EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts John Harris (1802-1856), a prominent Churchman, Principal of New College in London, and prolific author. The image, captured around the mid-19th century, shows Harris seated, with a thoughtful expression and a quill pen in hand, as he signs an autograph. The backdrop of the photograph is adorned with books and academic regalia, symbolizing his scholarly pursuits and commitment to education. Born in London in 1802, Harris began his academic career as a Fellow of New College in 1826, and later became Principal in 1847, a position he held until his death in 1856. He was a man of great intellect and profound faith, who dedicated his life to the study of theology and the betterment of his students. Harris is best known for his influential work, "Mammon Unmasked; or, Money Dissected," first published in 1832. This groundbreaking book explored the moral and ethical implications of wealth and the pursuit of material possessions, making it a seminal work in the field of economic ethics. Harris's writings were widely read and highly regarded, and his influence can still be felt in contemporary discussions of wealth, poverty, and social justice. This photograph offers a glimpse into the life of a remarkable man, whose contributions to theology, education, and social thought continue to resonate with us today. The autograph, signed in the year of his death, serves as a poignant reminder of Harris's enduring legacy and the impact he had on generations of students and scholars.
