Olier Cromwell's letters and speeches
Olier Cromwell's letters and speeches is a collected edition of Oliver Cromwell's letters and speeches, edited by Thomas Carlyle and published in New York by the Continental Press, with a subject record covering the Commonwealth and Protectorate period in Britain from 1649 to 1660. The single picture is a black and white halftone reproduction of a formal seventeenth-century portrait of a armoured man beside a young boy in dark clothing, set against a dark drapery; its dense tonal modelling of polished steel and shadowed cloth suggests a strong monochrome study in light and texture for a designer working on period or historical material.
