EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts the renowned English novelist and magistrate, Henry Fielding, in a profile view against an oval background. Dressed in the fashion of the early 18th century, Fielding is seen wearing a long, curly wig and a serious yet smiling expression. Born on April 22, 1707, in Sharpsbury, Buckinghamshire, England, Fielding is considered one of the founders of the English novel. He is best known for his satirical works, including "Joseph Andrews" and "Tom Jones," which showcased his unique blend of humor and social commentary. Fielding's literary success did not prevent him from fulfilling his civic duties. He served as a magistrate in London, using his position to bring order to the chaotic streets of the city. This dual role as a writer and a magistrate earned him both admiration and criticism from his contemporaries. Fielding's influence on English literature and society extended far beyond his lifetime. His works continue to be read and studied, and his innovative approach to storytelling paved the way for future novelists. This print, created in 1812, is a testament to Fielding's enduring legacy and his place in the annals of literary history.
