An antique British etching and engraving print by Anonymous. Depicts a tyrannical Oliver Cromwell, 1599 to 1658, later Lord Protector of the Commonwealth, presiding over the destruction of the Royall Oake of Brittayne, representing the constitution based upon the Crown, the Church and the law. Standing on a locus lubricus, an armored Cromwell directs the ignorant multitude to cut down the Royall Oake, from one branch of which hangs Magna Charta, the Statutes and Edward Cokes Reportes. Originally published by the pamphleteer and Member of Parliament, Clement Walker, 1595 to 1651, under the pseudonym Theodorus Verax in Anarchia Anglicana, 1649. Matted and framed.
