EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the esteemed English writer and poet, John Milton. Created by George Vertue in 1943, this portrait depicts Milton at the age of 62 in 1670, as indicated by the Latin inscription. Renowned for his epic poem "Paradise Lost". Milton's literary genius is even more remarkable considering he became completely blind around 1652. The engraving was made during the early to mid-18th century and is featured in Sir Herbert Grierson's book, "The English Bible". The oval-shaped image captures the essence of a man who played a significant role in shaping British literature. Despite his visual impairment, Milton's contributions to poetry and prose have left an indelible mark on history. In this thought-provoking portrayal, we witness an old man with wisdom etched upon his face. The lines and contours reveal a life filled with intellectual pursuits and creative endeavors. As we gaze into his eyes - or rather where they once were - we are reminded that true vision transcends physical limitations. Through this print, we are transported back to the seventeenth century when John Milton wielded his pen as a powerful instrument of expression. It serves as a testament to both his enduring legacy and the resilience of human spirit in overcoming adversity. This historical artifact from William Collins Publishing offers us a glimpse into one of Britain's most celebrated poets while honoring their commitment to preserving cultural heritage through artful prints like these.
