EDITORS COMMENTS
This colored etching, titled "Portrait of John Bellingham (1770-1812)" by Denis Dighton, offers a glimpse into the life of an infamous figure in British history. The subject of this portrait is none other than John Bellingham himself, known for his role as the assassin of Prime Minister Spencer Perceval. The image portrays Bellingham standing with a solemn expression on his face, captured in profile. His piercing gaze and determined stance hint at the gravity of his actions and impending trial. As we observe him reading from a document, one can only imagine the thoughts running through his mind - perhaps contemplating his plea or strategizing for his defense. The setting appears to be within London's Old Bailey courthouse during Bellingham's trial. The artist pays attention to detail by highlighting elements such as sideburns that were popular during that era. This historical artifact now resides in the National Portrait Gallery in London. Bellingham's story serves as a reminder of how individuals throughout history have shaped nations through their actions, both heroic and villainous. This print invites viewers to reflect upon justice, accountability, and the consequences that follow when grievances are taken into one's own hands.
