EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Samuel Johnson, a remarkable figure in 18th century Britain. Dr Johnson, as he was commonly known, was an influential critic, lexicographer, essayist, biographer and poet. His contributions to literature have left an indelible mark on English language and culture. The photograph showcases a bust sculpture of Dr Johnson dating back to 1777. The intricate details of the sculpture highlight his distinguished features and intellectual presence. It is evident that this portrait was created with great care and reverence for the man it represents. Dr Johnson's impact on British society cannot be overstated. He played a crucial role in shaping literary criticism during his time through his famous work "The Lives of the Poets" and his renowned dictionary "A Dictionary of the English Language". Beyond his scholarly achievements, Dr Johnson's wit and wisdom made him a beloved figure among intellectuals and commoners alike. This particular print comes from James Boswell's monumental biography titled "The Life of Samuel Johnson". Published in 1907 by Sir Isaac Pitman & Sons Ltd. , London, it stands as a testament to both Boswell's meticulous research and admiration for Dr Johnson. As we gaze upon this image today, we are reminded not only of Dr Samuel Johnson's immense contribution to literature but also of the enduring power that great minds hold over centuries.
