EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the esteemed Thomas Carlyle, a prominent Scottish author and social commentator of the 19th century. With his piercing gaze and distinguished demeanor, Carlyle exudes an air of intellectual prowess and literary brilliance. Born in 1795 into a strict Calvinist family, Carlyle's upbringing greatly influenced his writings and beliefs.

Relocating to London shortly after their union, he emerged as a controversial figure within Victorian society. Carlyle's literary contributions were vast and impactful. His notable works include "The Life of Friedrich Schiller" (1825), "The French Revolution" (1837), "Sartor Resartus" (1838), "Chartism" (1840), "Past and Present" (1843), as well as the monumental six-volume series on the history of Frederick II of Prussia titled "History of Friedrich II of Prussia: Called Fredrick the Great" (1858-65).
