EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable figure of John Selden, an eminent English jurist, antiquary, and oriental scholar. Dating back to approximately 1850, this portrait captures the essence of a man whose intellect and erudition were revered by his contemporaries. John Selden's long hair cascades down his shoulders as he gazes confidently into the distance. His distinguished appearance reflects not only his occupation but also his profound impact on British society during the 17th century. As a polymath celebrated by none other than John Milton himself, Selden was hailed as one of England's most learned men. The engraving is taken from "Old Englands Worthies" a book published in London around the same period. It serves as a testament to Selden's enduring legacy and influence within academia and beyond. In this monochrome image, we catch a glimpse of a man deeply immersed in knowledge and history. With expertise spanning various disciplines such as law, history, and Oriental studies, Selden epitomizes intellectual curiosity at its finest. As we contemplate this portrait with admiration for its subject's achievements, it becomes evident that John Selden left an indelible mark on both his countrymen and future generations alike.
