EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the "Portrait of John Standing" an engraving by the English School in the 19th century. The photograph, part of a private collection, captures the essence of John Standing, known as the Brighton matchman, who passed away on February 9th, 1833 at the age of 82. In this portrait, we see a weathered yet dignified man standing proudly with his walking sticks. His face tells a story of resilience and determination earned through years spent as a street vendor in East Sussex. John Standing was one among many match sellers who frequented Brighton Beach and New Brighton during that era. The fine details captured in this engraving allow us to appreciate not only his physical appearance but also his character. The lines etched into his face reveal a life filled with hardships and challenges overcome. It is evident that he possessed an unwavering spirit despite facing adversity. This portrait serves as both a historical record and a celebration of ordinary people like John Standing who played significant roles within their communities. Through this image, we are transported back to early 19th-century England where street vendors were an integral part of daily life. Bridgeman Images has beautifully preserved this piece from Fine Art Finder's Valerie Jackson Harris Collection for all to admire and reflect upon the lives lived by those often forgotten by history books.
