1712 1786 Buttons Euro Hanway Jonas Oval Philanthropist Traveller
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative oval portrait captures the enigmatic figure of Jonas Hanway (1712-1786), an intriguing character of the 18th century. Hanway, a British traveller and philanthropist, is depicted here in a thoughtful and introspective pose, his piercing eyes gazing off into the distance. The elegant Euro Mag profile frame, with its ornate gold detailing, adds an air of sophistication and importance to the image. Hanway's fashionable attire, including his high-waisted breeches, voluminous waistcoat, and fashionable wig, are indicative of the style of the time. Of particular note are the buttons on his waistcoat, which are arranged in a distinctive pattern, adding a unique touch to his outfit. Despite his refined appearance, Hanway was known for his philanthropic endeavors, most notably his campaign to end the practice of carrying umbrellas in public, which he believed was a sign of idleness and luxury. Instead, he advocated for the use of parasols, which he distributed to the poor. He also established the first English marine society, which aimed to provide relief to sailors and their families. This portrait offers a glimpse into the life of a man who defied the conventions of his time and dedicated himself to making a positive impact on the world around him. Hanway's legacy continues to inspire us today, reminding us of the power of individual action to bring about positive change.
