EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the esteemed artist Briton Riviere, captured in 1882 by Lock & Whitfield. Riviere, a renowned painter and Royal Academician, specialized in Classical scenes and animal pictures. His talent earned him the prestigious title of Royal Academician in 1881. The portrait captures Riviere's distinguished appearance with his neatly groomed mustache and intense gaze. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to the image, transporting us back to the vibrant artistic scene of 19th century Britain. Riviere's contribution to the arts is celebrated through this photograph, which was part of "Men of Mark: a gallery of contemporary portraits". This collection featured prominent figures from various fields such as politics, religion, science, literature, art, military service, law, and medicine. Lock & Whitfield skillfully photographed Riviere from life for this series while Thompson Cooper provided brief biographical notices accompanying each portrait. This collaboration between photographers and biographers aimed to honor these influential men who left an indelible mark on Victorian society. As we admire this striking image today courtesy of The Print Collector archive without commercial intent or mention thereof - we are reminded not only of Briton Riviere's remarkable achievements but also how photography can preserve history and pay homage to those who have shaped our world through their talents.
