EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a significant moment in history, depicting Dr Samuel Johnson's first interview with John Wilkes in 1866. Both men were influential figures in their respective fields and played pivotal roles in shaping England's literary and political landscapes. Dr Samuel Johnson, often referred to as simply "Dr Johnson" was a renowned author and writer. His contributions to English literature, including his famous dictionary, earned him great acclaim. John Wilkes, on the other hand, was an English radical, journalist, and politician known for his controversial views. In this image, we see the two men seated at a dining table engaged in conversation. The atmosphere is filled with intellectual energy as they discuss matters of literature and politics. They are surrounded by food and drink symbolizing the sustenance that fuels both body and mind. The artist W Thomas has skillfully captured the essence of this historic encounter through intricate details such as the monochrome tinting technique used to highlight specific elements of the scene. The hand-colored later adds depth to their expressions and brings life to their surroundings. This print from The Illustrated London News provides us with a glimpse into an era when literary giants like Dr Samuel Johnson met political firebrands like John Wilkes. It serves as a reminder of how these individuals shaped our understanding of literature and politics during the 19th century in Britain.
