EDITORS COMMENTS
Dr. Johnson Discoursing With His Friends, c1900, (1912) captures a fascinating moment in literary history. In this colorised print by Harold Edward Hughes Nelson, we are transported to the 18th century where Samuel Johnson, affectionately known as Dr. Johnson, engages in lively conversation with his companions. Samuel Johnson was a polymath - writer, poet, essayist, moralist, literary critic, biographer, editor and lexicographer - whose contributions to English literature were immense. This image showcases him at his best: surrounded by fellow intellectuals and deep in discussion at a table laden with books. The scene exudes an air of intellectual camaraderie as these men gather together to exchange ideas and debate important topics of their time. Their animated gestures and engaged expressions reveal their passion for knowledge and the written word. The attention to detail in this print is remarkable; from the intricate furniture design to the meticulously rendered wigs worn by some of the gentlemen present. The colorisation adds vibrancy to an otherwise monochromatic scene while preserving its historical essence. As we gaze upon this image from Bibbys Annual 1912 publication by J. Bibby & Sons of Liverpool, we can't help but be transported back in time to witness firsthand the brilliance that emanated from Dr. Samuel Johnson's circle of friends.
