EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the remarkable portrait of Thomas Laugher, commonly known as Old Tommy, created by Robert Cooper in 1821. The image showcases a full-length engraving of centenarian Thomas Laugher, who was born around 1700 and captured at the age of 107 in 1807. This portrait is featured in Henry Wilson's book "Wonderful Characters: Comprising Memoirs and Anecdotes of the Most Remarkable Persons of Every Age and Nation", Volume I. The photograph exudes a sense of history and nostalgia, transporting us back to early 19th century Britain. It offers a glimpse into the life of an elderly man who has witnessed significant changes throughout his long existence. With its monochrome aesthetic, this print beautifully portrays the wisdom etched on Old Tommy's face as he reflects on a lifetime filled with experiences. Robert Cooper's skillful craftsmanship is evident in every detail captured within this engraving. From James Robins & Co. 's Albion Press in London, this piece serves as both art and documentation, preserving not only Thomas Laugher's likeness but also his story for future generations to appreciate. As we gaze upon this powerful image, we are reminded that old age carries with it tales untold and lessons learned.
