EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases John Milton's monument, located in St Giles Church, Cripplegate, London around 1850. The monument pays tribute to the renowned English poet and writer, John Milton (1608-1674), who is best known for his epic masterpiece Paradise Lost, first published in 1667. Despite losing his sight completely around 1652, Milton continued to create profound literary works that have left an indelible mark on English literature. The photograph captures the interior of the church with its stunning architecture and vibrant colors. In the center stands a sculpture of John Milton himself—a bust portrait that immortalizes this influential figure. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the immense talent and resilience of Milton as he overcame blindness to produce some of the most significant works in English poetry. St Giles Church serves as a fitting location for this memorial, symbolizing both religious devotion and artistic expression. This snapshot transports us back to seventeenth-century Britain when Milton's words resonated deeply within society. It reminds us not only of his literary contributions but also highlights how art can transcend time and connect generations. As we contemplate this print from Old England's Worthies (London c1850), our admiration for John Milton grows stronger. His legacy lives on through his enduring words and continues to inspire writers and readers alike across different eras and cultures
