EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Unique Portrayal of Sir William Dugdale: Antiquary and Author (1605-1686) Sir William Dugdale, a renowned antiquary and author, is depicted in this intriguing print. Born in 1605 and passing away in 1686, Dugdale dedicated his life to the study and preservation of English history. Though this print is identified as being of Sir William Dugdale, it stands out from all other known portraits of him. Unlike the formal and serious depictions of Dugdale in other portraits, this print captures him in a more relaxed and informal setting. He is seen wearing a simple, unadorned robe, and his expression is thoughtful yet approachable. The background is plain, with no grand surroundings or symbols of wealth or power. Despite its informal appearance, this print is a testament to the enduring legacy of Sir William Dugdale. As an antiquary, he meticulously documented the history of English monasteries and their records, publishing "Monasticon Anglicanum," a comprehensive work on the subject. As an author, he penned numerous other historical works, including "The Antiquities of Warwickshire." This unique portrait offers a glimpse into the personal side of a man who dedicated his life to the pursuit of knowledge and the preservation of history. It serves as a reminder that even the most dedicated scholars and historians were human beings, with their own unique characteristics and quirks. In conclusion, this print of Sir William Dugdale is a valuable addition to any collection of historical portraits. It offers a fresh perspective on a man who made significant contributions to the field of English history and provides a glimpse into the life of a dedicated antiquary and author.
