EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the meticulous notes made by Izaak Walton, a renowned artist and writer, in approximately 1662. The image captures the fly-leaf of a copy of The Book of Common Prayer, adorned with Walton's elegant handwriting. These entries hold profound significance as they record both joyous and sorrowful moments in his life. The script beautifully documents the births of three beloved children alongside the heartbreaking deaths of Rachel Floud, his first wife on August 22nd, 1640, and Anne Ken, his second wife on April 17th, 1662. Additionally, an intriguing draft of Anne Ken's epitaph at Worcester Cathedral is included. Notably different from the final version engraved on her tombstone, this draft bears the poignant words "Ex terris M. S" at its beginning and concludes with "Aged 25. Study to be like her". The vibrant colors and immaculate handwriting showcased in this seventeenth-century manuscript exemplify Walton's artistic prowess while simultaneously reflecting his devout Christian faith. This remarkable facsimile provides a glimpse into an era when handwritten correspondence held immense importance. As we delve into this extraordinary piece from Heritage Images' fifth series of Facsimiles of royal autographs housed in the British Museum's Department of Manuscripts (London, 1899), we are transported back to a time where personal records were meticulously crafted by hand—a testament to both artistry and religious devotion that continues to captivate viewers today.
