Lord Anson

An octagonal bust-length portrait of George Anson (1697–1762) in flag officer’s full-dress uniform, 1748–1767, and a wig. Lettered beneath the image with the title, ‘Lord Anson’, and with the production and publication details, ‘Bollinger sc. / Zwickau, bei Gebr. Schumann.’ This early nineteenth-century print was engraved by Friedrick Wilhelm Bollinger (1777–1825) and published in Zwickau, Germany, by Gebrüder Schumann (fl. 1800–1826). The portrait is derived from Joshua Reynolds’s oil painting of 1753–5, a version of which is now at Shugborough. (Updated May 2019.)
