Blank greetings card with envelope featuring:

John Dryden NPG 1133

© National Portrait Gallery, London

by James Maubert

Maubert's modest portrait may have been painted for the bookseller Jacob Tonson, founder of the Kit-Cat Club, who published Dryden's works. The painting symbolises the poet's classical influences and inspiration, notably in the pile of books on the table - labelled Montaigne, Horace, Virgil, Homer - and the distant view of Parnassus and Helicon home to the mythological Muses.
