EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant piece of literary history - a letter written by the renowned English romantic poet, John Keats, to his beloved younger sister, Fanny Keats. Dated 14 August 1820 and penned at Wentworth Place in Hampstead, London, this heartfelt correspondence reveals Keats' delicate state of health and his plans to visit Italy. In the letter, Keats mentions that he is currently staying as a guest of Mrs. Brawne while battling with illness. Despite his sickness, his affectionate words towards his sister shine through the tender handwriting on the page. The bond between these siblings is palpable as he discusses future plans and extends an invitation for Fanny to spend the winter in Pisa with him and their mutual friend Percy Bysshe Shelley. The significance of this letter lies not only in its content but also in its historical value. It was given by Fanny's daughter to the British Museum in 1891 and remains part of their private collection today. As we gaze upon this remarkable image captured by Bridgeman Images from Fine Art Finder, we are transported back in time to witness an intimate moment shared between two influential figures of Romanticism. This print serves as a testament to the enduring power of love within families and offers us a glimpse into the personal life of one of literature's greatest poets.
