Oliver Cromwell (1599-1658), 19th century. Artist: JJ Crew
Oliver Cromwell (1599-1658), 19th century. Cromwell was a Member of Parliament at the outbreak of the English Civil War in 1642. As one of the judges at the trial of King Charles I in 1649, Cromwell signed the kings death warrant and became Lord Protector of England in 1653. He died in 1668 and was succeeded as Lord Protector by his son, Richard. Although Richard was not entirely without ability, he had no power base in either Parliament or the Army and was forced to resign in May 1659, bringing the Protectorate to an end. In the period immediately following his abdication the head of the army, George Monck, took power for less than a year, at which point Parliament restored Charles II as king. One of Charles first acts was to exhume Cromwells body from Westminster Abbey and hang it from the gallows at Tyburn; his head was set on a pole on top of Westminster Hall

EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the stern countenance of Oliver Cromwell, a prominent figure in 17th century English history. Created by artists JJ Crew and JL Williams, this print showcases Cromwell's likeness as he appeared during the 19th century. Cromwell's legacy is deeply intertwined with the tumultuous events of the English Civil War. As a Member of Parliament at its outbreak in 1642, he played a pivotal role in leading Parliamentarian forces against King Charles I. His involvement reached its climax when he signed the king's death warrant and became Lord Protector of England in 1653. However, Cromwell's rule was not without challenges. After his death in 1668, his son Richard struggled to maintain power as Lord Protector due to lack of support from both Parliament and the Army. This led to his resignation in May 1659, marking an end to the Protectorate. In this period of political uncertainty following Richard's abdication, George Monck briefly assumed power before ultimately restoring Charles II as king upon Parliament's decision. In an act symbolizing revenge for their fallen monarch, one of Charles' first actions was exhuming Cromwell's body from Westminster Abbey and displaying it on gallows at Tyburn while placing his head atop Westminster Hall. This print serves as a reminder of Oliver Cromwell’s complex role as a statesman and military leader during one of England’s most turbulent periods – forever etching him into history books alongside his controversial fate after death.
