EDITORS COMMENTS
The Vegetarian System - Some leading members of the Vegetarian Society, published in The Graphic, 1874" captures a significant moment in the history of vegetarianism. This engraving showcases four prominent figures who played crucial roles in promoting meat-free diets during the Victorian era. In this portrait, we see John Davie Esq, Prof. Francis W. Newman (1805-1897), Isaac Pitman Esq (1813-1897), and W. Gibson Ward, Esq. , all distinguished gentlemen with impressive beards that were characteristic of their time. They stand together as reformers and leaders within the Vegetarian Society. The image not only highlights their commitment to vegetarianism but also sheds light on their individual contributions to society. Prof. Francis W. Newman served as President of The Vegetarian Society from 1873 to 1884, while Isaac Pitman was not only a Vice-President but also an inventor renowned for developing shorthand writing systems widely used at that time. This photograph print serves as a reminder of the early efforts made by these men to support and increase the number of vegetarians in the UK through advocacy and education about dietary requirements without meat consumption. As we gaze upon this historical image today, it allows us to reflect on how far vegetarianism has come since its inception over a century ago and appreciate those pioneers who paved the way for our modern understanding of plant-based diets.
