Thomas Cockson
Edit ProfileCareer
His first and most recognizable work is one for John Harington"s version of Ariosto"s Orlando Furioso and his latest, one depicting musketeers and pike men, which depicts on either side the coats of arms of various captains of the time. Among his works are James I, sitting in parliament, Princess Elizabeth, daughter of James I, Charles I sitting in parliament, Charles Howard, Earl of Nottingham, on horseback, George Clifford, Earl of Cumberland, on horseback, Louis XIII, Marie de Médicis, Mathias I, Emperor of Germany, Demetrius, Emperor of Russia, Concini, Marquis d"Ancre (1617), Henri Bourbon, Prince de Condé, Francis White, Dean of Carlisle (1624), Samuel Daniel, the Court Poet (1609), John Taylor, the Water Poet (title-page to his poems, 1630), Thomas Coryat, and many others Thomas Cockson often signed his prints with his initials interlaced.
Hence it is difficult to distinguish them from those of Thomas Cross or Thomas Cecil (1630), who each used a similar monogram.
