John Bradshaw (1602-1659): A Colored Engraving of an English Judge from the 17th Century This colored engraving depicts John Bradshaw (1602-1659), an English judge who played a significant role in the political and legal landscape of 17th-century England. The image, a copy by S. Freeman from an original drawing, showcases Bradshaw's stern yet intelligent expression, framed by a fur-lined hat and a long, flowing goatee. His high-collared fur-trimmed coat and fur-lined cape add to the grandeur of the portrait, emphasizing his high station in society. Bradshaw served as President of the High Court of Justice during the English Civil War and was instrumental in the trial and subsequent execution of King Charles I in 1649. His role in these events made him a controversial figure in British history, with some viewing him as a hero of the republican cause and others as a ruthless judge. Despite the controversy surrounding his actions, this engraving captures the essence of Bradshaw as a man of his time – a man of the law who wore the trappings of power and authority with pride. The intricate details of the engraving, from the delicate folds of his clothing to the individual strands of his hair, serve as a testament to the skill of the engraver and the artistry of the original drawing. This colored engraving offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to an age of political upheaval and legal intrigue in England. It serves as a reminder of the complexities of history and the enduring power of art to capture the essence of a person and an era.
