Birthplace of Addison, 1844. Creator: Unknown
Birthplace of Addison, 1844. The house where British writer and politician Joseph Addison was born. Milston, the birth-place of Addison, is a retired village, containing only 107 inhabitants, and is distant a few miles from the town of Amesbury, in Wiltshire. The Essayists father, who was Dean of Lichfield, was also Rector of the parish, and here, in the Rectory-house, on the 1st of May, 1672, the celebrated author of " The Spectator" was born. Our sketch represents the house in its present state of repair; but even in the days of Addison, it must have been a very humble abode. From " Illustrated London News", 1844, Vol I

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the birthplace of one of Britain's most renowned writers and politicians, Joseph Addison. The image showcases the modest house in Milston, a quiet village nestled in the picturesque countryside of Wiltshire. With only 107 inhabitants, this retired hamlet is located just a few miles away from the bustling town of Amesbury. The Rectory-house depicted here was where Joseph Addison entered this world on May 1st, 1672. His father served as both Dean of Lichfield and Rector of the parish at that time. Even though our sketch portrays the house in its present state of repair, it is evident that even during Addison's days, it must have been a humble abode. As we gaze upon this engraving from "Illustrated London News" dating back to 1844, we can't help but imagine young Joseph Addison growing up amidst the rustic charm and tranquility of rural life. This image provides us with a glimpse into his formative years and offers insight into how his surroundings may have influenced his later works. With its historical significance and connection to an influential figure like Joseph Addison, this print serves as a testament to British regionalism and Victorian heritage. It allows us to appreciate not only the physical structure itself but also invites contemplation about how our environment shapes who we become.
