A prominent English antiquary, Leland's legacy is beautifully captured in this portrait from "Crabbes Historical Dictionary" published in 1825. With an air of wisdom and intrigue, Leland gazes directly at the viewer, his piercing eyes reflecting a lifetime dedicated to unearthing England's rich historical tapestry. His furrowed brow suggests a deep intellectual curiosity that propelled him on countless journeys across the country, meticulously documenting its ancient monuments and manuscripts.
