Blank greetings card with envelope featuring:

John Maitland, Duke of Lauderdale NPG D11653

© National Portrait Gallery, London

by and published by Isaac Beckett, after John Riley

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.
