EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the distinguished figure of Walter Aston, 1st Lord Aston of Forfar, in all his regal splendor. Painted by the talented artist WT Mote in 1832, this portrait immortalizes a man who played a significant role in British history during the 17th century. Aston's notable achievements as a diplomat are highlighted here. In 1622, he was entrusted by the crown to negotiate an important marriage alliance between Charles, Prince of Wales (later King Charles I), and an Infanta of Spain. Although these negotiations ultimately proved unsuccessful, Aston's dedication and efforts were recognized when he was granted the title of Lord Aston of Forfar in 1627. The attire worn by Lord Aston reflects the fashion trends prevalent during Jacobean England. His elaborate collar and meticulously detailed dress exude elegance and sophistication befitting his noble status. Through this striking engraving, we catch a glimpse into both the personal style and political influence that characterized Walter Aston's life. The monochrome palette adds depth to his features while emphasizing his commanding presence. As we admire this remarkable piece from Heritage Images' collection, we are transported back to a time when men like Walter Aston shaped nations with their diplomatic prowess. This print serves as a testament to not only his individual legacy but also to an era defined by power struggles and intricate alliances that forever altered Britain's destiny.
