Description: Offered here is an engraved portrait of the philosopher, John Locke (1632-1704). The engraving is by Thomas Phinn (1728-1771), a British engraver, after a portrait by Godfrey Kneller (1646-1723). According to the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Kneller portrait is the most accurate portrait of Locke. This engraving was originally the frontispiece to a 1762 publication of a book by Locke entitled, Some thoughts on the conduct of the understanding in the search of truth. The dimensions of the sheet are: height 6 inches by width 3 3/4 inches. This print is from my personal collection which I am beginning to sell off. Please read the condition description carefully and review the photographs. Unless noted otherwise in the description, the prints, art and other items that I sell are not "reproductions". For example, offered maps are of the period. I do my best to accurately describe the items being sold, but if you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me. Please check my other listings for additional items of interest. I will combine shipping.
