EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the esteemed figure of Anthony Panizzi, an Italian bibliographer whose life was marked by resilience and intellectual prowess. Born in 1797, Panizzi's journey took a dramatic turn when he fled his homeland during the tumultuous 1821 revolution in Italy. Seeking refuge abroad, he eventually found solace and purpose as the Chief Librarian at the British Museum from 1856 to 1866. Panizzi's influence extended far beyond his role as a librarian; he left an indelible mark on the institution itself. Notably, it was under his guidance that the iconic Reading Room was designed, becoming a sanctuary for scholars and intellectuals alike. This photograph showcases Panizzi's profound impact on knowledge dissemination. The image also features a whimsical touch with an accompanying cartoon from Vanity Fair dated January 17th, 1874. Created by Carlo Pellegrini (known as "Ape"), this caricature playfully highlights Panizzi's scholarly persona while adding a lighthearted element to his story. Through this photo print, we are invited to reflect upon Anthony Panizzi's remarkable journey - from being forced into exile as a political refugee to becoming one of Britain's most influential bibliographers. His legacy continues to inspire generations of scholars who benefit from his contributions to library science and intellectual pursuits.
