George Canning Greetings Card
Blank greetings card with envelope featuring:
George Canning NPG 1832
© National Portrait Gallery, London
by Sir Thomas Lawrence
Lawrence depicts Canning declaiming in the House of Commons. One supporter saw it and recalled his spirit-rousing 'Portugal' speech: 'Here I plant my standard and where the standard of Britain is planted no oppressor can ever come!' However Burdett, an opponent, thought him posed 'like an actor standing before a glass rehearsing a part.'
Card size: 125mm x 175mm
