EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print depicts Henry Jenkins, a man who defied the limits of age and lived an astonishing 169 years. Born in 1501, Jenkins started his life as a fisherman before becoming a beggar later on. His self-proclaimed status as a supercentenarian made him an intriguing figure in society. The artist, Robert Cooper, skillfully captured the essence of this remarkable individual in his stipple engraving. The fine details and intricate lines showcase Jenkins' weathered face and worn-out appearance, reflecting the hardships he endured throughout his long life. Published in John Camden Hotten's Book of Wonderful Characters, Memoirs and Anecdotes of Remarkable and Eccentric Persons from all ages and countries, this lithograph serves as both a historical record and testament to human curiosity. It offers viewers a glimpse into the strange yet fascinating aspects of society during that time period. As we gaze upon this image today, we are reminded of the passage of time and our own mortality. Henry Jenkins' story is not only one of longevity but also one that sparks intrigue and wonderment about what it means to live such an extraordinary life. This print serves as a window into history—a reminder that even amidst the challenges faced by individuals like Henry Jenkins, there is always room for resilience and perseverance.
