EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the image of Sir John Cheke, an influential figure in 16th-century England. Created in 1830 by an unknown artist, this portrait showcases Cheke's distinguished appearance as a bearded man dressed in fur-lined clothing and a hat. Sir John Cheke was not only an English classical scholar but also a statesman who served as the tutor to Prince Edward, who would later become King Edward VI. He held the prestigious position of Provost at Kings College, Cambridge during his lifetime. The engraving is part of "Biographical Illustrations" by Alfred Howard, published by Thomas Tegg, R. Griffin and Co. , J. Cumming in London, Glasgow, and Dublin. This piece exemplifies the artistry prevalent during the 19th century with its attention to detail and composition. Cheke's contribution to literature and education cannot be overstated; he played a crucial role in shaping political thought during his time. His influence extended beyond academia as he actively participated in politics. This portrait offers us a glimpse into history—a snapshot frozen in time that allows us to appreciate both the physical appearance of Sir John Cheke and his significant contributions to British society.
