EDITORS COMMENTS
Sir Thomas Wharton, a prominent figure during the reign of Charles I, is depicted in this stunning handcolored engraving after the famous portrait by Anthony Van Dyck. The image is taken from "Civil Costume of England from the Conquest to the Present Period," an illustrative masterpiece drawn by Charles Martin and etched by Leopold Martin. The father-son duo were renowned artists in their own right, following in the footsteps of their father, the romantic artist and mezzotint engraver, John Martin. Sir Thomas Wharton is depicted here in the fashion of the 17th century, wearing a buff coat with intricate embroidery, a plumed hat, and a gorget around his neck. He carries a sword in one hand and a cane in the other, exuding an air of authority and power. The engraving captures the essence of the era, providing a glimpse into the fashion and style of the time. The costumes for this illustration were meticulously drawn from various sources, including tapestries, monumental effigies, illuminated manuscripts, and portraits. The attention to detail is evident in the intricate patterns and textures of the clothing, as well as the realistic rendering of Sir Thomas Wharton's facial features. This beautiful engraving is not only a testament to the artistic skill of the Martin family but also a valuable historical record of the fashion and culture of the 17th century in England. It serves as a reminder of the rich history and heritage that continues to inspire and captivate us today.
