EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a portrait of Thomas Pennant, a remarkable figure in 18th-century British history. The image, created in 1830 by an unknown artist, captures the essence of Pennant's multifaceted life as a Welsh naturalist, travel writer, and antiquarian. Pennant's influential books left an indelible mark on literary circles, even catching the attention of renowned author Samuel Johnson. His travels were not solitary endeavors; he was accompanied by his faithful servant and talented illustrator Moses Griffith. Together, they meticulously documented their journeys - from picturesque landscapes to the customs and wildlife encountered along the way. The photograph is taken from "Biographical Illustrations" by Alfred Howard, published in London during that era. It offers us a glimpse into Pennant's world - his passion for natural history intertwined with his keen interest in people and their traditions. In this striking profile portrait, Pennant gazes away thoughtfully as if contemplating his next adventure or perhaps reflecting on past discoveries. The engraving beautifully captures his distinguished features and intellectual aura. As we admire this piece of artistry from our heritage collection at Heritage Images, we are reminded of Thomas Pennant's significant contributions to literature and science during both the 18th and 19th centuries.
