Dudley Ryder, 1st Earl of Harrowby, is a prominent historical figure whose legacy is captured in an engraving by Henry Robinson, an esteemed engraver active between 1796 and 1871. This particular engraving is part of the National Portrait Gallery, volume IV, published circa 1835 by Thomas Phillips, a notable portrait artist of the time. Ryder, born on December 22, 1762, and passing on December 26, 1847, was a distinguished British politician and statesman who played a significant role in the political landscape of his era.

Ryder was the eldest son of Nathaniel Ryder, 1st Baron Harrowby, and his wife Elizabeth Terrick. He was educated at St John's College, Cambridge, where he excelled academically, earning a Master of Arts degree. His political career began in earnest when he was elected as a Member of Parliament for Tiverton in 1784, a position he held until 1803. During his tenure in the House of Commons, Ryder was known for his eloquence and dedication to public service.

In 1809, Ryder was elevated to the peerage as Baron Harrowby, following the death of his father. His political influence continued to grow, and he held several key positions, including President of the Board of Control, Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, and Foreign Secretary. In 1824, he was further honored with the title of Earl of Harrowby.

Ryder's contributions to British politics were significant, particularly his involvement in the abolition of the slave trade and his efforts to promote economic and social reforms. His legacy is preserved not only through his political achievements but also through artistic representations such as the engraving by Henry Robinson. This engraving, published by Thomas Phillips, serves as a testament to Ryder's enduring impact on British history and his esteemed place within the annals of the nation's political heritage.
