EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an engraving titled "Barclays Dictionary, word: Disdain" by the talented artist William Marshall Craig. The artwork is part of a private collection and depicts a visually stunning illustration for The Bungay Edition of Barclays Dictionary Greatly Improved and Superbly Embellished, published in 1813. The image has been digitally cleaned to enhance its clarity and detail, allowing viewers to fully appreciate the intricate craftsmanship of this historical piece. As we delve into the world of early nineteenth-century language, we are presented with the word "Disdain" which evokes a range of emotions such as scorn, derision, contempt, sneer, belittlement, undervaluing, and slighting. The dictionary definition takes us back in time to explore how people during that era perceived and understood this complex concept. This engraving not only serves as a visual representation but also offers valuable insights into societal attitudes towards disdain during the 1810s. With its rich historical significance and artistic finesse captured by Bridgeman Images on behalf of Fine Art Finder, this print invites us to reflect upon our own understanding of disdain while appreciating the beauty found within both words and art.
