EDITORS COMMENTS
In this lithograph, we are transported back in time to witness a historic meeting between two influential figures: Robert Blake and Oliver Cromwell. The scene takes place in the Council Room of Whitehall, England, where power and politics intertwine. Robert Blake, an esteemed admiral known for his strategic brilliance, stands tall before Oliver Cromwell. As one of the key military commanders during the English Civil War, Blake's presence commands respect and admiration. His purposeful visit to Cromwell signifies an important discussion or consultation that could shape the destiny of their nation. Oliver Cromwell himself is depicted as a formidable figure seated at a grand table adorned with maps and documents. A soldier turned statesman, he played a pivotal role in overthrowing the monarchy and establishing the Commonwealth of England. With his intense gaze fixed upon Blake, it is evident that this encounter holds great significance for both men. The artist Edward Frederick Skinner masterfully captures the gravity of this historical moment through intricate details and skillful use of light and shadow. The engraving technique adds depth to each stroke, enhancing our perception of these iconic personalities. This lithograph was originally created as an illustration for "Little Treasure Island" by Arthur Mee around 1920. It serves as a reminder not only of Britain's rich history but also its enduring legacy shaped by remarkable individuals like Robert Blake and Oliver Cromwell. As we gaze upon this print from Fine Art Finder's private collection today, we cannot help but be transported back in time – witnessing firsthand how these two extraordinary men came together within those hallowed walls to shape their nation's future.
