Dr Johnson's House, 17 Gough Square, London, 1912
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the enchanting world of Dr Samuel Johnson, one of England's most renowned lexicographers and men of letters. The image beautifully captures his former residence at 17 Gough Square in London during the early 20th century. The grandeur of this eighteenth-century house is evident in its elegant exterior. Its architectural details stand as a testament to the rich history that unfolded within its walls. Now transformed into a museum, it serves as a literary shrine where visitors can immerse themselves in the life and work of this esteemed figure. Frederick Adcock skillfully depicts every nuance of this historic building with his meticulous engraving technique. The monochrome palette adds an air of timelessness to the scene, transporting us back to an era when Dr Johnson's intellectual prowess flourished. As we gaze upon this print, we cannot help but imagine the countless hours spent by Dr Johnson within these very rooms—engaged in passionate debates with fellow intellectuals such as James Boswell or crafting his monumental dictionary that would shape English language for generations to come. Through this artwork, Frederick Adcock invites us on a journey through time—a glimpse into the world inhabited by one of literature's greatest minds. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, Dr Samuel Johnson continues to inspire and captivate those who seek knowledge and appreciate the power of words.
