Thomas, Lord Fairfax - Obit 1671
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a striking engraving by the renowned English engraver, Richard Earlom. The portrait depicts Thomas Fairfax, 3rd Lord Fairfax of Cameron (1612-1671), an English aristocrat and military commander who played a significant role in the English Civil War. Born into the noble Fairfax family, Lord Fairfax rose to prominence during the First English Civil War as a leader of the Parliamentarian forces, commanding the New Model Army. He was a key figure in the defeat of the Royalist forces and the eventual restoration of the English Parliament. In this portrait, Lord Fairfax is depicted in seventeenth-century attire, wearing a doublet, breeches, and a ruff at his neck. His military uniform, adorned with insignia and badges, signifies his status as a commander in the Parliamentarian army. The background is simple, with a plain, dark backdrop that emphasizes the subject's regal bearing and solemn expression. The portrait is taken from Samuel Woodburn's "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. Earlom's meticulous engraving captures the essence of Lord Fairfax's character, showcasing his strength, determination, and dignity. Lord Fairfax's legacy extends beyond the Civil War era, as he is remembered as a pivotal figure in English history. His military prowess and political acumen earned him the respect and admiration of his contemporaries, and his portrait continues to serve as a testament to his enduring influence. This image offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the world of seventeenth-century England and the complex political landscape of the time. It is a reminder of the rich history that shapes our present and the importance of understanding the past to inform our future.
