'Robert Walpole', (1933). Portrait of Sir Robert Walpole, 1st Earl of Orford (1676-1745). Although the title was never used to refer to him at the time, Walpole is regarded as Britain's first Prime Minister. His administration lasted from 1721 until he resigned in 1742, longer than that of any Prime Minister since. After a miniature by Christian Friedrich Zincke. From "Gestalten Der Weltgeschichte", a book of cigarette-card portrait miniatures of figures in world history from the last four hundred years. [Germany, 1933]
