EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable engraving of James Ussher, created by the talented George Vertue in 1738. Ussher, an eminent figure in the Church of Ireland, served as the Archbishop of Armagh and Primate of All Ireland during his lifetime. Renowned for his scholarly pursuits, he published a notable chronology that aimed to determine the precise time and date of creation. The portrait depicts Ussher in a half-length pose, exuding an air of wisdom and authority. Adorned with an elegant oval frame adorned with intricate scrolls and books, this image truly captures the essence of his intellectual prowess. As a clergyman deeply committed to his faith, Ussher's influence extended far beyond religious circles. George Vertue's masterful engraving technique brings out every detail on this print - from Ussher's distinguished beard to his dignified ruff collar. The inclusion of his coat-of-arms further emphasizes his status as a prominent Irish bishop. This print is not just a visual delight but also serves as a historical testament to one man's dedication to unraveling the mysteries surrounding creationism. It offers us a glimpse into James Ussher's world - where scholarship meets spirituality - reminding us that knowledge has always been at the heart of human progress.
