John Thurloe and his son Richard Thurloe - Obituary 1668, 1813
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating engraving by Robert Dunkarton, showcasing the prominent figures of John Thurloe and his son Richard Thurloe. John Thurloe, depicted on the left, was a significant historical figure during the English Civil War era, serving as Secretary of State to Oliver Cromwell, the Lord Protector of the Commonwealth. His son, Richard Thurloe, is shown on the right. The black and white image, taken from Samuel Woodburn's "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," offers a glimpse into the fashion of the 17th century. John Thurloe is dressed in the attire of a high-ranking politician, wearing a ruff collar, a long-sleeved shirt, and a knee-length coat. His son, Richard, wears a similar outfit, but with a simpler design, reflecting his status as a younger male. This engraving is a testament to the political climate of the time, with John Thurloe playing a crucial role in the Parliamentarian cause during the English Civil War. The image serves as a reminder of the pivotal role he played in shaping the political landscape of England during the Commonwealth period. The inclusion of his son in the portrait highlights the intergenerational impact of political service and the importance of family during this tumultuous era in British history. The image is a valuable historical document, providing insight into the fashion and political climate of 17th century England. It is a must-have for any collection focused on British history, the English Civil War, or political portraits. The intricate detail and masterful execution of the engraving make it a stunning addition to any display or collection.
