EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled 'Richard Cromwell; born 1626, Obit 1712', is an exquisite engraving by the renowned English artist, Richard Earlom. The portrait showcases Richard Cromwell, the son of Oliver Cromwell, the Lord Protector of the Commonwealth of England, Scotland, and Ireland during the latter stages of the English Civil War. Born in 1626, Richard Cromwell assumed the position of Lord Protector following his father's death in 1658, but his tenure was brief and fraught with challenges. This portrait, created in 1811, is a testament to the historical significance of this enigmatic figure. Richard Cromwell is depicted here in seventeenth-century attire, wearing a black coat, white collar, and a birch henry, a type of hat commonly worn during this period. The monochrome palette of the print, with its intricate details and nuanced shading, adds to the timeless quality of the image. The print is part of the comprehensive 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', published in London in 1815 by Samuel Woodburn. The collection aimed to preserve the legacies of influential British figures, and this portrait of Richard Cromwell is a valuable addition to that endeavor. Richard Cromwell's story is a fascinating chapter in the annals of British history, marked by political intrigue, power struggles, and the complexities of leadership during times of war and social upheaval. This print, with its meticulous detail and historical accuracy, offers a glimpse into the life of this enigmatic figure and the era he inhabited.
