Blank greetings card with envelope featuring:

John Wilmot, 2nd Earl of Rochester NPG D29491

© National Portrait Gallery, London

after Sir Peter Lely

A poet and courtier, Rochester's satirical wit and licentiousness alternately fascinated and enraged Charles II, who dismissed him from court at least once a year. He is best known for his amorous lyrics, biting satires and obscene fantasies; fickle patron of poets and dramatists, including Dryden.
