EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures John Thurloe, the renowned author of State Papers from 1616 to 1668. In this engraving by Robert Dunkarton, we see a dignified and thoughtful portrait of Thurloe, who was not only an influential figure in British history but also played a crucial role as Secretary to the council of state during Protectorate England. Thurloe's significance extends beyond his administrative duties; he was also a spymaster for Oliver Cromwell, making him an essential player in espionage and international relations during his time. His expertise in diplomacy and foreign affairs made him a trusted civil servant and public servant. This mezzotint engraving is based on a drawing by John Bullfinch after an original picture from Richard Earlom and Charles Turners Portraits of Characters Illustrious in British History Engraved in Mezzotinto. Published by S. Woodburn in London in 1813, it showcases the talent and skill of both the artist and engraver. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to the seventeenth century when Britain was undergoing significant political changes. Thurloe's presence reminds us of the importance of individuals like him who shaped history through their dedication to their country. This print serves as a reminder that even centuries later, figures like John Thurloe continue to inspire us with their contributions to society.
