1850s Desk Envelope Humphrey Letter Prolific
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the image of George Mogridge (1787-1854), a prolific English writer, poet, and children's author, also known by the pen name Old Humphrey, in his study during the Victorian era, around the 1850s. The setting is filled with the atmosphere of the time, with the author deep in thought as he sits at his cluttered desk, surrounded by stacks of papers, inkwell, and quills. A half-written letter and an envelope lying nearby suggest the urgency of his correspondence. The man's serious expression and the dimly lit room add to the sense of concentration and dedication to his craft. Mogridge was a prolific writer, penning numerous works for both adults and children, including poetry, novels, and educational texts. His popular children's books, such as "The History of England for Boys and Girls," were widely read and well-received during the period. This photograph offers a glimpse into the life of a dedicated Victorian writer, immersed in his work and lost in the world of his imagination.
