EDITORS COMMENTS
In this aquatint print from 1813, we are transported back in time to the 14th or 15th century, where we meet Richard Whittington, an influential English mercer and philanthropist. Standing proudly with his loyal feline companion by his side, Whittington exudes a sense of authority and wisdom. Whittington's distinguished appearance is highlighted by his impressive beard and meticulously groomed moustache. His fur collar adds a touch of luxury to his attire, while his hat symbolizes his status as a respected figure in medieval society. As we gaze into the eyes of this remarkable man, it becomes evident that he possesses not only wealth but also compassion for others. The presence of the cat in this portrait is intriguing. It serves as a reminder that even successful individuals find solace and companionship in their pets. Perhaps this furry friend provided comfort during Whittington's journey towards becoming Lord Mayor or served as a source of inspiration for his philanthropic endeavors. This artwork beautifully captures both the essence of Richard Whittington himself and the spirit of medieval England. It invites us to reflect on the legacy left behind by individuals who dedicated their lives to improving society through acts of kindness and generosity. This print serves as a timeless tribute to one such extraordinary individual whose name continues to be remembered centuries later.
