EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Joseph Gurney, a prominent figure in the influential Gurney family of Norwich. Taken around 1816 when he was just 20 years old, this side view portrait captures his youthful charm and determination. The Gurneys were renowned English Quakers who played a significant role in shaping both the religious landscape and development of Norwich. In fact, they established Gurneys bank in 1770, which later merged with Barclays in 1896. Joseph's attire reflects the fashion of early 19th century England, with his brown jacket adding a touch of elegance to his ensemble. His profile reveals an air of confidence and intelligence that befits someone from such a distinguished lineage. Beyond his family's banking legacy, Joseph was deeply rooted in Christian values and actively contributed to the growth of Christianity within Norfolk. As a devout Quaker himself, he embodied their principles and beliefs. Preserved by The Print Collector29 as part of their collection celebrating historical figures, this portrait serves as a testament to Joseph Gurney's contribution to society during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. It is not intended for commercial use but rather offers us an intimate glimpse into the life of this remarkable man who left an indelible mark on both religion and finance in England.
