EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph showcases the Great Seal of England during the Commonwealth in 1651, a significant historical artifact. Created by Thomas Simon, this print offers a glimpse into an era dominated by Oliver Cromwell's rule. The seal itself takes the form of a map depicting both England and Ireland, symbolizing their united governance under Cromwell's regime. The intricate details of this litho are truly remarkable. A fleet of ships gracefully sail across the waters surrounding these lands, representing England's maritime power during that time. The circular emblem is adorned with inscriptions and symbols denoting its official status as the Great Seal. As we delve deeper into this image, we can appreciate how it encapsulates not only political significance but also artistic prowess. The careful engravings beautifully capture every contour and feature on the map, showcasing Simon's exceptional craftsmanship.

It invites us to reflect upon Cromwell's leadership and his impact on shaping English society at that time.
