EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a pastel portrait of Clement Clark Moore, created by the talented artist James Sharples in 1810. The framed color drawing, executed on grey paper, captures Moore at the age of thirty-one. A prominent figure in literature and academia, Moore was not only a writer and poet but also held the esteemed position of Professor of Oriental and Greek Literature, Divinity, and Biblical Learning at the General Theological Seminary in New York City. Moore's most renowned work is undoubtedly his timeless poem "A Visit from St Nicholas" which has become better known as "The Night Before Christmas" or "Twas the Night Before Christmas". This beloved holiday classic has warmed hearts for generations with its enchanting depiction of Santa Claus and his magical sleigh ride. In this exquisite portrait, we see Moore portrayed in profile, capturing his thoughtful expression and intellectual demeanor. His contribution to literature resonates through this image as it immortalizes him as both a scholar and an accomplished wordsmith. Preserved within Bristol Museum and Art Gallery in the UK since its purchase in 1931, this artwork serves as a testament to Clement Clark Moore's enduring legacy. It reminds us that even centuries later, his poetic genius continues to bring joy to countless readers during the festive season.
