EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print showcases John Thurlow, a prominent figure in 17th-century England. Created by the talented artist Jacobus Houbraken and published by Knapton in London in 1742, this engraving captures the essence of Thurlow's character and importance during his time. John Thurloe was an English secretary to the council of state in Protectorate England and served as a trusted spymaster for Oliver Cromwell. His intelligence-gathering skills were highly regarded, making him an influential political figure and spy master during this tumultuous period. The oval-shaped frame adds a touch of elegance to this half-length portrait, emphasizing Thurlow's dignified presence. The intricate details captured by Houbraken bring out the depth of his personality, showcasing both strength and wisdom. As we gaze upon this artwork from centuries past, we are transported back to the interregnum era when political power shifted dramatically. This piece serves as a reminder of Thurlow's significant contributions to English history during that time. Now part of a private collection known as The Stapleton Collection, this engraving is not only aesthetically pleasing but also holds historical value. It allows us to appreciate the artistry involved while offering insight into one man's role in shaping Britain's destiny during the seventeenth century.
