John Milton as a Boy
Not on view
Milton here wears a doublet and lace collar, costume in fashion when he was a boy. Based on a portrait from life, the engraving was published to illustrate a 1761 edition of John Toland's "Life of Milton" then reissued in Francis Blackburne's "Memoirs of Thomas Hollis" (1780).
