EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a portrait of Eustace Budgell, an intriguing figure from the 18th century. Born in 1686, Budgell was an English writer and politician who studied at Trinity College, Oxford. He gained recognition for his contributions to The Spectator, a prominent publication of the time. However, his life took a tragic turn when he lost money in the infamous South Sea Bubble financial crisis. The image depicts Budgell looking away from the camera with a contemplative expression on his face. It is evident that this engraving was created with great attention to detail by an unknown artist in 1830 as part of "Biographical Illustrations" by Alfred Howard. Budgell's story ends tragically as he committed suicide by throwing himself from a boat at London Bridge. This event marked not only the end of his life but also highlighted the immense pressure and despair faced by individuals during that era. This portrait offers us a glimpse into Budgell's world - one filled with literary pursuits, political involvement, and ultimately personal struggles. It serves as a poignant reminder of both the triumphs and tragedies experienced by historical figures like Eustace Budgell within their respective societies.
