EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Sir J. Fortescue, a prominent figure in English history during the 15th century. The image, captured in 1830 by an unknown creator, exudes a sense of mystery and intrigue. Sir John Fortescue was not only an esteemed Chief Justice of the Kings Bench but also a man with deep educational roots at Exeter College, Oxford. His loyalty to Henry VI during the tumultuous War of the Roses is evident, despite being tainted with treason. The photograph depicts Sir J. Fortescue dressed in traditional attire for his time period—a hat adorning his head and clothing befitting his status as a distinguished judge. His gaze looks away from the camera lens, perhaps lost in thought or reflecting on the challenges he faced throughout his career. The engraving featured here is part of "Biographical Illustrations" by Alfred Howard—an artistic representation that brings to life historical figures such as Sir J. Fortescue. Published by Thomas Tegg, R. Griffin and Co. , J Cumming in London, Glasgow, and Dublin in 1830. This remarkable portrait serves as a reminder of England's rich legal system and its influential individuals who shaped its course over centuries past. It invites us to delve into history books and explore the legacy left behind by men like Sir John Fortescue.
