| Description |
English: The Reverend Nicolas Tindal, 1687-1774 A three-quarter-length portrait of Tindal, seated to the left and facing the right. He wears a gown, undershirt and the turban cap of a gentleman in informal dress, without his wig, and holds a book on his knees. Bernard Picart produced an engraving after this portrait in 1733. Tindal was chaplain to Sir Charles Wager in the Baltic in 1726. At this time he also published the first of fifteen volumes of his translation of Rapin's 'History of England' (1725-31). This is denoted by the book that he holds and those on the shelves in the background to the right. The second volume of the translation is dedicated to Wager, dated 12 July 1726; the fourth volume was dated 'on board the 'Torbay' in Gibraltar Bay, Sep. 4, 1727'. He was later appointed Chaplain to Greenwich Hospital in 1738 and died there on 27 June 1774. |
