EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the renowned English philosopher, Jeremy Bentham (1748-1832), captured in a moment of contemplation. Published in 1833 as part of the Gallery of Portraits collection, this engraving by an anonymous 19th-century English artist beautifully captures Bentham's intellectual presence. Jeremy Bentham was not only a writer on jurisprudence and Utilitarian ethics but also the founder of University College, London. His contributions to philosophy and social reform have left an indelible mark on history. In this half-length portrait, he is depicted wearing a hat and waistcoat, exuding an air of wisdom and authority. Bentham's ideas were groundbreaking for his time; he advocated for individual freedom, equality before the law, and utilitarianism - the belief that actions should be judged based on their ability to maximize happiness for the greatest number of people. His work laid the foundation for modern ethical theories and continues to influence political thought today. This print serves as a powerful reminder of Bentham's enduring legacy as a moralist, economist, theoretical jurist, reformer, and influential figure during the Georgian era. As we gaze upon this remarkable image from our private collection, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand one of history's most brilliant minds shaping society with his revolutionary ideas.
