Etching, rare; sheet 170 x 130mm (6¾ x 5"). Tipped into album sheet with small portrait.
The Independent Minister Hugh Peters (bap.1598-d.1660) introduces the four Dutch ambassadors Paulus van der Perre, Willem Nieupoort, Allard Peter Jongstall, and Hieronymus Berverningk to Secretary of State John Thurloe (bap.1616-d.1668). Beverningk presents a petition for peace during the First Anglo-Dutch War (1652-4). Thurloe was secretary of state from 1652-8 and his intelligence work both at home and abroad were crucial for the protectoral regime. He took part in negotiations with the Dutch ambassadors in autumn 1653 and thereafter he was the protectoral council's conduit to Nieupoort, the resident ambassador, and he was part of the negotiating team for the maritime treaty. Frontispiece to Henry Stubbe, 'A Further Justification of the Present War against the United Netherlands' (1673), published during the third Anglo-Dutch war (1672-4).
For a portrait of Thurloe see ref. 24244.
