EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Thomas Miller: The Curious Case of the Bookseller-Numismatist of Bungay, Suffolk (1731-1804)" Thomas Miller, a man of many passions and interests, is depicted in this evocative portrait, which dates back to the early 18th century. Born in the picturesque town of Bungay, Suffolk, Miller was known for his dual roles as a renowned bookseller and an avid numismatist - a collector and scholar of ancient coins. The image captures Thomas Miller in the prime of his life, with a thoughtful expression and a keen gaze that seems to suggest a deep connection to the world of knowledge and antiquities. His attire, consisting of a simple waistcoat and breeches, is indicative of the period, while the presence of an open book on the table before him hints at his dedication to the literary arts. Miller's passion for numismatics, however, was no less fervent than his love for books. He amassed an impressive collection of coins, many of which were ancient and rare, and was a respected authority in the field. His expertise and knowledge drew scholars and collectors from far and wide, making his humble shop in Bungay a hub of intellectual curiosity. Despite his success as a bookseller, Miller's true joy lay in the pursuit of knowledge, be it through the pages of a book or the study of a coin. His life serves as a testament to the enduring power of curiosity and the importance of preserving the past for future generations. This portrait offers a glimpse into the life of a man whose passions transcended the boundaries of his time and continues to inspire and intrigue us today. Thomas Miller, the bookseller-numismatist of Bungay, Suffolk, remains an enigmatic figure in the annals of history, forever linked to the rich cultural heritage of his beloved town.
