Right Honble Lord Howe
An oval bust-length portrait of Richard Howe, Earl Howe (1726–1799) in flag officer’s undress uniform, 1748–67, and a hat. The portrait is set in a decorative frame lettered at the top with the title, ‘Right Honble. Lord Howe.’ Flanked on the left by laurel branches and a flag with a telescope and folded paper below. This print was published by John Walker in ‘The Westminster Magazine, or The Pantheon of Taste’ for May 1782 (volume 10), opposite page 229, alongside ‘An Account of Richard, Lord Viscount Howe’ (pp. 229–31). This impression has been cut down, removing the publication line. (Updated June 2019.)
