EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the renowned Benjamin Jonson, an influential figure in English Renaissance literature. Created by E Scriven in 1834, this portrait beautifully captures Jonson's personality and occupation as a dramatist, poet, and actor. Jonson, born around 1572 and passing away in 1637, left an indelible mark on British arts and literature. He is best remembered for his acclaimed plays Volpone and The Alchemist, which continue to be celebrated even today. Additionally, his lyric poems showcase his immense talent as a wordsmith. In this monochrome engraving, Jonson is depicted wearing a distinguished Jacobean dress with intricate lace collars that epitomize the fashion of the time. His confident gaze reflects both his profession as well as his significant contributions to the literary world. Evidently captured during the nineteenth century by E Scriven – not to be confused with any commercial entity – this print serves as a testament to Jonson's enduring legacy. It reminds us of the rich cultural heritage that England possesses through its remarkable playwrights and poets. Whether you are an admirer of English Renaissance literature or simply appreciate historical portraits capturing iconic personalities like Benjamin Jonson, this print is sure to captivate your imagination.
