EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic Seal of the Protectorate, featuring a powerful representation of Oliver Cromwell on horseback. Dating back to the 17th century, this intricate seal is a testament to England's tumultuous past during the English Civil War. The reverse side of the seal showcases a portrait of Cromwell himself, highlighting his role as an influential English military leader and politician. The image comes from Samuel Rawson Gardiner's renowned book "Oliver Cromwell" published in 1899 by Goupil & Co in London, Paris, and New York. It offers us a glimpse into this significant period in history when political power was consolidated under Cromwell's leadership as Lord Protector. Cromwell's presence on horseback symbolizes his authority and strength during these turbulent times. As we observe this print, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by soldiers who fought alongside him for their country. Through its monochrome aesthetic, this photograph evokes a sense of nostalgia for the 19th-century viewers who first encountered it. Today, it serves as both an artistic depiction and historical documentation that allows us to reflect upon one man's impact on shaping England's destiny centuries ago.
