EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable Samuel Johnson, a prominent figure in English literature during the 18th century. Known as Dr. Johnson, he was an accomplished writer, poet, essayist, moralist, literary critic, biographer, editor, and lexicographer. The illustration by Gordon Ross beautifully captures his essence. In this portrait-style drawing, we see Johnson's distinguished features and piercing gaze that reflect his intellect and depth of knowledge. His white hair adds to his air of wisdom and maturity. The artist skillfully portrays him in a front-facing pose with head and shoulders visible. Johnson's contributions to the literary world cannot be overstated. He left an indelible mark through his writings on various subjects ranging from morality to language itself. As an editor and lexicographer, he played a pivotal role in creating one of the most influential dictionaries of all time - "A Dictionary of the English Language". This historic image transports us back to a time when intellectual giants like Samuel Johnson shaped our understanding of literature and language. It serves as a reminder of their enduring legacy that continues to inspire writers today. Ken Welsh's archival print preserves this significant moment in history for generations to come while paying homage to both Dr. Johnson's brilliance and Gordon Ross' artistic talent.
