EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the legendary figure of Old Tom Parr, captured in an engraving by an anonymous English artist from the 17th century. Housed in a private collection, this image offers a glimpse into the life of a man who was believed to have lived for an astonishing 152 years. The inscription accompanying the portrait reveals that Thomas Parr was born in 1483 during King Edward IV's reign and was still alive at the time this artwork was created in 1635. Regarded as the oldest man in the world, his remarkable longevity has become part of folklore and myth. In this portrait, we see Old Tom Parr with his long flowing beard and wearing a cap or hat that adds to his wise and aged appearance. The details captured by the artist evoke both admiration for his incredible age and curiosity about what secrets he might hold. Old Tom Parr's story transcends time, reminding us of our fascination with eternal life and our desire to unravel the mysteries of old age. This photograph invites us to ponder upon tales passed down through generations while appreciating its historical significance within Stuart England.
