EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving depicts Samuel Butler, an esteemed English poet and satirist of the 17th century. The artist skillfully captures his likeness, showcasing a man whose words have left an indelible mark on literature and social commentary. Butler's sharp wit and clever observations made him one of the most influential satirists of his time. Through his poetry, he fearlessly critiqued societal norms and exposed hypocrisy with biting humor. This portrait serves as a testament to his legacy as a masterful writer. The Universal Magazine featured this illustration, printed for J Hinton at the Kings Arms in Newgate Street. It showcases Butler's importance during that era when satire was highly valued as a means to challenge authority and provoke thought. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back to the vibrant literary scene of 18th-century England. We can almost hear Butler's words echoing through time, reminding us of the power of satire to expose truth and inspire change. Bridgeman Images has preserved this historical gem from their private collection, allowing us to appreciate not only Butler's contribution but also the artistry involved in creating such engravings. This image is a reminder that great writers like Samuel Butler continue to shape our understanding of society even centuries later.
