EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the esteemed British author and historian, Thomas Carlyle, in 1867. Taken by the talented photographer Julia Margaret Cameron, this particular print was created around 1893 using the photogravure technique. It is plate number 8 from her renowned album titled "Lord Tennyson and his friends". In this profile shot, Carlyle's distinguished features are beautifully highlighted against a dark background. The intensity in his gaze reflects both wisdom and depth of character. As one of the most prominent figures in Victorian literature, Carlyle's influence on British society cannot be overstated. Cameron's skillful composition allows us to appreciate every detail of Carlyle's face - from his strong jawline to his piercing eyes - capturing not only his physical appearance but also hinting at the intellectual prowess that made him a revered writer during his time. As we delve into this remarkable piece of art from the late 19th century, we are transported back to an era where photography was still evolving as an artistic medium. This rare edition numbered 138 out of only 140 exemplifies its historical significance within the realm of visual arts. Displayed proudly in prestigious institutions such as The Art Institute Chicago, this photograph serves as a testament to both Julia Margaret Cameron's talent behind the lens and Thomas Carlyle's enduring legacy as a literary giant.
