EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative portrait captures the intellectual brilliance and distinguished character of Dr. Samuel Johnson, one of the most influential figures in English literature and language. The image, taken in 1784 by an unknown artist, depicts Johnson in his later years, with a thoughtful expression and a fur-lined coat adding an air of wisdom and authority. Johnson's signature wig, worn high and powdered white, frames his face and adds to his regal appearance. Born in 1709, Johnson was a prolific writer, critic, and conversationalist, best known for his groundbreaking work as a lexicographer. He is perhaps most famously associated with the creation of the first comprehensive English dictionary, which he began in 1746 and published in 1755. This monumental achievement, which took Johnson and his team over seven years to complete, remains a testament to his unwavering dedication to the English language and to the written word. Johnson's literary contributions extended far beyond his dictionary work, however. He authored numerous essays, poems, and literary reviews, and was a regular fixture in the literary and intellectual circles of his time. His wit, intelligence, and conversational skills made him a beloved and respected figure in the literary world, and his influence can still be felt in the English language and in the literary traditions that followed in his footsteps. This portrait offers a glimpse into the life and legacy of a man who left an indelible mark on the English language and on the literary landscape of his time. With his penetrating gaze and furrowed brow, Johnson seems to be inviting us to join him in a thoughtful exploration of the written word and the power of language to shape our understanding of the world around us.
