EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Scholar and Clergyman of the Eighteenth Century: Reverend Andre Coltee Ducarel Andre Coltee Ducarel (1713-1785), a French churchman and antiquary, is depicted in this evocative portrait. Born in France, Ducarel came to England in the mid-eighteenth century, where he made significant contributions to the fields of history and archaeology. Ducarel's academic pursuits began in earnest during his time at the University of Caen in France. However, it was in England that his career truly flourished. He was ordained as a deacon in the Church of England and served as a curate in various parishes. Simultaneously, he dedicated himself to the study of antiquities, amassing an extensive collection of ancient coins, medals, and inscriptions. This image captures Ducarel in the prime of his life, with a thoughtful expression and an air of intellectual curiosity. He is dressed in the robes of a clergyman, reflecting his dual roles as a man of the church and a scholar. The presence of books and manuscripts in the background further underscores his commitment to learning. Ducarel's work was groundbreaking in its time, as he applied rigorous scholarly methods to the study of ancient artifacts. He published numerous articles and books, including "An Essay on the Ancient Coins of the British Isles," which remains a seminal work in numismatics. As a Frenchman living in England during a time of political tension between the two countries, Ducarel's loyalty was often questioned. However, his contributions to the fields of history and archaeology transcended national boundaries, earning him the respect of his peers and securing his place in the annals of academic history. This portrait offers a glimpse into the life of a remarkable man who straddled the worlds of religion and scholarship, leaving an indelible mark on the intellectual landscape of his time.
