United Kingdom History Biographies: Walter Devereux, 1st Earl of Essex (1541?-1576), English soldier. He helped in the suppression of the Northern Rebellion of 1569 and was created earl of Essex in 1572. In 1573 he volunteered to colonize a part of Ulster, then controlled by the O'Neill clan, and bring it under English rule. Famine, desertion of his troops, and the vacillation of Queen Elizabeth I negated his ruthless efforts to subdue the Irish. He was recalled (1575) and died soon afterward. His son, Robert, became the 2nd Earl of Essex.

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: Suitable browning from age with mild spotting on outside margin area, otherwise in Very Good Condition. Portrait Image and scrollwork 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. A paper restorer may be able to clean brown spots but you may also want to keep this print in it's authentic auntique condition. An art supply store can provide you with a selection of frames for old art treasures.
