EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Henry Welby, 1794" offers a glimpse into the mysterious life of an extraordinary man. Henry Welby, a renowned scholar and linguist from the 17th century, chose to spend his final years as a recluse. The portrait showcases him seated in deep contemplation, his thoughtful gaze fixed on some distant point. Welby's long white beard and walking stick lend an air of wisdom and experience to his image. His reclusive nature is evident not only in his physical isolation but also in the fact that he was seen only by his loyal servant during this period. Living on Grub Street near Cripplegate in London, he became known as one of history's most famous hermits. The engraving hints at Welby's agoraphobia - fear of open spaces - which likely contributed to his decision to withdraw from society entirely. Despite living alone for forty-four years, he remained dedicated to intellectual pursuits and continued studying within the confines of his study. As we observe this remarkable portrait print today, we are reminded of the enigmatic figure that was Henry Welby: a solitary thinker who found solace within himself while leaving behind an enduring legacy as both a scholar and recluse.
