Henry Crabb Robinson at the Age of 86 - A Portrait of a Distinguished Lawyer and Diarist
EDITORS COMMENTS
Description: This portrait captures the wise and introspective gaze of Henry Crabb Robinson, an eminent lawyer and diarist, as he sits comfortably in his chair at the age of 86. Born in 1775, Robinson was a significant figure in the intellectual and cultural circles of 19th-century England. His extensive diaries, which he began keeping at the age of 26, offer invaluable insights into the lives of many famous literary and historical figures of his time, including Samuel Taylor Coleridge, William Wordsworth, and Thomas Carlyle. Robinson's legal career began in 1796 when he was admitted to the Middle Temple, a prestigious legal society in London. He went on to build a successful practice, focusing on property law and equity cases. However, it was his diaries, which he continued to maintain until his death in 1867, that have left a lasting impact on history. These diaries, now held at the Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington, D.C., provide a unique window into the social, political, and intellectual life of Victorian England. The portrait, taken towards the end of Robinson's long and productive life, reveals a man of great intellect and character. His piercing eyes seem to convey a deep sense of curiosity and a keen understanding of the world around him. The intricately patterned waistcoat and cravat, along with the elegant furniture and decor in the background, serve as reminders of the refined sensibilities of the era. This portrait is not only a testament to Robinson's distinguished career but also a poignant reminder of the rich historical legacy he left behind.
