EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Jeremy Bentham, a prominent figure in 19th-century England. The artist, James Posselwhite, skillfully portrays Bentham's intellectual prowess and influential role as a social reformer and philosopher. Jeremy Bentham was not only known for his groundbreaking ideas but also for establishing the doctrine of utilitarianism, which emphasized maximizing happiness for the greatest number of people. His contributions to society extended beyond philosophy; he was one of the founders of University College London, an institution that continues to shape minds today. In this portrait, Bentham is depicted wearing traditional attire befitting his era—a distinguished hat atop his head adds an air of sophistication. His thoughtful gaze suggests deep contemplation and reflects his reputation as a profound thinker. The monochrome aesthetic lends a timeless quality to this engraving, transporting us back to the 18th and 19th centuries when Bentham's ideas were shaping societal norms. This print serves as a reminder of both his significant impact on British culture and his enduring legacy in academia. As we admire this image captured by o' De', we are reminded of Jeremy Bentham's lasting influence on education, philosophy, and social reform—an inspiration for generations past and present.
