Painting Description
James Walter Grimston, 1st Earl of Verulam (1775–1845) was a British peer and politician who served as a Member of Parliament (MP) for several constituencies and held the title of Earl of Verulam from 1815 until his death. An engraving of Grimston, created by H. Robinson, is part of the collection at the National Portrait Gallery in London. This particular engraving is included in volume II of a series published around 1835 by William Owen.
The engraving of the 1st Earl of Verulam captures Grimston in a period of British history marked by significant political and social change. As an artwork, it serves not only as a representation of the Earl himself but also as a historical document that reflects the artistic and engraving techniques of the early 19th century. H. Robinson, the engraver, was known for his skill in translating portraits into engravings that could be widely disseminated, making the likenesses of notable figures available to a broader public.
The National Portrait Gallery, which houses the engraving, is an institution dedicated to the collection of portraits of historically important and famous British people. The inclusion of Grimston's engraved portrait in their collection underscores his significance in British history and the value of the artwork as part of the country's cultural heritage.
The publication of the engraving in William Owen's volume is indicative of the era's interest in documenting and celebrating notable personalities. Such works were often collected by contemporaries who were keen to have a visual record of the influential people of their time. The engraving of James Walter Grimston, 1st Earl of Verulam, thus serves as a testament to his prominence and the esteem in which he was held during his lifetime.
