Blank greetings card with envelope featuring:

Lord Edward Russell NPG 2410

© National Portrait Gallery, London

by George Perfect Harding, after Unknown artist

The portrait is after an original in the collection of Woburn Abbey, dated 1573, and gives the sitter's age as 22. Edward's wife, Jane Sybilla, is referred to in the preceding year as a widow which makes this identification uncertain. The inset picture of a maze is taken from a popular book of emblems, Claude Paradin's Devises Hèroïques (1557). The accompanying inscription: FATA. VIAM. INVENIENT (The fates will find a way) is taken from Virgil's Aeneid.

Card size: 125mm x 175mm

Images are printed in their original proportions, within a white border.
