EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a rare glimpse into the life of one of literature's most beloved authors, Jane Austen. Believed to be taken when she was just 13 years old, this image is a revelation as it is the only known professional likeness of Austen in existence. The painting, previously attributed to John Zoffany, has undergone recent analysis that confirms its authenticity. The portrait captures young Jane Austen in full length, exuding an air of innocence and curiosity. Dressed in traditional attire from the late 18th century, she stands with poise and grace. Her youthful face holds hints of the brilliance that would later shine through her iconic novels. The photographer behind this remarkable piece is Charles Robert Leslie Fletcher (C. R. L Fletcher), who skillfully captured Austen's essence with his lens. This historical artifact takes us back to a time when women writers were not widely recognized or celebrated. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of Austen's immense contribution to British literature and her enduring legacy as one of the greatest novelists of all time. It serves as a testament to her talent and resilience in pursuing her passion amidst societal constraints. Thanks to The Clarendon Press for preserving this precious snapshot from history within their publication "Historical Portraits 1700-1850 - Part II". Through such treasures, we can continue to appreciate and honor the remarkable individuals who have shaped our world through their artistry and creativity.
