EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Statue of Johnson, created in 1898 by an unknown artist. The Grade II listed statue pays homage to Dr Samuel Johnson, a renowned English writer, poet, moralist, and biographer. Located in Lichfield, England, this historical masterpiece stands tall as a symbol of literary excellence. The photograph was featured in "Our Own Country, Volume II" published by Cassell and Company Ltd in London during the late 19th century. It captures the essence of Victorian-era artistry with its detailed engraving and monochromatic tones. In this image, Dr Samuel Johnson is depicted seated on a stone pedestal amidst the bustling streets of Lichfield. He appears deep in thought while holding a book - perhaps one of his own influential works that have left an indelible mark on British literature. The statue's surroundings are beautifully captured as well; ornate railings enclose the area while a street lamp illuminates the scene. This juxtaposition between history and modernity creates an intriguing vista for both locals and tourists alike. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of art from over a century ago, we are reminded not only of Dr Samuel Johnson's significant contributions but also of the enduring power that literature holds within our society.
