EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable engraving of Jeremy Bentham, created by S. Freeman in the 19th century. The image is sourced from the prestigious National Portrait Gallery and belongs to their volume IV collection, published around 1835. Jeremy Bentham was an influential English philosopher, economist, and theoretical jurist who left an indelible mark on various fields of study. Renowned for his contributions to jurisprudence and Utilitarian ethics, he also played a pivotal role as the founder of University College London. The lithograph beautifully captures Bentham's intellectual essence through its half-length portrait composition. His scholarly demeanor is evident as he gazes intently into the distance, exuding wisdom and depth. This portrayal perfectly encapsulates his significant influence during the Georgian and Hanoverian eras. Bentham's legacy extends beyond academia; he was a reformer with strong moral convictions that guided his work. As we delve into this photograph, we are transported back in time to witness the brilliance of this extraordinary thinker whose ideas continue to shape our understanding of society today. This particular print is part of a private collection but has been made available for public viewing thanks to William Henry Worthington's meticulous lithography skills. It serves as a testament to both Bentham's enduring impact on intellectual discourse and the artistic talent that immortalized him through this striking engraving.
