Seeking desc. of John Streater (1620-77), English Civil War for portrait likeness
Posting with Dom's permission...
My name is Dom Ramos, I am an artist of murals living in Lewes, East Sussex, England. I have been commissioned to paint 14 portraits of famous historical figures of the town, including John Streater (1620-77), the printer, polemicist and quartermaster-general of the New Model Army at the time of the English Civil War, born in Lewes and died in debtors' prison in London.
I wondered if you have been able to establish any descendants from him, as there are no known likenesses of the great Parliamentarian, so I want to make an amalgam of any descendents' faces to " reconstruct" a possible one, so to speak. If there are indeed any descendants, could you please pass on thier emails or pass mine on to them with a copy of this email? Your help would be much appreciated, and I will also send a free colour print of the finished result to any Streater/Streeter who wishes to cooperate with my project.
Many Thanks in advance,
Dom Ramos (domramos@btinternet.com)
