EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Cecil Calvert, the 2nd Lord Baltimore, in all his regal glory. The image, dating back to approximately 1880, offers a glimpse into the life of this influential figure from the 17th century. Cecil Calvert was granted a charter by King Charles I which bestowed upon him the prestigious title of first proprietor of the Maryland colony. His younger brother Leonard led the initial group of settlers who arrived in 1634 to establish this new English settlement in America. In this portrait, Lord Baltimore exudes an air of authority and sophistication. With his distinguished beard and lace collar adorning his attire, he embodies the essence of British colonialism during that era. His gaze is steady yet contemplative as if pondering over matters concerning his newly founded territory. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to this engraving captured by Edmund Ollier for Cassells History of the United States. It serves as a reminder not only of Cecil Calvert's significant role in shaping Maryland's history but also highlights England's influence on early American colonization. This remarkable print allows us to connect with our past and appreciate those individuals whose vision laid the foundation for present-day nations like America. Cecil Calvert stands tall among these pioneers, forever etched in history as one who dared to venture across oceans and build anew in uncharted lands.
