EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of John Milton, one of England's most renowned poets. Taken in 1912, it showcases a portrait of Milton, who lived from 1608 to 1674. Despite being blind since around 1652, he left an indelible mark on literature with his epic masterpiece Paradise Lost, first published in 1667. The image portrays a man of intellect and creativity. With long hair cascading down his shoulders and dressed in traditional seventeenth-century attire, Milton exudes an air of sophistication. His collar is neatly pressed against his neck while his hairstyle reflects the fashion trends of that era. The photograph was featured in Famous Houses and Literary Shrines of London by John Adcock—a testament to the lasting impact Milton had on British literary culture. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to this portrayal, emphasizing the significance of Milton's contributions to poetry and literature. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time to witness the presence and genius that defined John Milton as both a poet and writer. It serves as a reminder that even amidst adversity—such as losing his sight—Milton persevered and created works that continue to inspire generations today.
