Thomas Cockson

Thomas Cockson, or Coxon (bap. 1569 – fl. 1609-30 or 1636 – d. 1641), was one of the earliest English engravers. He left a large number of portraits engraved entirely with the graver in a neatly and finished manner. 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.
