Thomae Gresham Equi. Aura (Sir Thomas Gresham)

Delaram employed sharp lines and nuanced shading to achieve depth and detail, characteristic of Flemish-influenced English engraving of the early 17th century. The inclusion of musical cherubs and ornate background elements, including crests, reflects his training, possibly under Cornelis Boel.

Created in 1608, this engraving is part of Delaram's prolific output of portraits and illustrations, including work on William Camden’s *Historie*. Delaram, likely born in Flanders around 1590, was an English engraver active during a period of significant Flemish artistic influence in England.

The engraving situates Gresham within the cultural and economic elite of early 17th-century England, where merchant patrons like Gresham played crucial roles in urban development projects like the Royal Exchange.
