EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the illustrious Robert Blake, a renowned English admiral of the 17th century. The engraving, part of Lord Brougham's publication "Old Englands Worthies" was created around 1880 by an anonymous artist from the English School. In this portrait, Blake exudes strength and determination as he gazes directly at the viewer. His weathered face tells tales of countless battles fought at sea, while his piercing eyes reflect a resolute spirit that propelled him to become one of England's most celebrated naval commanders. As a prominent figure in history, Blake played a significant role during the tumultuous period known as the English Civil War. A staunch puritan and parliamentarian, he aligned himself with Oliver Cromwell's Roundhead faction against King Charles I and his royalist supporters. The image captures not only Blake's military prowess but also his unwavering commitment to his cause. Dressed in traditional seafaring attire, complete with a tricorn hat and naval uniform adorned with medals, he personifies bravery and authority. This remarkable illustration is now part of a private collection but remains accessible for admirers worldwide thanks to www. bridgemanimages. com. It serves as a reminder of Robert Blake's indelible mark on British history—a testament to his legacy as both an exceptional sailor and an influential leader during times of great upheaval.
