Blank greetings card with envelope featuring:

King Charles I; Sir Edward Walker NPG 1961

by Unknown artist

Charles I was a brave soldier and by the standards of the Civil War, a competent general. Walker, 'a very importunate, ambitious and foolish man, that studies nothing but his own ends', wearing his badge as Garter King-of-Arms, is shown as the King's Secretary-at-War, a post he also held under Charles II in exile. The scene is probably intended to represent one of the West Country campaigns of 1644-5, with what is perhaps a skirmish in front of Winchester in the background.
