EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enigmatic figure of Sir John Denham, a renowned Anglo-Irish poet and courtier from the 17th century. The image, taken in 1830 by an unknown creator, showcases Denham's stern yet intriguing countenance. Denham's life was marked by both literary brilliance and scandalous affairs. Educated at Trinity College, Oxford, and Lincolns Inn, he gained notoriety for his heavy gambling habits. During the English Civil War, Denham was appointed High Sheriff of Surrey. However, it was his second wife Margaret who truly added to his tumultuous reputation. She engaged in a public affair with King James II, causing quite a stir among the British elite. The photo is part of "Biographical Illustrations" by Alfred Howard - a book that delves into notable figures of British history. Published in London, Glasgow, and Dublin in 1830 by Thomas Tegg and R. Griffin & Co. , this engraving offers us a glimpse into Denham's captivating persona. With its historical significance and artistic charm captured through delicate lines on paper, this photograph serves as a reminder of Denham's complex character - an educated gambler entangled in love affairs amidst the backdrop of political turmoil during one of England's most challenging periods: the English Civil War.
