EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Alfred Tennyson, one of England's most celebrated poets. The cartoon, created by Edward Linley Sambourne in 1882 for Punch magazine, showcases Tennyson sitting on a chair with his head cocked and looking away. His posture exudes an air of contemplation and wisdom. Tennyson, also known as Alfred the Great, was appointed Poet Laureate in 1850 after succeeding William Wordsworth. This prestigious position solidified his status as a literary icon during the Victorian era. Sambourne's illustration beautifully portrays Tennyson's contribution to British culture through poetry. In this artwork, we see Tennyson perching on the edge of his seat, leaning forward slightly as if engaged in deep thought or conversation. A hand rests gently on the armrest while a bird perches nearby – perhaps symbolizing inspiration or freedom of expression found within his verses. The engraving technique used adds depth and texture to the image, enhancing its timeless appeal. As we gaze upon this historic portrait, we are transported back to London in the late 19th century when literature thrived and Tennyson reigned supreme. This fine art print is not only a visual delight but also serves as a reminder of Tennyson's lasting impact on English literature. It pays homage to an extraordinary poet whose words continue to resonate with readers across generations.
