Archibald Campbell, 8th earl of and 1st marquess of Argyll 1607-1661, Scottish statesman. He became chief of the powerful Campbell clan at the death (1638) of his father, the 7th earl. A staunch Presbyterian, he was a leading opponent of Charles I's attempt to strengthen episcopacy in Scotland. Charles sought to win his support by making him a marquess (1641), but after the outbreak of the English civil war Argyll represented the Covenanters in negotiating (1643) the alliance with the English parliamentarians.

A beautiful elaborate fleur de lis scrollwork decorative border surrounds the image, with a tiny vignette at the top of the portrait image. The vignette may represent the family coat of arms or crest.The celtic like ornamental perimeter scrollwork surrounding the portrait is a beautiful work of art, typical of a John Tallis type production. A great historical portrait print for a genealogy buff looking for family heritage or royalty type prints.

CONDITION: Scuff mark on the image and title area, otherwise in Good Condition. Portrait Image area is clean, clear and sharp with beautiful detail and in Very Good Condition. Blank on Reverse side and printed heavier paper. This beautiful print would look great matted and framed.
