G B Rodney

State without publication line. A half-length portrait of George Bridges Rodney (bap. 1718, d. 1792) in flag officer’s undress uniform, 1748–1767. Lettered beneath the image with a facsimile of the sitter’s signature. This print was engraved in 1840 for E. H. Maxwell (ed.), ‘The Naval and Military Almanac’ (London: A. H. Baily & Co., 1840), February, opposite page 10, alongside a biography of the sitter. The portrait is after Joshua Reynolds’s oil painting of 1756–9, now at Petworth. (Updated May 2019.)
