EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Dr Johnson and Boswell in Fleet Street" we are transported back to the bustling streets of 18th century London. The image captures the English man of letters, Dr Samuel Johnson, and his Scottish friend and biographer, James Boswell, as they pass through Ludgate, one of the old gates into the City of London. As they stroll along Fleet Street, a lively conversation ensues between these two literary giants. Boswell remarks on the cheerfulness that permeates Fleet Street due to its constant flow of people. However, Johnson counters with his belief that Charing Cross holds the true essence of human existence. The artist Charles Green skillfully brings this historical moment to life with vibrant colors and intricate details. We can almost hear their witty banter echoing through the archways and lanes depicted in the print. This image not only offers a glimpse into an era long gone but also serves as a testament to friendship transcending borders. It reminds us of how literature has always been a bridge connecting different cultures and minds. Published for the Johnson Centenary in 1884, this hand-colored print from The Graphic is a valuable piece capturing both architectural features and intellectual discourse. It immortalizes these renowned figures who have left an indelible mark on British literature while providing us with a window into their world filled with wit, conversation, and profound insights.
