EDITORS COMMENTS
In this lithograph, we are transported back in time to the elegant home of Sir Philip Cunliffe Owen at South Kensington Museum. The image captures a moment frozen in history, offering us a glimpse into the life and surroundings of this distinguished figure. Sir Philip Cunliffe Owen, renowned for his contributions as the director of the South Kensington Museum (now known as the Victoria and Albert Museum), is depicted here amidst his study. The room exudes an air of sophistication with its ornate furniture, bookshelves filled with literary treasures, and intricate artwork adorning the walls. Owen himself sits comfortably in an armchair, engrossed in deep contemplation. His posture reflects both authority and intellectual curiosity. One can only imagine what thoughts occupy his mind as he surveys his domain - perhaps pondering new acquisitions for the museum or contemplating future endeavors that would further enrich London's cultural landscape. This lithograph was originally created by Samuel Begg after a photograph taken by an unknown artist. It was published in Black & White magazine on July 9th, 1892 - a testament to its enduring appeal even over a century later. As we gaze upon this print today, we are reminded not only of Sir Philip Cunliffe Owen's significant contributions but also of the timeless allure of art itself. This image serves as a window into another era and invites us to appreciate both history and beauty captured within its frame.
