EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the recently erected Monument to Defoe in the historic Bunhill-Fields Burying-Ground. The image, created by an anonymous English artist in the 19th century, showcases a significant moment in London's history. Bunhill-Fields Burying-Ground, known for its serene beauty and rich historical significance, serves as the final resting place for many notable figures. Among them is Daniel Defoe, a renowned English writer and journalist celebrated for his masterpiece "Robinson Crusoe". This striking monument stands tall amidst the graves of this hallowed ground, paying homage to one of literature's greatest minds. The illustration was originally featured in the Illustrated Times on October 1st, 1870. It offers viewers a glimpse into Victorian-era London and provides insight into how Defoe was revered even after his passing. The intricate details captured by the artist highlight both the artistic skill involved in creating such monuments and their importance within society. As we gaze upon this print from Bridgeman Images' Private Collection today, we are transported back to a time when literary giants were immortalized through grand memorials. This image reminds us of Defoe's enduring legacy and invites contemplation on our own mortality while appreciating artistry that transcends time.
