EDITORS COMMENTS
This image is a print from the series of shadow portraits entitled 'Shadow and Substance' by the renowned English illustrator, Charles H. Bennett. The photograph, dated 1860, depicts a large, well-fed man holding his collar, as he casts the shadow of a green turtle or tortoise on a wall. The man's posture and expression suggest a sense of pride and amusement as he creates this intriguing illusion. Charles H. Bennett was a prolific illustrator, known for his work in various publications, including Punch Magazine. This series of shadow portraits was a unique and innovative concept for the time, showcasing Bennett's artistic skill and creativity. The fictional characters in this series were brought to life through the use of light and shadow, making them appear as if they were leaping off the page. The green turtle or tortoise in this image adds an element of whimsy and intrigue to the series. The use of a turtle as a subject for a shadow portrait is an apt choice, as turtles are known for their slow and deliberate movements, making them a fitting representation of the substance and solidity that Bennett aimed to capture in his series. This historical illustration is a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the artistic talent and innovation of Charles H. Bennett. The image invites us to ponder the relationship between the man and the turtle, and the role of shadows in our perception of reality.
