EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the distinguished figure of Edmund Burke, an influential Anglo-Irish statesman, author, orator, political theorist, and philosopher. Created by the talented artist Whymper around 1880, this portrait captures Burke's essence and significance during his time. Burke's reputation as one of the greatest Parliamentary speakers during George III's reign is well-deserved. Known for his eloquence and persuasive abilities, he passionately supported the grievances of American colonies while vehemently opposing the French Revolution. This image portrays a man deeply committed to his convictions and unafraid to express them. The miniature by Sir Joshua Reynolds serves as a reference for this print. Reynolds was renowned for his ability to capture not only physical likeness but also inner character in his portraits. Through this collaboration between two artistic minds - Whymper and Reynolds - we are presented with a powerful representation of Burke. As we delve into history through Cassells History of the United States by Edmund Ollier, Volume II (c1880), we encounter this remarkable visual portrayal that transports us back to the 18th century. The engraving depicts Burke wearing a wig, symbolizing both tradition and authority. Intriguingly complex yet undeniably significant in shaping political thought at that time, Edmund Burke stands tall in this print – a testament to his unwavering dedication as an esteemed statesman and philosopher who left an indelible mark on British politics and beyond.
