Making History: Printed Portraiture in Tudor and Stuart Britain 1580-1640 7 July - 9 December 2007 Thomas Cavendish |
Before the age of photography, portrait engravings published as book illustrations created a market for images of celebrated individuals. This display features some of the earliest of the Gallery's portrait prints produced in England and examines how they tell a visual history. It will explore how naval heroes such as Francis Drake and traitors such as the gunpowder plotters became national figures. |
