EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Tobias George Smollett, a prominent Scottish poet and author of the 18th century. The image, taken in 1830 by an unknown creator, captures Smollett's direct gaze as he looks confidently at the camera. Smollett's remarkable life journey is reflected in this portrait. Born in 1721, he received his education at the University of Glasgow where he qualified as a surgeon. His adventurous spirit led him to spend time in Jamaica before returning to England. Renowned for his literary contributions, Smollett translated Miguel de Cervantes' iconic novel Don Quixote into English. This achievement propelled him into the role of editor for The Critical Review, solidifying his position as a respected figure within British literature. The engraving beautifully portrays Smollett's profession and occupation while hinting at his passion for medicine and writing. It serves as a testament to both his intellectual pursuits and historical significance during the colonial era. Preserved through time, this portrait offers us a glimpse into the world of an influential man who left an indelible mark on literature and history alike. Its inclusion in Alfred Howard's "Biographical Illustrations" further emphasizes its value as a piece of cultural heritage that continues to inspire generations with its timeless charm.
