Two different engravings after the same artist, perhaps Frederick Yeates Hurlstone. Head and shoulders to the right wearing a hat. The print with the title is a vignette with no detail in the backgound and printed in an coffee colored oval. The print without letters is more highly detailed and probably more closely resembles the painting with a book on a table behind her left shoulder and the base of a Roman piller in the upper right. Her clothing and bonnet are shown in great detail. Rectangular vignette printed on a coffee colored background. The plate marking forms creates a border 3/16. This print is an illustration from Otto Trevelyan, The American Revolution (call no. 973.31 T812, 1909).
Selina, nee Shirley, Hastings, countess of Huntingdon, known as Lady Huntingdon, was the founder of the Countess of Huntingdon's Connexion. A convert to Methodism by the Wesley brothers, she became a controvercial missionary during the expansion of the Methodist Church in England and America.
