EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of John Stow, a renowned English historian and antiquarian from the 16th century. The image, taken in 1830 by an unknown creator, showcases Stow's direct gaze as he looks confidently at the camera. Despite facing relative poverty due to his chronicles not proving remunerative, Stow accepted his circumstances with a cheerful spirit. Dressed in traditional clothing of the era, including a neck ruff and elegant attire, Stow exemplifies the fashion sense of his time. His balding head adds character to his distinguished appearance. The portrait exudes a sense of intelligence and wisdom that befits someone who dedicated their life to chronicling history. The print is part of "Biographical Illustrations" by Alfred Howard, published by Thomas Tegg, R. Griffin and Co. , J. Cumming in London, Glasgow, and Dublin in 1830. It offers us a glimpse into both the past - capturing Stow's presence during the 16th century - as well as into early 19th-century artistry through its engraving technique. This image serves as a reminder of John Stow's significant contribution to British literature and historical documentation despite facing financial challenges throughout his career. It immortalizes him as an influential figure whose work continues to inspire scholars today.
