EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white etching captures a moment from Samuel Johnson's Highland tour in 1773. Created by Thomas Priscott between 1820-25, the print showcases the renowned writer and poet during his exploration of the Scottish Highlands. Clad in a hat and holding a walking stick, Johnson exudes an air of intellectual curiosity as he takes in the breathtaking scenery around him. The artist, inspired by original works from Thomas Trotter and C. G. Dyer, beautifully depicts Johnson's essence as a playwright and theater enthusiast. Known for his influential literary contributions to English literature, Johnson is seen here embodying the spirit of creativity and contemplation. Displayed at the Dallas Museum of Art in Texas, USA, this etching is part of The Alfred and Juanita Bromberg Collection. It serves as a testament to Johnson's enduring legacy as one of England's greatest writers. Through this artwork, viewers are transported back to the early 19th century when Johnson embarked on his Highland adventure. The image not only pays homage to an iconic figure but also invites us to reflect on our own journeys of self-discovery and exploration. As we gaze upon this remarkable print by Bridgeman Images, we are reminded that great art has the power to transcend time and capture moments that continue to inspire generations.
