Crabbs Historical Dictionary Critic Overweight Plump Shawl Smile
EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from 1825 showcases the remarkable Sarah Trimmer, an influential figure in English literature. The portrait, found in Crabbs Historical Dictionary, beautifully captures her essence as a writer and critic of children's literature. Sarah Trimmer, born Sarah Kirby in 1741 and passing away in 1810, dedicated her life to shaping the literary landscape for young readers. Her contributions were so significant that she earned a place among the most esteemed female writers of her time. In this illustration, we see Trimmer portrayed with elegance and grace. Despite being depicted during the late 18th to early 19th century when plumpness was considered fashionable, it is evident that her true beauty lies within her intellect and passion for words. Wearing a bonnet adorned with delicate details and wrapped in a shawl that exudes warmth and sophistication, Trimmer gazes at us with a gentle smile on her face. Her eyes reflect wisdom acquired through years of studying literature aimed at nurturing young minds. As we admire this print from our private collection today, let us remember Sarah Trimmer's lasting legacy as an advocate for quality children's literature. Her dedication continues to inspire countless authors who strive to create meaningful stories that shape future generations' imaginations.
