EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Alfred, Lord Tennyson, one of Britain's most renowned poets. Taken in 1893 by Henry Herschel Hay Cameron, this photogravure showcases Tennyson's striking appearance and iconic long hair that became synonymous with his image. Tennyson, a poet laureate during the Victorian era, is depicted here as a distinguished gentleman with an air of wisdom and contemplation. His piercing gaze reflects his deep connection to literature and the power of words. As he gazes into the distance, one can almost sense the creative thoughts swirling within his mind. The composition beautifully highlights Tennyson's features - from his well-groomed beard to his expressive eyes. The play between light and shadow adds depth to the portrait, emphasizing both Tennyson's physical presence and intellectual prowess. This photograph is part of an album titled "Lord Tennyson and His Friends" which serves as a testament to Tennyson's influence on British society at that time. It offers viewers a glimpse into the world of this literary giant while also celebrating Henry Herschel Hay Cameron's talent for capturing profound moments through photography. As we admire this timeless image today at the Art Institute Chicago or any art gallery fortunate enough to possess it, we are reminded of Lord Alfred Tennyson’s enduring legacy as not only a poet but also as an emblematic figure who shaped British literature in the nineteenth century.
