An exquisite testament to seventeenth-century English portraiture, this engraving of George Herbert, Prebendary of Lincoln and celebrated metaphysical poet, was executed by the master engraver Robert White in 1674. Capturing the solemn, intellectual rigor of the Classical era, the portrait serves as both a vital historical document and a masterclass in fine line work and tonal depth. Each reproduction is meticulously rendered to preserve the delicate cross-hatching and expressive clarity of White's original copperplate engraving. To ensure an archival presentation, every format—including our premium canvas—is finished with a consistent, clean white gallery border that elegantly floats the artwork in standard proportions without cropping, offering a refined, gallery-ready presentation suitable for architecturally minded interiors.
About Your Border
Every format — Fine Art Print, Framed Fine Art Print, Canvas and Framed Canvas — is supplied with a clean white gallery border framing the image on all four sides. The border is sized in proportion to the piece — approximately 10% of the shortest edge on each side (for example, about 3 cm of white border on a 30 cm-wide piece) — so the artwork keeps its standard proportions with no cropping and is ready to hang or frame straight away. If you prefer, you can also place your own mount/mat on top.
Would you like a different border width, a borderless full-bleed version, or any other adjustment? Just let us know within 24 hours of ordering and we'll tailor it for you at no extra cost.
