| Description |
Sir Brooke Boothby, 6th Baronet. Sir Brooke Boothby was a minor poet and landowner in Derbyshire. He was part of the many people in the intellectual circles of Lichfield who welcomed Jean-Jacques Rousseau to England in 1766-7. After his return from exile Boothby visited Rousseau in Paris where he obtained a copy of his autobiography. Boothby was instrumental in the book being published in Lichfield in 1780 after the authors death. Many well-off people had their portraits rendered by Joseph Wright of Derby and Boothby's unusual portrait shows a copy of that book. |
