and the latter was engraved by William Camden Edwards), Norris, the king's frame-maker (a picture much praised by Sir Peter Lely), John Cleveland, Sir Kenelm Digby, and Jasper Latham, the sculptor. Horace Walpole wrote that "in his historic compositions Fuller is a wretched painter: his colouring was raw and unnatural, and not compensated by disposition or invention", but praised his portraits, in which "his pencil was bold strong and masterly". Escape of Charles II after the Battle of Worcester Fuller painted five large pictures on wood, representing the escape of Charles II after the Battle of Worcester. Each painting is high; they range in width between 6 ft. and wide. The circumstances of their commissioning is undocumented, but they were sold in February 1743/4 with a collection of pictures said to have belonged to Rachel Carey, Viscountess Falkland, and may have been painted for her first husband, Henry Carey, 4th Viscount Falkland, who was elected M.P. for Oxford following the death of Richard Cromwell, and was in the party which escorted Charles II back to England before his coronation. If this is so, they would date from before Carey's death in April 1663. The paintings were presented to the Parliament of Ireland and subsequently discovered in a state of neglect by Lord Clanbrassil, who had them repaired, and moved them to Tullamore Park, County Down. They were purchased by the National Portrait Gallery in London in 1979. Etchings Fuller made some etchings, including some plates of Tritons and mythological subjects in the style of François Perrier. In 1654 he published a set of etchings entitled Un libro di designare. In Thomas Fuller's Pisgah-sight of Palestine there is a large folding plate of Jewish costumes, etched by Isaac Fuller. He may also have executed the plan of Jerusalem in the same book, on which the words Fuller's Field are written in English. Death Fuller died in Bloomsbury Square, London, on 17 July 1672. Isaac Fuller the Younger He left a son, who, according to George Vertue worked mostly as a coach-painter.
