EDITORS COMMENTS
Abel Roper, also known as Anon. Eng, was a prominent English journalist and publisher active during the late 17th and early 18th centuries. Born around 1665, Roper is best known for his political and satirical works that provided insightful commentary on the events and personalities of his time. This print depicts Roper in his prime, with his long, curly wig framing a thoughtful expression. Roper's career began in earnest during the late 1600s, when he started producing political broadsheets and pamphlets. His works were often anonymous, hence the pseudonym "Anon. Eng" that became associated with him. However, Roper's identity was eventually revealed, and he continued to publish under his own name. One of Roper's most notable achievements was his role in the production of "The Diary of a Country Parson," a series of satirical publications that offered biting commentary on the political and social issues of the day. These works were widely read and helped shape public opinion during a time of great political upheaval. Despite his success, Roper's career was not without controversy. He was frequently targeted by the authorities for his outspoken views, and was even imprisoned on several occasions. However, Roper's commitment to freedom of speech and his ability to capture the zeitgeist of his time made him a beloved and influential figure in English journalism. This print, likely produced during Roper's later years, offers a glimpse into the life of a man who played a significant role in shaping the political and cultural landscape of his time. With his long, curly wig and thoughtful expression, Roper remains a fascinating figure in the history of journalism and publishing.
