Governor Dudley



The governor appointed a new Senator (center) since the current one wants to leave for a Cabinet job nobody can quite define. Former Gov. Joseph Dudley (1686-1687, 1702-1716) looked on. Fantastic wig.

According to wikipedia, colonists so disliked Gov. Dudley a treatise was published in London in 1708 entitled "The Deplorable State of New England by reason of a Covetous and Treacherous Governor and Pusillanimous Counsellors."
