EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable "Portrait of Lieutenant General John Lambert" engraved by Jacobus Houbraken, a renowned artist from the 18th century. The portrait itself is a testament to the skill and talent of both the engraver and the subject. Lieutenant General John Lambert, depicted in this stunning artwork, was an influential figure during the English Civil War. As a parliamentary general, he played a significant role in shaping England's history during this tumultuous period. However, after the Restoration, Lambert faced banishment to Guernsey as political tides shifted. The image captures Lambert's commanding presence with great detail and precision. Clad in his armor, he exudes strength and determination while gazing directly at the viewer. A cherub adorns his side, symbolizing divine protection or perhaps representing victory achieved through military prowess. Preserved within Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, this extraordinary piece offers us a glimpse into history that transcends time. It serves as a reminder of not only Lieutenant General John Lambert's legacy but also of the artistic mastery employed by Jacobus Houbraken. As we admire this print today, we are transported back to an era where power struggles shaped nations and individuals fought for their beliefs on battlefields. This engraving encapsulates both historical significance and artistic excellence – truly deserving its place among esteemed works of art from around the world.
