EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases John Thurlow, the esteemed Secretary to Oliver Cromwell, in 1784. The creator of this remarkable portrait remains unknown, adding an air of mystery to this historical figure's image. John Thurloe (1616-1668) served as secretary to the council of state during Protectorate England under Oliver Cromwell's rule. His role expanded in 1653 when he became head of intelligence, establishing a vast network of spies that aided him in his duties. This engraving is featured in "The History of England" by Paul de Rapin-Thoyras, published by Harrison in London. In this oval-shaped frame, Thurlow gazes away from the viewer with a sense of purpose and determination etched on his face. Dressed impeccably in eighteenth-century attire with a distinguished collar, he embodies the essence of a man dedicated to his profession and country. Thurloe's significance lies not only as an intelligence officer but also as a lawyer and key figure during the Protectorate era. As Lord Protector Oliver Cromwell's trusted confidant, he played an instrumental role in shaping English history. This historic photograph provides us with a glimpse into the life and occupation of one man who held immense power behind-the-scenes - John Thurlow: spy master extraordinaire and loyal servant to Oliver Cromwell's Commonwealth.
