EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the Vera Effigies Guilielmi Burton, a notable figure from the 17th century. Created by Wenceslaus Hollar, an esteemed cartographer and topographer of his time, this portrait showcases William Burton in all his scholarly glory. As an L. L. Baccalaurei, or Bachelor of Laws, Burton's dedication to education is evident. In this etching, we see a distinguished man with a serious expression on his face. His job as a schoolmaster and teacher shines through in his confident demeanor. The intricate details captured by Hollar highlight not only Burton's profession but also his Bohemian heritage. Hollar's expertise in mapmaking is evident in the precision with which he portrays every line and contour of Burton's features. This print serves as a testament to both men's talents - one as an accomplished artist and the other as an influential educator. Now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this piece adds to their extensive collection of historical portraits that depict individuals who have made significant contributions to society. It stands as a reminder of the importance of education and how it shapes our understanding of the world. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the legacy left behind by William Burton - a man dedicated to shaping young minds while leaving his mark on history.
