EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the esteemed figure of Richard Steele, a prominent British essayist and dramatist from the 18th century. The steel engraving, created in 1821 by Thomas Bragg after a painting by Jonathan Richardson, beautifully captures Steele's dignified presence. Steele is depicted wearing an elaborate wig that was fashionable during his time, adding to the historical charm of the image. His confident gaze suggests a man who possessed both intellect and creativity, qualities for which he became renowned. As one of the leading playwrights and essayists of his era, Steele made significant contributions to English literature. He co-founded several influential publications such as "The Tatler" and "The Spectator" which played pivotal roles in shaping public opinion and promoting intellectual discourse. Bragg's skillful engraving technique brings out intricate details in this portrait. Every line etched into the metal plate reflects Richardson's original painting with precision and finesse. This print serves as a reminder of Richard Steele's enduring legacy as an important figure in British literary history. It invites us to appreciate not only his written works but also his impact on society during a transformative period in England.
