Note
Likenesses of Rochford listed in the Oxford DNB (vol. 40 p. 263) include a J. Lodge engraving (after V. Green) reproduced in London Museum for April 1771, perhaps this one.
Rochford sat on the privy council of George II. See page 129 of The Trial (on leaf 191r of The Tragedy of Admiral Byng, 1756-1757) for a list of those present to receive the report of the 12 judges.
Within an oval frame, bust with torso turned slightly to his left, head facing straight ahead. Below the identifying text is a scroll: Convention with Spain, 1771. And below the scroll: Man may escape from Rope & Gun,/ But Infamy he ne'er can Shun./ Gay.
On leaf 187v of The Tragedy of Admiral Byng, 1756-1757
