EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Richard Porson, an eminent English classical scholar of the 18th and 19th centuries. The portrait, taken in 1830 by an unknown creator, captures Porson's intellectual presence and scholarly demeanor. Porson was educated at Eton College and Trinity College, Cambridge, where he honed his expertise in Greek language and literature. His exceptional handwriting served as the basis for the Greek typeface that bears his name to this day. The image is sourced from "Biographical Illustrations" by Alfred Howard, a book published in London, Glasgow, and Dublin in 1830. It provides a glimpse into the rich history of British academia during this period. In the photograph, Porson is depicted wearing a traditional academic gown with a thoughtful expression on his face. He gazes away from the camera with a profile view that adds depth to his character. This portrait not only immortalizes Richard Porson but also serves as a testament to his significant contributions to classical scholarship. As one of Britain's most renowned scholars of his time, Porson's legacy continues to inspire generations of academics worldwide.
