EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the portrait of Colonel Robert Lilburne, an influential figure during the English Civil War. Painted in 1650 by Samuel Cooper, this oval-shaped miniature captures the essence of a man who played a significant role in shaping England's history. Colonel Lilburne was not only a dedicated soldier but also served as a judge at the trial of King Charles I. He boldly signed Charles' death warrant, making him one of the key figures involved in the regicide. However, when Charles II ascended to power and monarchy was restored in 1660, Lilburne found himself on the wrong side of history. Despite surrendering himself and facing trial for his actions, fate dealt him a different hand. Instead of execution, he was imprisoned where he ultimately met his demise. His story is one that reflects both bravery and tragedy within turbulent times. This print serves as a reminder of Lilburne's legacy and his unwavering commitment to his beliefs during this tumultuous period in English history. It allows us to glimpse into the past and appreciate how individuals like Lilburne shaped their country's destiny through their actions. Displayed prominently within The Saturday Book from 1947 edited by Leonard Russell, this image continues to captivate viewers with its historical significance and artistic beauty even after centuries have passed since Colonel Robert Lilburne walked upon English soil.
