EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases James Boswell, esq in the dress of an armed Corsican Chief. The portrait, created by artist James Wale, captures Boswell as he appeared at Shakespeare's Jubilee in Stratford upon Avon in September 1769. James Boswell (1740-1795), a renowned Scottish writer and biographer, is depicted here donning the elaborate costume of a Corsican Chief. His attire includes gaiters, a hat adorned with feathers, and traditional Corsican clothing. This unique portrayal reflects not only his occupation as a journalist but also his fascination with different cultures. The photograph is part of the collection "Social Caricature in the Eighteenth Century" by George Paston (pseudonym of Emily Morse Symonds) published in London in 1905. It offers us a glimpse into the vibrant celebrations that took place during this period. Boswell's presence at Shakespeare's Jubilee exemplifies his admiration for William Shakespeare and his works. As an author himself, Boswell recognized the significance of celebrating one of Britain's greatest playwrights. Through this monochrome image, we are transported back to the eighteenth century when men like Boswell played essential roles within their countries' literary circles. This print serves as both a historical document and an artistic representation of an influential figure from Scotland who left an indelible mark on journalism and biography writing.
