EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of John Milton, the renowned English poet who lived from 1608 to 1674. The image depicts Milton in his later years, after he had lost his sight, seated beside a small chamber organ. His face exudes wisdom and contemplation as he leans slightly forward, perhaps deep in thought or reflecting on his literary masterpieces. Milton's most famous work, Paradise Lost, published in 1667, solidified his place as one of the greatest poets of all time. This epic poem explores themes of good versus evil and tells the story of Adam and Eve's fall from grace. Despite losing his vision due to glaucoma at the age of 43, Milton continued to write prolifically with the help of amanuenses. The photograph showcases not only Milton's occupation as an author but also highlights his love for music. The chamber organ next to him symbolizes both creativity and solace amidst darkness. It is a testament to how art can transcend physical limitations. This wood engraving from the 19th century provides us with a glimpse into England during the Elizabethan era when literature flourished under Milton's penmanship. As we gaze upon this portrait, we are reminded of Milton's enduring legacy and profound contributions to British literature that continue to inspire generations today.
