mark to the edge of image, and laid down, but with a rich tome and very good. Somerset was colonial governor of the Cape Colony, South Africa from 1814-1826. While there he established several governmental changes, including the legalization of English as the official language and the introduction of English currency. In the portrait he wears his chain as a Knight of the Garter and his insignia is prominently placed on his cloak.
