[Sir James Turner] Vera Effigies Jacobi Turner Equitis Aurati.
R. White Sculp.
Printed for R. Chiswell at the Rose and Crowne in St Pauls Church Yard [n.d., 1683].
Engraving, J. Whatman 17? watermark; Sheet 235 x 150mm (9¼ x 6"). Trimmed to plate, laid on album paper with letterpress biography underneath.
Sir James Turner (1615-c.1686), Scottish professional soldier who fought for the Swedes in the invasion of Bavaria in 1632 and the Thirty Years' War, and both the Scottish Covenanting army and the Royalists during the Civil War. After the Restoration, promoted to general, he helped supress the Lowland Covenanters, provoking the Pentland Uprising in 1666, during which he was captured at Dumfries. Often threatened with execution, he survived, perhaps because his captors knew he had been criticised for leniency by his superiors. This portrait was published as the frontispiece portrait to his 'Pallas Armata', essays on classical and modern warfare.
