EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the esteemed figure of Hester Lynch Piozzi, a prominent Welsh-born diarist, author, and patron of the arts. Born in 1741 as Hester Lynch Salusbury, she later became known as Hester Lynch Thrale after her first marriage and eventually adopted the name Hester Lynch Piozzi following her second union. Her extensive diaries and correspondence provide invaluable insights into the life of Samuel Johnson and offer a glimpse into English society during the 18th century. The photograph is taken from "The Life of Samuel Johnson" by James Boswell, published in London in 1907 by Sir Isaac Pitman & Sons Ltd. It portrays Piozzi seated with a profile view, exuding an air of elegance and intellect. The monochrome aesthetic adds to its timeless appeal.
