EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the esteemed William Felkin, a prominent figure in Nottingham's history during the 19th century. Painted by Sylvanus Redgate on a canvas measuring 45.7 x 36.8, this oil painting immortalizes Felkin as an influential male personality of his time. Seated with poise and confidence, he exudes an air of intellect and wisdom. Felkin was not only recognized for his remarkable writing skills but also served as a mayor in Nottingham. His contributions to literature and governance made him a respected gentleman within the community. Donning a black jacket that speaks to his refined taste, Felkin's distinguished appearance is complemented by his neatly groomed beard. The painting subtly hints at Felkin's involvement in the hosiery industry, which played a significant role in Nottingham's economy during that era. The delicate lace adorning his attire serves as both an artistic detail and symbol of the city's thriving textile trade. As we admire this exquisite portrait, we are reminded of Nottingham's rich heritage and its connection to notable individuals like William Felkin. This print allows us to appreciate not only the artistry behind Sylvanus Redgate's brushstrokes but also offers insight into the life and accomplishments of one man who left an indelible mark on this vibrant city.
