EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases William Penn, a prominent figure in English history during the late 17th century. The image, dating back to around 1680-1690, was captured by an unknown photographer and later reproduced in 1890 for "Cassells Illustrated Universal History". William Penn (1644-1718) was not only an English nobleman but also a writer, early Quaker, and the founder of Pennsylvania. His significant contributions as a religious leader and colonizer are immortalized through this striking portrait. In the photograph, Penn exudes an air of authority and wisdom. Dressed in traditional attire of the era - complete with a cravat, jacket, and hat - he gazes away from the camera with deep contemplation. This snapshot offers us a glimpse into his character as well as his dedication to his faith. Penn's legacy extends beyond his role as founder of Pennsylvania; he played a vital part in shaping modern history through his advocacy for religious freedom and democratic principles. As we admire this monochrome engraving today, we are reminded of the profound impact that individuals like William Penn had on society. The print serves as both an artistic representation and historical documentation of one man's remarkable journey. It invites us to delve into the rich tapestry of British heritage while reflecting on themes such as religion, occupation, literature, and colonialism that were central to Penn's life story.
