EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts the renowned British poet, Richard Owen Cambridge (1717-1802), best known for his satirical work "The Scribleriad." A prominent figure in the literary scene of his time, Cambridge's wit and clever verses earned him both popularity and the friendship of many leading figures in the arts and politics. Born in London, Cambridge's poetic talents were discovered at an early age. He began publishing his works in the 1740s, and by the 1750s, he had gained a significant following. "The Scribleriad," a satirical poem that poked fun at the literary and political figures of the day, solidified his reputation as a master of satire. The work was so well-received that it remained popular long after its initial publication. Cambridge's circle of friends included some of the most influential figures of his time, such as Samuel Johnson, Joshua Reynolds, and Edmund Burke. These friendships not only enriched his personal life but also provided him with valuable insights and inspiration for his poetry. Despite his success, Cambridge remained humble and dedicated to his craft. He continued to write and publish throughout his life, leaving behind a body of work that continues to be appreciated for its wit, insight, and satirical commentary on the society of his time. This print serves as a testament to his enduring legacy as a poet and a friend to many of the most influential figures of the 18th century.
