Colonel John Lilburne is a 1649 ink by Unknown 19th Century, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This engraving shows a man in a long coat and boots standing behind a wooden pulpit. He holds an open book labeled "Cocker" in one hand while gesturing with the other. Above him are two circular seals with names and symbols, and the words "The names of the Jury of Life and Death" are written at the top. The book he’s holding might be a legal text, since his posture looks like he’s addressing a crowd. The two seals above him likely represent authority figures from his time. Next, look up engraving to see how artists carved these detailed lines.
