EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the esteemed figure of William Roscoe, a prominent English banker, historian, collector, and writer. Engraved by Samuel Freeman (1773-1857) and sourced from the National Portrait Gallery's volume IV, published around 1835, this lithograph is a testament to Roscoe's enduring legacy. In this portrait, Roscoe is portrayed in a seated position with an air of intellectual prowess. The artist skillfully captures his half-length figure as he engages in deep contemplation while holding a quill pen. This depiction not only emphasizes Roscoe's scholarly pursuits but also hints at his significant contributions to literature and academia during the 18th century. The fine details rendered by James Lonsdale (1777-1839), who created this lithograph based on an original painting or drawing of Roscoe, bring forth the essence of his character. From the delicate lines etched into his face to the meticulous rendering of his attire, every aspect reflects both dignity and refinement. Preserved within a private collection today, this remarkable piece offers viewers an intimate glimpse into the life and accomplishments of William Roscoe. As we admire this image captured through time by Ken Welsh's lens for Fine Art Finder via Bridgeman Images' archive, we are reminded of how one individual can leave an indelible mark on history through their intellect and passion for knowledge.
