EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the image of Garth, a prominent figure in 17th and 18th-century England. The creator of this intriguing portrait remains unknown, adding an air of mystery to the subject's story. Sir Samuel Garth (1661-1719) was not only an English physician but also a talented poet who received his education at Peterhouse, Cambridge. In 1699, Garth found himself entangled in the Sarah Stout Affair when he was called upon to provide evidence. This event showcased his expertise as a member of the College of Physicians and further solidified his reputation within British society. His contributions were recognized by King George I, who knighted him in 1714. The photograph is taken from "Biographical Illustrations" by Alfred Howard, published in London, Glasgow, and Dublin in 1830. It offers us a glimpse into history through its detailed engraving that highlights Garth's long hair and distinguished appearance. As we observe this image today, we are reminded of the significant role played by individuals like Garth during this transformative period in British history. Their contributions to medicine, literature, and society shaped our understanding of these times. This print serves as both a historical artifact and a testament to one man's journey through academia and public life.
