EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print captures the distinguished figure of James Plaisted Wilde, 1st Baron Penzance, a multifaceted individual known for his contributions to British law and horticulture. Born in 1816 and passing away in 1899, Wilde was not only a prominent judge but also a skilled rose breeder.
However, what truly set Wilde apart was his controversial belief in the Baconian theory regarding the authorship of Shakespeare's works. He firmly held that the renowned plays attributed to William Shakespeare were actually penned by Francis Bacon, sparking debate among scholars and literary enthusiasts.
In this striking image from The Century Edition of Cassell's History of England, published around 1900, Wilde exudes an air of authority and intellect. His piercing gaze seems to hint at the depth of knowledge and conviction that defined his character.
As we gaze upon this historic portrait, we are reminded of Wilde's lasting impact on both legal history and botanical pursuits. His legacy as a proponent of the Baconian theory continues to intrigue and inspire those who delve into the mysteries surrounding Shakespearean authorship.
Through this exquisite print by © Ken Welsh from Fine Art Finder, we are transported back in time to witness the presence of a remarkable figure whose influence transcended boundaries within academia and beyond.
