EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving by the English School from the 19th century, we are transported back in time to a domestic scene featuring Squire Humphrey. The print, part of a private collection and originally published in The Illustrated London News in 1884, showcases an intimate glimpse into the life of this distinguished figure. Squire Humphrey is depicted sitting at his desk, engrossed in reading a paper. His old-fashioned attire and surroundings add to the sense of nostalgia that emanates from this image. As he stares intently at the page before him, one can't help but wonder what thoughts occupy his mind. There is an air of shame or regret about him; perhaps he has stumbled upon some bitter news within those pages. His posture suggests deep contemplation as he scrapes his hand across his forehead while seated on a chair that seems worn with age. This print captures not only Squire Humphrey's physical appearance but also hints at the emotional turmoil hidden beneath his composed exterior. It serves as a reminder that even individuals who hold positions of power and influence experience moments of vulnerability and introspection. Bridgeman Images' presentation allows us to appreciate both the artistic mastery behind this engraving and its ability to evoke emotions centuries later.
