Description: Angleterre_120 1842 portrait print OLIVER CROMWELL, LORD PROTECTOR OF ENGLAND, SCOTLAND AND IRELAND (#120) Print from steel engraving titled ANGLETERRE (Republique) - Ollivier Cromwell, published in a volume of L'Univers Pittoresque, Paris, approx. page size 21 x 13 cm, approx. image size 13 x 9 cm, nice hand coloring. Cromwell, Oliver born April 25, 1599, Huntingdon, Huntingdonshire, Eng. died Sept. 3, 1658, London English soldier and statesman who led parliamentary forces in the English Civil Wars; he was lord protector of England, Scotland, and Ireland from 1653 to 1658 during the republican Commonwealth. As one of the generals on the parliamentary side in the English Civil War against King Charles I, Cromwell helped to bring about the overthrow of the Stuart monarchy, and, as lord protector, he raised his country's status once more to that of a leading European power from the decline it had gone through since the death of Queen Elizabeth I. A man of outstanding gifts and a forceful character, he was one of the most remarkable rulers in modern European history, for although a convinced Calvinist, he believed deeply in the value of religious toleration. At the same time Cromwell's victories at home and abroad helped to enlarge and sustain a Puritan attitude of mind, both in Great Britain and in North America, that continued to influence political and social life until recent times.
