1606 1660 Harrison Major Parliamentary
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures Major-General Thomas Harrison, a pivotal figure in the Parliamentary army during the English Civil War. Born in 1606, Harrison rose through the ranks to become a trusted military commander under Oliver Cromwell. His military career began in the early 1640s, and he saw action in several key battles, including Marston Moor and Naseby. Harrison's military prowess and strategic acumen were instrumental in securing Parliamentary victories against the Royalist forces of King Charles I. He was known for his disciplined approach to military tactics and his ability to inspire loyalty and dedication in his troops. Despite his successes on the battlefield, Harrison's life was not without its challenges. He was captured by the Royalists in 1648 and spent several months in captivity before being released in a prisoner exchange. Undeterred, he continued to serve the Parliamentary cause, eventually being appointed as the Governor of Newcastle upon Tyne in 1650. This print, produced in the late 19th or early 20th century, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of political upheaval and military conflict. Harrison's stern expression and military attire serve as a reminder of the sacrifices and dedication required to shape the course of history. The intricate detail of the print, from the folds in Harrison's cloak to the texture of his beard, invites us to explore the rich history of the English Civil War and the men who shaped its outcome.
