EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Samuel Johnson, a remarkable figure who left an indelible mark on 18th century Britain. The portrait, taken in 1773 and printed in 1907 by Sir Isaac Pitman & Sons, Ltd. , London, showcases Dr Johnson's intellectual prowess and commanding presence. Dr Samuel Johnson was a man of many talents - a critic, lexicographer, essayist, biographer, and poet. His contributions to literature were immense and his influence far-reaching. Known for his monumental work "A Dictionary of the English Language" he meticulously documented the intricacies of the English language like no one before him. In this side view profile portrait captured by an unknown artist during the Georgian era, we see Dr Johnson's distinguished features: his strong jawline accentuated by a neatly trimmed beard, piercing eyes that exude wisdom beyond their years, and furrowed brows hinting at his deep contemplation. James Boswell's biography titled "The Life of Samuel Johnson" provides valuable insights into this extraordinary man's life. Through Boswell's words and this striking image preserved through time by The Print Collector archive collection at Heritage Images, we are transported back to an era when intellect reigned supreme. As we gaze upon this print today in the 21st century with admiration for Dr Samuel Johnson’s accomplishments as well as appreciation for the artistry behind capturing such profound character in monochrome form; it serves as a reminder that great minds transcend time itself
