EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the image of Samuel von Pufendorf, a prominent figure in 17th-century Germany. Pufendorf was not only a jurist but also a political philosopher, economist, and historian. His contributions to natural law theories revised the works of Thomas Hobbes and Hugo Grotius, making him an influential figure during the Enlightenment period in Germany. The direct gaze of Pufendorf towards the camera reflects his confidence and intellectual prowess. The engraving showcases his aristocratic status as he was made a baron by Charles XI of Sweden. This recognition highlights his significant impact on political philosophy and economics. The print is taken from "Biographical Illustrations" by Alfred Howard, published in 1830 by Thomas Tegg, R. Griffin & Co. , J. Cumming in London, Glasgow, and Dublin. Although the creator remains unknown, this image provides us with a glimpse into the life of this remarkable man who played an instrumental role in shaping Enlightenment thought not only in Germany but also influencing concepts that would later contribute to the American Revolution. This historical artifact serves as a reminder of Pufendorf's lasting legacy within academia and politics alike. It stands as testament to his profound influence on German intellectual history during one of its most transformative periods.
