EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the esteemed figure of John Stow, an influential English historian and antiquarian who lived from 1525 to 1605. The image is a line engraving dating back to 1792, capturing the essence of Stow's era with its intricate details and historical charm. In this portrait, we see Stow engrossed in his work, diligently writing with a quill pen. His focused expression reflects his dedication to preserving and documenting the rich history of England during the turbulent 16th century. Adorned in a fashionable ruff collar that was popular at the time, he exudes an air of intellectual sophistication. Stow's contributions as a historian are immeasurable. Through meticulous research and documentation, he chronicled significant events and landmarks that shaped English society. His most notable work is "A Survey of London" published in 1598, which remains one of the most important historical references on London to this day. The Granger Collection has beautifully captured this timeless engraving from their Carousel collection. This print serves as a reminder of Stow's invaluable legacy as well as an homage to his passion for uncovering England's past. It invites us to appreciate not only his remarkable achievements but also the artistry involved in preserving history through visual mediums like engravings.
