EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases John Hawkesworth, an influential English writer and book editor of the 18th century. Born in London around 1715, Hawkesworth was a self-educated individual who initially worked as a clerk and attorney before making his mark in the literary world. His contributions to Gentlemans Magazine were highly regarded during his time. The photograph is taken from "Biographical Illustrations" by Alfred Howard, published in 1830 by Thomas Tegg, R. Griffin and Co. , J. Cumming in London, Glasgow, and Dublin. The image portrays Hawkesworth with great dignity and sophistication. Hawkesworth's profile is captured beautifully as he dons formal attire adorned with fur trimmings on his collar. This depiction reflects the fashion trends of the era while also highlighting his status as a prominent figure within British society. The engraving offers us a glimpse into both the history of literature and the life of this remarkable man. It serves as a testament to Hawkesworth's significant contribution to publishing through his role as an editor and author. As we admire this portrait today, we are reminded of how individuals like John Hawkesworth shaped not only their own professions but also influenced generations that followed them.
