EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable engraving of William Evans Burton, skillfully crafted by W. G. Jackman in 1875. The image, measuring 17x13 cm, is housed in the esteemed Free Library of Philadelphia's Print and Picture Collection. William Evans Burton was an English actor, playwright, and publisher known for his compelling portrayals of characters from Charles Dickens' renowned works. This engraving beautifully captures his essence as it was based on a daguerreotype taken by Brady, Mathew - another prominent figure in the field. Published by D. Appleton at the time, this piece exemplifies the collaboration between talented individuals within the artistic community during that era. It serves as a testament to both Burton's contribution to theater and literature and Jackman's mastery of engraving techniques. In this head-and-shoulders portrait, we see Burton exuding confidence and charisma through his piercing gaze and distinguished features. His portrayal of various roles brought Dickens' beloved characters to life on stage with great success. As we admire this historical artifact from American history, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic value but also its significance in preserving the legacy of influential figures like William Evans Burton who have left an indelible mark on both theater and literature alike.
