Doctor Johnson in the ante-room of Lord Chesterfield, waiting for an audience, 1748. A critic, lexicographer, essayist, biographer and poet, Samuel Johnson (1709-1784) was one of the oustanding personalities of 18th century Britain. In 1755 he published his Dictionary of the English Language, regarded as the first great English dictionary, which took him 8 years to compile. Noted as a wit and conversationalist, Johnson founded the Literary Club in c1763, which numbered David Garrick, Edmund Burke, Oliver Goldsmith and Joshua Reynolds amongst its distinguished membership. Much of his fame derives from his highly popular biography, Life of Johnson, written by his friend and contemporary, James Boswell

EDITORS COMMENTS
Doctor Johnson in the ante-room of Lord Chesterfield, waiting for an audience, 1748. This print captures a significant moment in the life of Samuel Johnson, one of the most prominent figures of 18th century Britain. Known for his brilliance as a critic, lexicographer, essayist, biographer and poet, Johnson's influence on literature and language cannot be overstated. In this image, we see Doctor Johnson patiently waiting in Lord Chesterfield's ante-room before being granted an audience. The anticipation is palpable as he leans on his walking stick with a thoughtful expression on his face. His loyal canine companion stands faithfully by his side. Johnson's accomplishments were vast and varied. His monumental achievement was the publication of the Dictionary of the English Language in 1755 after eight years of tireless work. This groundbreaking dictionary laid the foundation for modern English lexicography. Beyond his scholarly pursuits, Johnson was also known for his wit and engaging conversation skills. He founded the esteemed Literary Club that boasted illustrious members such as David Garrick and Edmund Burke. Perhaps what truly immortalized Samuel Johnson was James Boswell's biography titled Life of Johnson. Boswell captured not only Johnson's genius but also provided invaluable insights into their friendship and contemporary society. This remarkable print serves as a testament to Dr Samuel Johnson's enduring legacy as an intellectual giant whose contributions continue to shape our understanding of language and literature.
