EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases James Butler, the 2nd Duke of Ormonde, a prominent Irish statesman and soldier. Created in 1831 by H Robinson, this engraving beautifully captures the essence of a man who played a significant role in Irish history. Butler's distinguished military career began when he assumed command of a cavalry regiment in Ireland during 1684. As events unfolded, he found himself serving against the Duke of Monmouth upon James II's ascension to power. Later on, Butler participated in the Jacobite rebellion of 1715 before seeking refuge first in Spain and then France. The portrait depicts Butler as an imposing figure donning an exquisite suit of armor, symbolizing his prowess as a cavalry officer. His wig adds an air of sophistication to his appearance while hinting at the fashion trends prevalent during that era. Through this print, we catch glimpses into both the political and military aspects of Butler's life. A man deeply entwined with Ireland's turbulent past, he stands as a testament to resilience and adaptability amidst changing circumstances. H Robinson skillfully brings out these facets through intricate details captured in monochrome form. This artwork serves not only as a historical record but also as homage to one man's journey through war and politics - James Butler, the 2nd Duke of Ormonde.
