Description: Edward Walpole Jr. (1737-1771) was the son of Sir Edward Walpole (1706-1784) and his common-law wife Dorothy Clement (1715-1739). Born September 22, 1737, and baptized at St. James, Piccadilly, he was a student of Rev. Thomas Newcomb (1682?-1765) in Homerton, near Hackney, before entering an apprenticeship in May 1753 at the insurance office of John Peter Blaquière in Austin Friars, City of London. By 1755 Sir Edward Walpole was actively seeking a military commission for him with the Dragoon Guards. Lieutenant Colonel Edward Walpole was traveling to the south of France for his health when he died in Calais on March 31, 1771. He was buried at St. John the Baptist Church in Windsor, Berkshire.
The portrait is set in a burnished bezel bracelet clasp attached to a modern black silk velvet ribbon.
