William Laud Greetings Card
Blank greetings card with envelope featuring:
William Laud NPG D11415
© National Portrait Gallery, London
published by David Loggan, after Sir Anthony van Dyck
Loggan's address has been rubbed off the impression. Browne may have acquired the plate or impressions from Loggan conceiving it to be a pair to his mezzotint of Thomas Wentworth, Earl of Strafford. Laud and Strafford were loyal to Charles I and were the two most prominent Royalist 'martyrs' of the Civil War. Browne no doubt sold the prints to cash in on the nostalgia for the reign of Charles I.
