Title:
Iohn Wilkes, Esq’r.
Description:
A portrait of Wilkes depicting the figure during his tenure as Member of Parliament for Aylesbury. This softer portrayal of the figure seems to have been created after his death as it describes him as ‘Late”, however it states “Published according to Act of Parliament 1764”. This item is another version of the previous item.
