EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph from 1869 showcases the renowned Thomas Parr, a man who achieved extraordinary longevity in Shrophire. Born in 1483 and passing away in 1635 at the remarkable age of 152, Thomas Parr's life was nothing short of astonishing. The lithograph depicts an aged yet dignified Thomas Parr, his weathered face telling tales of a life well-lived. The artist, Peter Paul Rubens, captures the essence of this legendary figure with great skill and detail. Thomas Parr's story is one for the ages. At the age of 80, he married Jane Taylor and later had an affair with Katharin Milton when he reached the incredible milestone of 105 years old. Astonishingly, at age 122 (or according to some sources, at age 120), he married Jane Adda or Jane Lloyd. This print also holds historical significance as it features on Old Tom Parr whisky bottles. It is based on a stipple engraving by R. Page after a portrait by Peter Paul Rubens found in Henry Wilson and James Caulfield's Book of Wonderful Characters. With its rich history and intriguing subject matter, this lithograph offers us a glimpse into the life of an extraordinary individual who defied all odds through his exceptional longevity and fascinating personal relationships.
