EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Sir Henry Creswicke Rawlinson, a remarkable British soldier and orientalist. Taken in 1882 by renowned photographers Lock & Whitfield, this portrait showcases Rawlinson's distinguished features with great detail. Rawlinson's significant contributions to archaeology are well-documented, particularly his groundbreaking work in Mesopotamia that led to the decipherment of cuneiform script. His expertise and dedication to unraveling ancient mysteries have left an indelible mark on the field. In this profile portrait, Rawlinson's bald head and well-groomed moustache command attention. The lines etched on his face tell stories of wisdom gained through years of exploration and discovery. As a man of action, he epitomizes Victorian ideals of bravery and intellectual prowess. The image exudes a sense of professionalism befitting an archaeologist and orientalist like Rawlinson. It serves as a testament to his commitment towards uncovering historical truths buried beneath layers of time. Lock & Whitfield masterfully captured not only the physical attributes but also the spirit behind Sir Henry Creswicke Rawlinson's persona. This photograph is part of "Men of Mark: A Gallery" which immortalizes influential figures from various fields during the late 19th century. As we gaze upon this powerful portrayal, we are reminded not only of one man's accomplishments but also how individuals can shape history through their relentless pursuit for knowledge.
