EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Plutarch, a prominent figure in ancient Greece. Plutarch, born around AD46 and passing away around AD120, was a Greek biographer and essayist best known for his influential work Parallel Lives. In this portrait from 1830, the creator remains unknown but successfully captures the essence of Plutarch's character. Plutarch led an illustrious life as a magistrate, ambassador, and priest of the Delphic temple. His contributions to literature were significant as he delved into the lives of notable individuals throughout history. The image portrays him with a distinguished beard and wearing traditional clothing that reflects his era. The engraving reveals Plutarch looking down thoughtfully while donning a hooded headscarf or headdress. This attire adds an air of mystery to his persona, emphasizing his deep intellect and wisdom. It is fascinating to observe how this photograph connects two distinct time periods: the first century when Plutarch lived and worked on his renowned writings, juxtaposed against the nineteenth-century setting in which it was captured by Alfred Howard. The collaboration between Howard's Biographical Illustrations publication and Thomas Tegg's company further adds historical significance to this piece. As we gaze upon this remarkable image print today, we are reminded not only of Plutarch's immense contribution to literature but also of our enduring fascination with ancient Greece and its intellectual giants like him.
