EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait print showcases the distinguished figure of Sir John Lubbock, a prominent banker, scientist, and Liberal politician of the 19th century. The unknown creator skillfully captures Lubbock's commanding presence as he gazes confidently into the distance. His thick beard adds to his air of wisdom and authority. Lubbock's immense contributions to archaeology are highlighted in this image. As the author of "Prehistoric Times" published in 1865, he revolutionized the field by coining the terms Palaeolithic and Neolithic for the first time. This groundbreaking work remains one of the most influential archaeological books ever written. Beyond his scholarly achievements, Lubbock was an accomplished statesman who played a pivotal role in British politics during this era. A member of the Liberal Party, he dedicated himself to public service and made significant contributions to his country. The monochrome aesthetic lends a timeless quality to this portrait, transporting us back to Victorian England. The intricate details captured by Henry Tanworth Wells' engraving technique further enhance our appreciation for Lubbock's multifaceted persona as a naturalist and entomologist alongside his other roles. As we admire this remarkable photograph print from Heritage Images, we are reminded not only of Sir John Lubbock's profound impact on science but also his lasting legacy as a respected politician and esteemed figure in British society during the 19th century.
