EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the esteemed figure of Charles Kingsley, a prominent English clergyman and novelist. The engraving, skillfully executed by Charles Henry Jeens, beautifully captures the essence of this remarkable individual who lived from 1819 to 1875. Kingsley's notable literary work includes "The Water Babies" published in 1863, which remains an enduring classic. His intellectual prowess is evident as he served as a Cambridge professor and held the prestigious position of chaplain to Queen Victoria. In this portrait, Kingsley exudes an air of wisdom and authority with his distinguished sideburns framing his face. As a Christian socialist, he advocated for social justice and equality during a time when such ideas were not widely accepted. This photograph offers us a glimpse into the life of an influential man whose impact extended beyond his religious duties. It serves as a testament to Kingsley's significant contributions to literature and society at large. Displayed in monochrome tones, this image evokes both nostalgia and reverence for an era long gone but not forgotten. Preserved within private collections today, it reminds us of the lasting legacy left behind by individuals like Charles Kingsley – individuals who dared to challenge societal norms while leaving their mark on history.
