An oval bust-length portrait of Richard Howe, Earl Howe (1726–1799) in in admiral’s undress uniform, 1787–1795, with added epaulettes. Lettered beneath the image with the title, ‘Earl Howe’, and the production detail: ‘Engraved by J. Chapman from an Original Portrait.’ This portrait was engraved by John Chapman possibly after John Singleton Copley’s bust-length oil painting of around 1790, a version of which is now in the National Maritime Museum (see BHC2790), although epaulettes have been added to the uniform. This print is from the same plate published by Henry Delahoy Symonds as an illustration in ‘The Monthly Visitor, and Pocket Companion’, volume 4 (1798) , opposite page 109, alongside ‘Brief Memoirs of Earl Howe’ (pp. 109–123).
