About the Item
The image is an original engraved portrait of William Cecil, Lord Burleigh.
William Cecil, 1st Baron Burghley, was a prominent statesman of the Tudor period in England and one of Queen Elizabeth I's closest advisors. He served as Secretary of State and later as Lord High Treasurer, playing a key role in matters of state, including domestic administration, economic policy, and foreign affairs during Elizabethan England.
The portrait indicates that it was part of a collection belonging to "The Rt. Hon. the Earl of Burlington," which suggests that it was taken from a notable private collection of the time. This engraving was published as the act directs on November 6th, 1784, adhering to the copyright laws of the period.
William Cecil was a significant figure in the Elizabethan government and his policies and influence had a lasting impact on the period known as the Elizabethan Golden Age. His legacy includes his role in the establishment of espionage networks, efforts in the preservation of Protestantism, and the stabilisation of England's economy.
