EDITORS COMMENTS
Sir Edward Dering (1598-1644), a prominent figure in English politics and antiquarian studies during the early modern period, is depicted in this striking portrait. Born in Kent, Dering rose to prominence as a Member of Parliament (MP) for the county. His political career was marked by his loyalty to the Crown and his service as Keeper of the Tower of London, a position he held from 1636 until his death. The Tower of London, an iconic symbol of English history and royal power, looms large in the background of the portrait, underscoring Dering's connection to the monarchy and the fortress. The antiquary's interest in the past is reflected in his attire, which includes a scholarly gown and a hat adorned with a feather. The inscription at the bottom of the print, "Sir Edward Dering. Anno 1638," indicates that the portrait was created during Dering's tenure as Keeper of the Tower. The autograph adds an intriguing personal touch to the image, connecting us directly to the subject and providing a tangible link to the past. Sir Edward Dering's life intersected with some of the most significant events in English history, including the Gunpowder Plot of 1605 and the English Civil War. His contributions to the study of antiquities and his dedication to the Crown make him an important figure in the annals of English history. This portrait offers a glimpse into the life of a man who played a pivotal role in shaping the nation's past and future.
