NOTES ON THE ARTWORK
In 1719 Gibbons was nominated to become Master of the Drapers’ Company (having served in the role of all of the various wardens of the Company). This entry in the Minutes book for the Court of Assistants 1705-1742 records Gibbons’ nomination alongside Edward Becher. Gibbons, however, was not elected, presumably as Becher was an Alderman of the City of London.
