EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, created around 1820 by Edward Scriven after a portrait by an anonymous English School artist from the 17th century, depicts the renowned poet John Taylor. Known for his self-proclaimed title "The Water Poet". Taylor (1578-1653) was a prominent figure in English literature during the Renaissance era. In this half-length portrait, Taylor's piercing gaze meets the viewer's eyes with confidence and intellect. His expressive face is framed by a fashionable ruff collar, which adds an air of elegance to his attire. The intricate details of his costume are expertly captured through Scriven's masterful engraving technique. Displayed in a private collection, this print offers us a glimpse into the life and personality of one of England's most celebrated poets. Taylor's literary contributions were vast and varied, encompassing satirical works as well as travelogues that chronicled his adventures across land and sea. As we admire this historic artwork, we can't help but be transported back to a time when poetry reigned supreme and words held immense power. This engraving serves as both a tribute to John Taylor's enduring legacy and an invitation to delve into the rich tapestry of literature that he helped shape.
