This print is after the painting 'Edwin the Minstrel' by Joseph Wright of Derby. The painting was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1778 and 1781 and was a portrait of a living person, Thomas Haden.
Thomas Haden, a Derby gentleman and surgeon, was considered to be one of the handsomest men of the time.
"Thomas Haden of Derby, my grandfather, was under a polished exterior, one of the most determined men I have ever known, and one of the bravest. He would have made a hero of romance if he had had the chance. At the age of 85 he defended his home against the whole mob of Derby, keeping them at bay all night."
