This intriguing print captures the essence of a man deeply rooted in British history and literature. Educated at Christ Church, Oxford, Percy's intellectual prowess was matched only by his close friendships with literary giants such as Samuel Johnson and James Boswell. As chaplain to George III, he played an influential role in shaping the religious landscape of his time. The engraving exudes a sense of timeless elegance, transporting us back to the 18th century when Percy's ideas flourished amidst a backdrop of societal change. The intricate details in his headdress and headscarf reflect both his position as a churchman and his commitment to Christian values.
