EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph from 1869 showcases Henry Lemoine, an intriguing figure in 18th century London. Known as a hack-writer and publisher, Lemoine was responsible for producing chapbooks and pamphlets during his time. The print depicts him with a sack of books slung over his shoulder, embodying the image of an itinerant bookseller. Lemoine's eccentricity is evident in this artwork, capturing the essence of his character. Married to Ann Swires, a Gothic chapbook publisher, he was deeply involved in the literary world of his era. The stipple engraving by Robert Cooper beautifully captures Lemoine's unique personality. The lithograph is part of Henry Wilson and James Caulfields' Book of Wonderful Characters, Memoirs and Anecdotes, which delves into the lives of remarkable and eccentric individuals throughout history. Published by John Camden Hotten in Piccadilly, London, this book serves as a testament to Lemoine's impact on society. This image transports us back to the late 18th century when curiosity about strange and eerie characters like Lemoine thrived. It offers a glimpse into British culture at that time while also highlighting Europe's fascination with such figures. As we admire this lithograph today, we are reminded of Lemoine's contribution to literature and publishing during one of history's most vibrant periods. His presence lingers through this artwork as a reminder that even unconventional individuals can leave their mark on society.
