EDITORS COMMENTS
Admiral William Penn (1621-1670), one of Cromwell's most distinguished naval commanders, is depicted in this 1811 engraving by Charles Turner. Penn served in the Anglo-Dutch Wars and played a significant role in the English Civil Wars, particularly during the First English Civil War as a Roundhead commander and a Member of Parliament. He was a key figure in the naval warfare of the time, leading the Parliamentarian fleet to several victories against the Royal Navy. The image shows Penn in his full admiral's regalia, wearing a voluminous black coat with gold lacing and a white shirt with a ruff collar. His hat, adorned with a black feather, sits atop his head, and a sword hangs at his side. The background is simple, with a plain, dark backdrop that allows the intricacies of Penn's apparel to stand out. Penn's career was marked by political as well as military accomplishments. He was knighted by Oliver Cromwell in 1654 and served as a Member of Parliament from 1656 to 1659. His military prowess and political influence made him a formidable figure during the English Civil Wars and the Restoration period. This portrait, originally from the collection "Portraits of characters illustrious in British History from the beginning of the reign of Henry the Eighth to the end of the reign of James the Second," provides a glimpse into the fashion and politics of the seventeenth century. The image is a testament to Penn's significant contributions to British history and his enduring legacy as a military and political leader.
