| | | Westminster Assembly Portrait
[img:28ee246ec2]http://www.westminsterassembly.org/images/westminster_assembly.jpg[/img:28ee246ec2]
Does any one know who painted this famous portraitof the Assembly? And how can I get a copy or reprint of it? I can't seem to find it anywhere.

Did you email the site you found it on? I saw that portrait there too. Let me know if you find out, I wouldn't mind having a copy of it too.

I don't know the artist . I have a couple books by THomas Watson with the picture on it. It calls the picture [i:f9c91c92f9]The Westminster Assembly in session[/i:f9c91c92f9]. But no other info is given. I guess I could email Banner of Truth. They might know.

The only thing I could find patrick is it may have been an Artist named Robert White, He did several portraits of the Puritans.

That one IS elusive! I found several copies of the picture online (one in color on a reformed church website) using google Image search. The National Portrait Gallery in England has 14 pages of Robert White lithographs, many of well known Puritans & contemporaries, but no Westminster Assembly! Like others of you, I'd love to get a copy. I'll have to keep watching this thread, and... keep looking!

A print of the Westminster Assembly is hanging in "our" room at my mother-in-law's where we are staying to take care of her. The details are somewhere at home, so I do not have ready access to them.
Contact the Palace of Westminster in London. The original is hanging there and they have a photographer who does the prints. Mine, the next to largest size, is about 21" X 13" and came to £50 with shipping. (Fortunately I had a left over traveler's check from a trip to the UK that I used.) If several people express an interest, maybe someone can pickup the ball for a group buy.

Patrick,
The [u:b992193a88]site[/u:b992193a88] where you got the picture from looks interesting. They say that the project should be ready for production in 2006. Sounds like it'd be interesting reading.

Bob,
I can't wait for them to publish those documents. We need them. Too bad it will not be sooner.

Does anyone have the book by Watson which has the color portrait? If you have that and a scanner, I could create, using my software, a huge color portrait. Anyone?

That one looks good Matt but it's just a bit hazy. Could just be my monitor though. There are three books which have the picture on it. It's an older Banner of Truth reprints (1976) of Watsons, Body of Divinity (blue tinted), The Lord's Prayer (yellow tinted), and The Ten Commandments (purple tinted). The only problem is that the book titles are superimposed on the picture so it wouldn't be a good pic to scan. Plus they aren't color pics. They're just black and white prints tinted to the color of the book. I emailed BOT today so well see if they get back to me soon. Probably won't hear from them until at least Monday.

Scan it as big as you can. I will resize and adjust it here. We could have it printed at the printers on an 11 x 17 size. It won't be too exspensive, and it would be framing quality.
Send it when you can!

It would take a little editing it has the book title right above the speakers head, but I'll send it maybe you can work with it.

Wow. That looks cool, especially with the guide indentifying everyone. But it's out of my price range...
