EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enigmatic figure of B. Jonson, a renowned English playwright and poet from the 16th to 17th century. Created in 1830 by an unknown artist, this image showcases Jonson's distinctive appearance with his long beard and direct gaze. Educated at Westminster School and Cambridge University, Jonson was a key figure in popularizing the comedy of humours during the Renaissance era. Known for his controversial works, he became an important dramatist during the reign of James I. The photograph is taken from "Biographical Illustrations" by Alfred Howard, published by Thomas Tegg, R. Griffin and Co. , J. Cumming in London, Glasgow, and Dublin in 1830. The image not only portrays Jonson himself but also provides insight into the fashion of that time period with his elaborate coat adorned with buttons. With its historical significance, this portrait offers a glimpse into British history as it depicts one of its most influential literary figures. It serves as a reminder of Jonson's lasting impact on English literature and theater while showcasing the artistic talent behind capturing such moments in time through engraving techniques.
