Otway, (1652-1685), 1830 - A Glimpse into the Life of a Struggling Dramatist
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures the essence of Thomas Otway, an English Restoration dramatist who lived during the 17th century. The image showcases Otway's direct gaze, offering a glimpse into his world filled with misfortune and poverty. Educated at Winchester College and Christ Church, Oxford, Otway's promising future was cut short when he left university without obtaining a degree. Disbanded from service in the Netherlands with depreciated paper, he found himself battling against relentless hardships that ultimately led to his untimely death. The engraving featured in this print is part of "Biographical Illustrations" a book by Alfred Howard published in 1830. It sheds light on Otway's struggles as it narrates his story through powerful imagery. Dressed in period clothing with an open collar, Otway stands as a symbol of resilience amidst adversity. His portrait serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by artists throughout history while pursuing their passion for literature and performing arts. Through this photograph captured by an unknown creator from the 19th century, we are transported back in time to witness one man's journey through poverty and hardship. It invites us to reflect upon our own lives and appreciate the determination required to overcome obstacles on our path towards success.
