Old Boots - A Quirky Character from Rippon, Yorkshire in 1821
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This black and white portrait captures the essence of Old Boots, a well-known figure in the town of Rippon, Yorkshire during the early 19th century. Created by artist Robert Cooper as part of his collection "Wonderful Characters" this engraving showcases the eccentricity and charm that made Old Boots a beloved personality. Known for his distinctive features, particularly his abundant nose and chin, Old Boots was an eccentric shoe shiner who became famous for a peculiar habit. People would often give him money on the condition that he held it between his nose and chin – a request to which he always obliged with great satisfaction. This unusual talent earned him both admiration and amusement from those around him. The detailed portrayal in this print allows us to appreciate not only Old Boot's unique appearance but also his occupation as a boot polisher. His weathered face tells tales of hard work and dedication while donning traditional clothing that reflects British fashion at the time. Captured within these lines is more than just an image; it is a glimpse into history - an era when characters like Old Boots added color to everyday life. Through Henry Wilson's memoirs and anecdotes, we are reminded of remarkable individuals whose stories deserve recognition. As we gaze upon this intriguing portrait today, let us celebrate the spirit of uniqueness embodied by figures like Old Boots – forever etched in our collective memory through artistry such as Robert Cooper's masterful engraving.
