Lord Bacon's Essays - Title Page is a 1782 ink by George Murray, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows a man in a long, dark robe with a high collar, standing stiffly. He holds a small object in his left hand, and his right hand rests on his hip. The background is plain, and the whole scene is framed by an ornate border with swirls and leaves. The title at the top reads *"Lord Bacon’s Essays"*, and the print was made in 1819. The artist’s name isn’t on the face but is listed in the details—George Murray. Next, look up etching to see how this kind of print was made.
