EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the late Thomas Campbell, a renowned Scottish author, in 1844. The marble bust of this literary genius was created by an unknown artist. Born in Glasgow in 1777, Campbell's early education under Mr. David Alison instilled in him a unique method of instruction in the classics. Even as a young boy, Campbell displayed his talent for verse writing, with some of his earliest poetic attempts still cherished among his friends back home in Scotland. At the age of twelve, he left school to attend the University of Glasgow where he excelled in Greek studies and even composed poetic paraphrases inspired by celebrated Greek poets. This image captures not only Campbell's intellectual prowess but also reflects his significant contributions to literature during the nineteenth century. As seen through this engraving from "Illustrated London News" it is evident that Campbell held an esteemed position within British society as a writer and poet. The Victorian-era photograph offers us a glimpse into the life and work of this remarkable man who hailed from Scotland—a country known for its rich literary heritage. Preserved by The Print Collector, this historical artifact serves as a testament to Thomas Campbell's enduring legacy and continues to inspire writers and readers alike today.
