Engraving on paper
William Ridley, after Henry Edridge, 1792

This engraving of John Wesley was engraved shortly after Wesley's passing in 1791. There was a great demand for commemorative images and mementoes of Wesley, and many engravings and works in ceramic were produced.

John Wesley's academic title is listed as 'A.M.' in Latin for 'Artium Magister'; today, the title would be 'M.A.' (Master of Arts).
