EDITORS COMMENTS
Sir Thomas Twisden, Baronet (1666-1682): A Portrait of a Prominent 17th Century British Politician and Judge This black and white engraving is a portrait of Sir Thomas Twisden, Baronet, who was born in 1666. Twisden held a distinguished career in British history, serving as a Justice of the King's Bench until 1680 and as a Member of Parliament. The portrait, created by Charles Turner in 1812, is taken from Samuel Woodburn's publication "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. Twisden is depicted in the portrait wearing the formal attire of the time, including a long, flowing robe and a white collar. The intricate details of his clothing and the high-quality engraving technique used by Turner provide a glimpse into the fashion and style of the 17th century. The portrait also reflects Twisden's position as a prominent figure in British politics and the law. Twisden's career in politics began in earnest when he was elected as a Member of Parliament in the late 17th century. He served in this capacity until his death in 1682. Prior to his political career, Twisden had already made a name for himself as a respected judge, serving as a Justice of the King's Bench from 1680 until his resignation. Despite his accomplishments, Twisden's portrait remains a reminder of a bygone era, a time when formal attire and political titles held great significance in British society. The portrait also serves as a testament to the skill of the artist, Charles Turner, who was able to capture the essence of a man who played an important role in British history.
