The Rev. T. Price, 1845 - A Portrait of Welsh Historian and Cultural Icon
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases the esteemed figure of Reverend Thomas Price, a prominent Welsh historian who played a pivotal role in reviving the Eisteddfod tradition. The Eisteddfod was an ancient gathering that brought together poets and minstrels from across Wales under the patronage of nobles and princes. Reverend Thomas Price's contribution to this cultural event cannot be overstated. His dedication to preserving national oral records made him an influential figure in Welsh literature and music festivals during the 19th century. This portrait captures his dignified presence as he stands confidently, representing not only his profession as a clergyman but also his deep connection to Welsh heritage. The Abergavenny Cymreigyddion y Fenni, established in 1833 by passionate tradesmen from Abergavenny, has been instrumental in upholding these traditions with unwavering energy and talent ever since. Their commitment reflects great credit upon them. Published in "Illustrated London News" in 1845, this engraving immortalizes Reverend Thomas Price's significant contributions to both religion and culture within Victorian Britain. It serves as a testament to his influence on the literary landscape of Wales, cementing him as an important historical figure. This remarkable print allows us to glimpse into the past—a time when poetry, music, history, and spirituality converged at grand gatherings like the Eisteddfod—and reminds us of our rich cultural heritage that continues to inspire generations today.
