EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print showcases Thomas Combe, a distinguished figure in the world of printing during the 19th century. Created by renowned artist William Holman Hunt, this piece beautifully captures Combe's essence and character through the use of red and black chalk. In this head and shoulders composition, we see a bearded man with an air of wisdom and experience. His gaze is focused yet gentle, reflecting his dedication to his craft as Printer to the University. The intricate details in his facial hair and greying locks speak volumes about his age and maturity. Set against a neutral background, Combe stands as a symbol of knowledge and academia within the prestigious walls of Oxford University. This portrait not only pays homage to him but also serves as a testament to the importance of printing in education during that era. As we admire this Victorian masterpiece housed at Ashmolean Museum, it becomes evident that every stroke holds significance. Through Hunt's artistic skill, he has immortalized Thomas Combe's legacy for generations to come.
