EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "PIOUS ENGLISHMAN, 1716" transports us back to a bygone era, immersing us in the world of an early English gentleman immersed in his studies. The image showcases a well-dressed man seated in an opulent library or study, surrounded by shelves filled with books and adorned with intricate woodwork. The subject exudes an air of piety and devotion as he engrosses himself in the words of Thomas Allen's "The Practice of a Holy Life". Clad in a flowing robe and sporting a wig that was fashionable at the time, he epitomizes the upper-class men of 18th-century England. His focused expression reveals his deep love for God's law, as captured by the inscription beneath: "O how love I thy law! it is my meditation all the Day". This sentiment speaks volumes about his commitment to religious practices and underscores the importance placed on faith during this period. This copper engraving serves not only as a promotional tool for Thomas Allen's book but also as a window into English society's values and beliefs at that time. It reminds us of an era when religion played a central role in people's lives, shaping their daily routines and guiding their moral compasses. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from The Granger Collection, we are transported back to an age where reading was cherished, knowledge revered, and spirituality held dear – reminding us that even centuries later, these timeless virtues continue to inspire.
