Blank greetings card with envelope featuring:

William Cecil, 1st Baron Burghley NPG 2184

© National Portrait Gallery, London

by Unknown Anglo-Netherlandish artist

The inscription on the portrait can be translated as: 'Do God's will, Cecil, give thy country succour strong, Live pious as thy wont is; live, as thy need is, long'. The number of surviving portraits of Burghley attests to his political significance, though the majority of them derive from the same pattern which suggests that he rarely sat for his likeness to be taken.

Card size: 125mm x 175mm
