William Faithorne the Elder
William Faithorne the Elder belongs to the world of seventeenth-century English engraving, where the burin was applied to portraits and reproductive plates. His prints carry the fine linear modelling and restrained tonality typical of the period's professional engravers. The archive's single sheet, dated 1641, is an engraving of Mary, Princess of Orange, and stands as the sole example of his hand in the collection, with impressions falling within that same year.
