Antique Engraving – Rev. Thomas Manton, Prominent Puritan Theologian 1806

Fine antique hand-coloured engraving of Rev. Thomas Manton (1620–1677), a distinguished English Puritan preacher and theologian, admired for his intellectual depth, eloquence, and steadfast religious convictions during the tumultuous era of the English Civil War and Restoration.
Published in 1806 by G. Jones, this portrait depicts Manton in typical nonconformist clerical attire, with his iconic preaching bands and cap. Beneath the portrait is a symbolic vignette featuring an open Bible, theological volumes, and a box marked IHS—a reference to the Holy Name of Jesus—highlighting his legacy as a prolific and influential commentator on Scripture.
