EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the esteemed Samuel Richardson, an influential English writer and printer from the 18th century. The image, captured by talented artist Joseph Highmore in approximately 1750, presents Richardson in a head and shoulders portrait. Richardson's distinguished appearance is highlighted by his elaborate wig, a fashion statement of the Georgian era. His poised expression exudes intelligence and creativity, reflecting his significant contributions to literature during his lifetime. As a novelist and author, Richardson played a pivotal role in shaping British literature. Known for works such as "Pamela" and "Clarissa" he revolutionized the genre of epistolary novels with his intricate character development and exploration of moral themes. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth to this print collector's engraving, emphasizing both the historical significance of Richardson's legacy and the artistic mastery behind capturing his likeness. This photograph was featured in Sir Walter Besant's book "London - North of the Thames" published by Adam & Charles Black in 1911. It serves as a testament to Richardson's enduring impact on English literature while also offering viewers an intimate glimpse into the life of this remarkable man who left an indelible mark on literary history.
