Blank greetings card with envelope featuring:

John Maitland, Duke of Lauderdale NPG D16279

© National Portrait Gallery, London

by Gerard Valck

An important Restoration politician, Lauderdale was Secretary of State for Scotland from 1660 to 1680, and had almost absolute power there. He was a member of the Cabal ministry, but took little interest in English affairs. Created a Duke in 1672, he was a cultivated but unprincipled and unattractive man.
