Henrik Stampe, Johan Preissler, engraver (printmaker), 1793, Denmark, engraving, It is entirely appropriate that Ditlev Monrad, as a recent prime minister of Denmark, should possess in his print collection an engraved portrait of one of his illustrious predecessors, Henrik Stampe (1713-89), latinised in its title as 'Henricus'. Like Monrad, Stampe was highly learned but a jurist and philosopher rather than a Lutheran bishop. The elderly, obviously toothless Stampe, portrayed posthumously in this engraving by Johann Preissler, was no great beauty, yet he appears thoroughly alert, intelligent and dignified. Stampe wears a broad riband over his right shoulder and a large breast-star on his right breast, the Order of the Dannebrog (Denmark), with the monogram of King Christian V.
