1766 1848 Benjamin Disraeli Isaac Scholar
EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Isaac Disraeli: A Scholar at Eleven" This evocative image captures the young Isaac Disraeli, the father of the renowned British Prime Minister, Benjamin Disraeli, as he sits intently over his books. Born in 1766 in London, Isaac Disraeli was the son of a Sephardi Jewish family that had recently arrived from Portugal. Despite facing significant adversity due to their religious background, Isaac and his family were determined to provide their children with a solid education. Isaac's dedication to learning is evident in this photograph, taken around 1777 when he was approximately eleven years old. The image shows him in a quiet, focused study, surrounded by an impressive collection of books. With a quill pen in hand and a furrowed brow, young Isaac appears deeply engrossed in his reading, a clear indication of the intellectual curiosity that would shape his future. Isaac's commitment to education paid off, as he went on to become a successful writer, literary critic, and scholar. He authored several works, including "The Literary Character of Socrates," which brought him recognition within scholarly circles. Isaac's passion for learning also extended to his children, particularly his son Benjamin, who would later become one of the most influential political figures in British history. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the importance of education and the transformative power it holds, not only for individuals but for generations to come. The image of young Isaac Disraeli, with his books and quill, stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of knowledge and the indomitable spirit of a family that defied adversity to pursue their dreams.
