{"product_id":"portret-van-thomas-coke-charles-turner","title":"Portret van Thomas Coke - Charles Turner","description":"\u003cp\u003eA detailed 1821 stipple engraving of Thomas William Coke, featuring agricultural motifs and a decorative octagonal frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis stipple engraving depicts Thomas William Coke, a notable British politician and agricultural reformer, often referred to as Coke of Norfolk. The print is based on an earlier, larger portrait by Sir Thomas Lawrence, R.A., and was published in London on 1 February 1821 by T. Boys. The engraving process, specifically the stipple technique, allows for subtle gradations of tone and texture, which are evident in the rendering of the subject's features and the fabric of his coat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition is structured within an octagonal frame, a common device in early nineteenth-century portraiture to provide a sense of order and focus. Surrounding this frame are various symbolic elements that reflect the subject's life and interests. To the left, agricultural implements such as a sickle and sheaves of wheat are depicted, referencing Coke's significant contributions to farming practices and his role in the British Agricultural Revolution. To the right, a coat and hat hang, suggesting a domestic or informal setting. Above the portrait, a small vignette shows two figures in a rustic interior, further connecting the subject to rural life and the agrarian themes he championed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCharles Turner was a prolific engraver, known for his technical skill in mezzotint and stipple. This work, engraved by W. Fry with permission from Turner, demonstrates the high level of craftsmanship expected in professional printmaking during the Regency period. The paper shows signs of age, including light foxing, which is characteristic of prints from this era. The clear, precise lines and the balanced arrangement of the decorative elements around the central portrait provide a detailed visual record of a figure who held considerable influence in the political and agricultural spheres of early nineteenth-century Britain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/anger-thomas-rowlandson\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eAnger - Thomas Rowlandson — Thomas Rowlandson\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/death-of-pepe-illo-francisco-jose-de-goya-y-lucientes\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eDeath of Pepe Illo - Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes — Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Charles Turner","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58406558466383,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58406736003407,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58406736036175,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58406736068943,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58406736101711,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58406736134479,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58406736167247,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58406736200015,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58406736232783,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58406736265551,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58406736298319,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58406736331087,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Portret-van-Thomas-Coke_Poster_CompositorV1_1786076615760.jpg?v=1786078806","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/portret-van-thomas-coke-charles-turner","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
