EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Humphrey Wanley at his Grave: A Scholar Devoted to the Preservation of Antiquities" This evocative image captures the somber yet reflective mood surrounding the grave of Humphrey Wanley (1672-1726), a renowned antiquary and librarian of his time. The photograph, taken from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the life of a man who dedicated himself to the pursuit of knowledge and the preservation of historical artifacts. Humphrey Wanley, with his distinctive wavy hair, is depicted in this print wearing the attire of a scholar - a black robe and a mortarboard hat. His serious expression and furrowed brow suggest the depth of his intellectual pursuits. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the dedication and passion required to make significant contributions to the field of antiquities. Wanley's career began in the late 17th century when he was appointed as the librarian of the Duke of Buckingham's library. He later became the librarian to Sir Robert Cotton, a prominent antiquary and collector. Wanley's expertise in ancient manuscripts and rare books made him an invaluable asset to these esteemed institutions. Despite his impressive accomplishments, Wanley's life was not without challenges. He faced financial difficulties towards the end of his career and was forced to sell many of his valuable possessions, including his extensive library. Nevertheless, his contributions to the study of antiquities were significant, and he is remembered for his groundbreaking work on early English typography and his efforts to preserve historical records. As we gaze upon this image of Humphrey Wanley at his grave, we are reminded of the enduring power of knowledge and the importance of preserving our historical heritage. The image invites us to reflect on the lives of those who have dedicated themselves to the pursuit of knowledge and the preservation of our collective history.
