EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Court-Yard of Mr Strahans House" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the life of Samuel Johnson. The image showcases a private collection that has been digitally cleaned, allowing us to appreciate the intricate details with clarity. The courtyard depicted in this print exudes an air of tranquility and elegance. It serves as a testament to the refined taste and opulence of Mr Strahan's house. The architecture is exquisite, featuring ornate columns and archways that frame the scene beautifully. As we immerse ourselves in this visual narrative, we can almost imagine Dr Johnson himself strolling through this very courtyard. Perhaps he sought solace here amidst his literary pursuits or engaged in lively conversations with fellow intellectuals who frequented his friend's residence. This engraving was originally created as an illustration for James Boswell's renowned biography, "The Life of Samuel Johnson". Its inclusion in such a significant literary work speaks volumes about its historical significance and artistic merit. Through Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, we are fortunate enough to witness this piece from our past come alive once again. It serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that continues to inspire generations today.
