EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a significant historical artifact - a letter from William Ewart Gladstone to Anthony Panizzi, dated 29th November 1856. The artist behind this remarkable piece is none other than Gladstone himself, who not only excelled in politics but also possessed artistic talent. The letter was written by Gladstone from Hawarden and references Panizzi's criticisms on his comparison between Homer and Tasso in an article titled "Homer and his Successors in Epic Poetry". This article was published in the Quarterly Review for January 1857. In addition to discussing literary matters, the letter delves into Gladstone's ideas regarding the principles that should govern foreign policy. Displayed within the British Museum's collection of royal, historical, literary, and other autographs, this facsimile offers us a glimpse into Victorian-era correspondence. The color palette used adds vibrancy to the handwriting while evoking a sense of nostalgia for this bygone era. Antonio Panizzi (also known as Sir Anthony Panizzi) played a crucial role as Principal Librarian of the British Museum during this time period. His expertise as a literary critic is evident through his critique of Gladstone's work. Overall, this print captures not only an important moment in history but also highlights the intersection between literature, criticism, artistry, and politics during the nineteenth century. It serves as a testament to both these influential figures - William Ewart Gladstone and Antonio Panizzi - who left indelible marks on their respective fields.
