Horaty Veer, Equitus (Horace Vere, Lord Vere of Telbury)

Delamar’s work reflects the influence of Flemish engraving, evident in the delicate cherubic details that encircle the portrait. While the figure is sharply defined, the background is comparatively crude, suggesting a focus on the central subject over elaborate scenery. The artist’s signature appears at the lower edge, accompanied by the printer’s device.

Active in England during the early seventeenth century, Delamar produced portraits, landscapes, and illustrations for publications such as William Camden’s Historie. Though likely of Flemish origin, he worked in England between roughly 1615 and the mid‑1620s, and this print stands as a documented example of his portraiture of contemporary military figures.
