EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the esteemed English writer and poet, Thomas Hardy, circa 1890. Captured by the talented artists W&D Downey for The Cabinet Portrait Gallery, this portrait immortalizes Hardy's distinguished appearance during the late 19th century. Hardy, born in 1840 and passing away in 1928, achieved his initial literary triumph with the publication of his novel Far from the Madding Crowd in 1874. Throughout his illustrious career, he penned numerous notable works including Jude the Obscure (1895), which marked a turning point as he shifted his focus primarily to poetry. Over three decades, from 1898 to 1928, Hardy published eight volumes of poems that solidified his reputation as a revered poet. In this photograph, Hardy's Victorian-era elegance is evident; his face adorned with a well-groomed moustache exudes an air of wisdom and intellect. As one gazes into those piercing eyes captured by Downey's lens, it becomes apparent why Hardy became such an influential figure in literature. This image serves as a testament to not only Hardy's literary prowess but also to W&D Downey's skillful artistry behind the camera lens. Preserved through time within this monochrome print collector’s treasure trove curated by Heritage Images, Thomas Hardy remains forever etched within our collective memory as an iconic figure who shaped British literature during the nineteenth century.
