EDITORS COMMENTS
Sir John Coke, Secretary of State under Charles I (1604-1642) is depicted in this striking black and white engraving by Robert Dunkarton, created in 1813. Coke served as a trusted advisor and key figure in the English government during the early part of Charles I's reign. He was a prominent administrator and played a significant role in naval warfare and defense policies. Coke is shown wearing the fashionable attire of the seventeenth century, including a high-collared neck ruff and ornate clothing. The portrait conveys a sense of authority and dignity, reflecting Coke's important position in the court of King Charles I, who was also known as "Charles I, King of Great Britain and Ireland," and "Charles Stuart." At the time, England was embroiled in various conflicts, including the Thirty Years' War in Europe and the Bishops' Wars in Scotland. Coke's role as Secretary of State involved managing diplomatic relations with foreign powers and overseeing military operations. His contributions were crucial in defending the country during this tumultuous period. The portrait is part of the collection "Portraits of characters illustrious in British History from the beginning of the reign of Henry the Eighth to the end of the reign of James the Second," published in London in 1815. This engraving offers a valuable glimpse into the past, providing insight into the appearance and occupation of a pivotal historical figure.
