EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable portrait of either William Faithorne the Elder or his son, William Faithorne the Younger. Both renowned artists and engravers, this oval-shaped artwork was skillfully crafted by Alexander Bannerman in the 17th century. The image captures the head and shoulders of a distinguished gentleman with an intriguing hairstyle, reflecting the fashion trends of that era. The monochrome composition exudes a sense of timelessness, transporting us back to 17th-century Britain. The subject's gaze is fixed intently on something beyond our view, perhaps contemplating his next artistic creation or lost in deep thought about his profession. This evocative portrait offers a glimpse into the life and occupation of this talented artist from England. Preserved within the Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, this photograph allows us to appreciate not only Bannerman's artistry but also provides insight into an important figure in British art history. It serves as a reminder of how art has shaped our understanding of culture throughout centuries.
