EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an engraving of Alexander Pope, the renowned English writer and poet who lived from 1688 to 1744. The image captures a momentous letter written by Pope to Earl Halifax in 1714, which is beautifully depicted in this artwork created by an anonymous English School artist in the 19th century. The letter itself holds great significance as it highlights Pope's plea to Halifax not to forget Homer while he diligently carries out justice for all. This particular correspondence was sent on December 3rd, 1714, expressing gratitude for past and future favors bestowed upon him by the Earl of Halifax. Displayed within a private collection, this engraving was originally intended as an illustration for Frederick G Netherclift's "The Handbook to Autographs" published around 1880. It serves as a testament to Pope's literary prowess and his deep appreciation for classical literature. Alexander Pope remains one of history's most influential writers and authors. His translations of Homer's works hold immense value even today, showcasing his mastery over language and storytelling. This print allows us to glimpse into the world of this esteemed writer, capturing both his handwriting and signature with remarkable clarity.
