EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative 18th-century print captures a moment of literary and intellectual camaraderie at the Mitre Tavern in London. At the heart of the scene is Dr. Samuel Johnson, the renowned English writer, poet, scholar, and critic, who stands out with his distinctive figure and intense gaze. Surrounded by friends, both men and women, Johnson engages in animated conversation, no doubt sharing his latest insights and ideas. The Mitre Tavern, a popular gathering place for intellectuals and artists, provides the perfect backdrop for this social exchange. The warm, inviting atmosphere is palpable, with the soft glow of candles casting an amber hue over the scene. The presence of women in the group underscores the inclusive nature of the literary and intellectual circles of the time. This print offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of 18th-century English literature and the vibrant social scene that nurtured it.
