Bread Chappel Cheese Eccentric Grating Habit Lack Nutmeg Oddity Oxford Resident Samuel Teeth Grater
EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing 18th century print depicts the eccentric figure of Samuel Chappel Grater, a resident of Oxford, who became known by the unusual nickname 'Grater' due to his distinctive habit. Born in the early centuries of Oxford's rich history, Chappel's lack of teeth made it necessary for him to grate his bread into small pieces before consuming it. This oddity, combined with his penchant for adding nutmeg or cheese to his meager meals, further added to his peculiar persona. The print captures Chappel in a moment of quiet contemplation, his expression thoughtful as he holds a small grater in one hand and a loaf of bread in the other. Dressed in the simple attire of the time, he appears as an anomaly amidst the bustling streets of Oxford. His eccentric behavior, while perhaps odd to some, was a testament to his resourcefulness and determination to live a fulfilling life despite his physical limitations. This historical print offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the lives of those who lived before us. Samuel Chappel Grater may have been an oddball in his time, but his story serves as a reminder that each person, no matter how unconventional, leaves a unique mark on history.
