Blank greetings card with envelope featuring:

Unknown man, formerly known as Edward Young NPG 1244

© National Portrait Gallery, London

by Unknown artist

As a likeness NPG 1244 is empty and the identification as Young doubtful. In pose it somewhat resembles those derivative engravings which became current in the later 1770s, appearing in Bell's British Poets, 1777, and Johnson's editions of the poets. An inscription in an early 19th-century hand gives a brief biography of Young on the back of the panel. More detailed information on this portrait is available in a National Portrait Gallery collection catalogue, John Kerslake's Early Georgian Portraits (1977, out of print).
