EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts Sir Thomas S. Raffles, an influential figure in history known for his role as an English colonial administrator and the founder of Singapore. The image showcases a line and stipple engraving created in 1834 by William Home Lizars, based on a marble bust sculpted by Sir Francis Legatt Chantrey. Sir Thomas S. Raffles (1781-1826) stands tall in this portrait, exuding confidence and determination. His visionary leadership is evident as he gazes into the distance, seemingly contemplating the future of the colony he helped establish. The intricate details captured through the engraving technique highlight both Raffles' distinguished features and his refined attire, reflecting the elegance and sophistication associated with early 19th-century England. Raffles' significant contributions to Singapore's development are symbolized by this artwork. As a colonialist and administrator, he played a pivotal role in transforming Singapore from a small fishing village into one of Asia's most prosperous trading hubs. This print serves as a reminder of Raffles' lasting legacy - not only as an individual but also as an embodiment of British imperialism during that era. It invites viewers to reflect upon the complexities surrounding colonization while appreciating Raffles' impact on shaping modern-day Singapore. Displayed proudly within any space, this stunning piece from The Granger Collection captures both historical significance and artistic excellence simultaneously
