EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts an intimate moment between three influential figures of 18th century literature and history: James Boswell, John Wilkes, and Oliver Goldsmith, immortalized in their prime. James Boswell (1740-1795), a Scottish lawyer and renowned biographer, is captured on the left with a warm, inviting smile. Boswell is best known for his groundbreaking biography of Samuel Johnson, which provides invaluable insights into the life and mind of one of England's greatest literary figures. In the center, we find John Wilkes (1727-1797), a prominent political figure and satirist, who is famous for his defiance against the government and his wit. Wilkes' mischievous grin adds an air of intrigue to the image. On the right, Oliver Goldsmith (1728-1774), an Anglo-Irish novelist and poet, completes the trio. Goldsmith's plump, round face and thoughtful expression convey a deep sense of wisdom and introspection. The three men, all wearing white wigs, are dressed in the fashionable attire of the time, adding to the historical authenticity of the print. This image offers a glimpse into the lives of these remarkable individuals, who left indelible marks on literature, politics, and society during the Age of Enlightenment. Their friendship and intellectual pursuits continue to captivate scholars and enthusiasts alike, making this print a valuable addition to any collection of historical portraits.
