EDITORS COMMENTS
In this black and white portrait, we see Admiral Robert Blake, a prominent figure in English naval history. Painted by James Mollison in 1860, the print captures the essence of this legendary sailor who commanded Oliver Cromwell's navy during the English Civil War. Robert Blake, born in 1599 and passing away in 1657, was widely recognized for his exceptional skills as a seaman. As one of England's most renowned admirals, he played a crucial role in shaping naval warfare during the seventeenth century. The engraving showcases Blake's stern expression and commanding presence. His roundhead hairstyle symbolizes his allegiance to Parliamentarians during the turbulent times of civil unrest. This portrait serves as a testament to his unwavering dedication to defending his country against all odds. Meticulously captured by Mollison with remarkable attention to detail, this nineteenth-century print transports us back to an era defined by conflict and bravery on the high seas. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth and intensity to Admiral Blake's character while emphasizing the gravity of his position within England's naval forces. This historical artifact from The Print Collector collection reminds us of Admiral Robert Blake's significant contributions that shaped both military strategy and English history itself.
