EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from 1836 showcases the enigmatic figure of E. J. Trelawny, a renowned writer and adventurer of the 19th century. The portrait captures Trelawny in profile, his head and shoulders adorned with a distinguished moustache and beard that exude an air of ruggedness and wisdom. Trelawny's life was as extraordinary as his appearance suggests. Having joined the Royal Navy at a tender age, he embarked on a remarkable journey around the world before sailing alongside pirates in the Indian Ocean. It was during this time that fate led him to cross paths with two literary giants - Percy Bysshe Shelley and Lord Byron - while they resided in Pisa in 1822. The engraving hints at Trelawny's involvement in momentous events such as witnessing Shelley's cremation, where he famously snatched the poet's heart from the flames. He also took part in Byron's Greek War of Independence, further cementing his reputation as an intrepid adventurer. With its intricate details capturing every line on Trelawny's weathered face, this print offers us a glimpse into the life of an extraordinary man who straddled both worlds: that of a sailor navigating treacherous seas and that of an esteemed author mingling with literary luminaries. As we gaze upon this portrait, we are reminded not only of Trelawny’s undeniable charm but also his indomitable spirit – forever etched within these lines
