EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the iconic image of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, a renowned German poet from the 19th century. Taken in 1956, this portrait showcases Goethe's distinguished features, with his piercing eyes and thoughtful expression. Goethe was not just a poet but also a novelist, dramatist, humanist, scientist, philosopher, and even served as chief minister of state at Weimar for ten years. His literary masterpiece "Faust" completed in 1832, remains one of his most celebrated works. The print is part of the volume titled "People" which delves into the origin and early history of various subjects both essential and non-essential. Published by Readers Union through The Grosvenor Press in London during 1956. Ludwig Sebers is credited as the creator behind this photograph while remaining unknown to us otherwise. The composition beautifully highlights Goethe's profile against a monochrome backdrop. As an influential figure in German arts and politics during his time, Goethe's legacy continues to inspire writers and thinkers worldwide. This print serves as a timeless reminder of his significant contributions to literature and philosophy throughout the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
