A print, of a portrait of John Mytton, was published by Ackerman in 1847 – 13 years after the squire's death. These were marked "JOHN MYTTON ESQ. HALSTON SALOP ~ from an original picture in the possession of John Bishton Minor Esq. Astley House Pradoe, guardian of JFG Mytton, this engraving of his ward's late father" When the print was published John jnr would have been 24 years old and would have inherited what was left of the estate. There is also a well known portrait of Mytton on horseback, by William Webb, and numerous illustrations, by H. Alken and T.J. Rawlins, appear in Nimrod's "Life of John Mytton".
