EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Alfred Lord Tennyson, one of England's most beloved poets. Taken in 1884 by Amedee Forestier and later hand-colored, this portrait showcases Tennyson reading while sitting in a serene country setting. The image exudes an air of tranquility as the poet immerses himself in his literary world. Tennyson, born in 1809 and passing away in 1892, held the prestigious position of Poet Laureate from 1850 until his death. His profound impact on English literature is evident through his timeless works that continue to resonate with readers even today. The artist skillfully portrays Tennyson's contemplative nature, capturing not only his physical appearance but also hinting at the depth of emotions within him. With every line etched on his face and every word absorbed from the book he holds, it is clear that poetry was not just a profession for Tennyson; it was a way of life. Through this photograph, we are transported back to the nineteenth century when literature flourished and poets were revered as cultural icons. It serves as a poignant reminder of Tennyson's contribution to British arts and letters during this era. As we gaze upon this remarkable print by Amedee Forestier, we cannot help but be inspired by Lord Tennyson's enduring legacy and appreciate the beauty he brought into our lives through his words.
