EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Portrait of William Cartwright" transports us back to the 19th century. The subject of this print is none other than William Cartwright, an influential English dramatist and churchman. His half-length figure is depicted in a dignified manner, donning his clerical robes. The attention to detail in this engraving is remarkable; every line and shadow expertly etched by the skilled hands of G Glint and W C Edwards. It is evident that great care was taken to capture the essence of Cartwright's character through his piercing gaze and composed expression. This rare print by Lombart, published on January 1st, 1824, adds historical significance to this artwork. It served as a preface to Cartwright's plays and poems during its time. Now preserved in a private collection, it allows us a glimpse into the life and legacy of one of England's literary figures. As we admire this portrait today, we are reminded not only of Cartwright's contributions to literature but also his role as a clergyman. This image serves as a testament to the intersection between artistry and spirituality during the 19th century. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, we have access to these timeless treasures that continue to inspire generations with their beauty and historical value.
