No Binding. Zustand: Very Good. John Smith (illustrator). A fine engraved mezzotint portrait printed circa 1750. Mounted/matted and ready to frame - though it may be too large to send matted outside the UK. A fine opportunity to purchase an unusual and attractive engraving of Godert de Ginkel, 1st Earl of Athlone engraved by John Smith, after Sir Godfrey Kneller. Ginkel commanded a body of horses at the battle of the Boyne (1690), and on the King's return to England was left as commander-in-chief in Ireland. In 1692 he was created Earl of Athlone.

Mezzotint, face and hand in pink, trimed to image, some small tears to title, now repaired, faint mark in top left hand corner, General Godert de Ginkel accompanied William III to England in 1688. He fought at the Battle of the Boyne and captured Athlone.
