EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures John Lubbock, 1st Baron Avebury, in his element as an English banker, scientist, and Liberal politician. Taken in 1884, the image showcases Lubbock seated at a desk by the window in his library, engrossed in his work with a binocular microscope. His distinguished appearance is highlighted by his impressive beard and Victorian attire. Lubbock's significant contributions to archaeology are evident from this portrait. His groundbreaking book "Prehistoric Times" first published in 1865, revolutionized the field by introducing terms such as Palaeolithic and Neolithic for the very first time. This influential work solidified Lubbock's reputation as an esteemed archaeologist. Beyond his archaeological pursuits, Lubbock was also deeply involved in politics as a member of the Liberal Party. As a statesman and politician during the 19th century, he played a crucial role in shaping Britain's political landscape. The engraving beautifully captures both the intellectual atmosphere of Lubbock's library and his dedication to scientific exploration. It serves as a testament to his multifaceted nature - simultaneously embodying qualities of a scholar, banker, scientist, and politician. This remarkable print allows us to glimpse into the life of one of England's most prominent figures from that era – John Lubbock – whose legacy continues to inspire generations even today.
